It was the most eagerly anticipated release of 2012 that fans in India got robbed of. David Fincher's adaptation of Stieg Larsson's bestselling The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo might not have made it to theaters in the subcontinent owing to its explicit love scenes and violent depictions of rape and torture. But hardcore fans of the film had already gotten themselves a copy of the film on the Internet.
And the biggest buzz surrounding the film at this point of time is its opening title sequence which looks like a cross between a James Bond opening montage and a music video of mosh metal band tool. The opening credits sequence, set to a revisiting of Immigrant Songby Karen O and
Trent Reznor, which lasts for roughly four minutes is a phantasmagoria laden trip that gives a hint of all the themes explored in the film. A throwback to the days of Fight Club, also directed by Fincher based on the book by
Chuck Palahniuk, which featured a vertigo-inducing journey into the neural networks inside a human brain, the Tattoo credits have already made their way into the league of cult openings. The video has aroused the interest of fans the world over who are now debating on the things being alluded to in the credits.
