The Millennium Series

I took some time last week to watch the Millennium Series, the trilogy the begins with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Of course, I watched the original Swedish version. I LOVED it. I have not seen a film with such a strong feminist message in such a long time. I am taking advantage of my netflix subscription to catch up with pop culture. A story line where a female is deemed crazy for stopping the sexual and physical abuse of her mother, only to be locked inside of a mental facility where she is raped by her doctors and written up as delusional and crazy. This treatment continues throughout her young adult life, where she continues to face sexual abuse in the system of mental health care. By the end of the trilogy, I am delighted to see that justice was in this case brought about in the criminal justice system.
