ABSTRACT

The Millennium series written by Stieg Larsson have become one of the world’s best selling detective series. Unfortunately, the writer died abruptly in the middle of writing the whole series which were planned to be 10 stories leaving the series incomplete. With the high popularity of the stories, Män som hatar kvinnor, the first book was adapted to ba Swedish movie by Niels Arden Oplev in 2009. Two years after, in 2011 David Andrew Leo Fincher, an US film director made the same novel into a film. In 2012, these two film were accidentally screened in Korea with only tow weeks of time gap, giving the Korean audience an opportunity to enjoy the two different adaptations from the same book and to experience interesting comparisons of characteristics and expressions. The two films produced in Sweden and in the US respectively are different in many perspectives, including production size, gender description, visual contents, cultural depiction and so on. In this study, differences in the two adaptations of Män som hatar kvinnor, were explored by looking into decisive leads in the crime novels. An comparative analysis with the view of Semiotics was also explored on the raping scene, which plays the crucial motive through out the whole series.
