    The movie is amazing, both the American and Swedish versions.

    I’m pretty sure I know the scene you’re thinking of. Don’t know if I’d consider the scene gore just because they don’t show a lot, though I can’t recall the Swedish version of it that much. It’s mostly implied. Same way you don’t see the actors actually having sex.

    All of the sex scenes are part of Lisbeth Salander’s character arc. The first two showing why she hates men.

    I don’t think there’s are many sex scenes in movies that actually have story information in it. Probably some spy movies. But, if you include scenes that get interrupted by the story then the number shoots up.

    If you removed them all from Girl with the Dragon Tattoo I don’t think you’d be confused, but the story would be less impactful. I suppose you might be confused about why Lisbeth acts the way she does.
