Need film timestamp to avoid watching scene of sexual violence

July 24, 2017 10:18 AM

I want to watch film, 'The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo' - the 2009 original 'Män Som Hatar', not the 2011 English language remake. I shall be watching with English subtitles. [film spoilers under the fold]

I want to skip the scene where Salander's character is raped by her legal guardian Bjurman.

I know how the scene informs the plot, I just don't' want to watch it.

I've looked online, but cannot find a timestamp for the beginning and end of the scene so I can skip it.

I'm asking here, because I suspect it's one of the few places online where someone won't troll me with an incorrect timestamp, nor argue with me as to why I would want to watch the film, yet avoid that particular scene.

Thank You

Best answer: There are two scenes: the first one lasts 2min 30s, and the second (and more violent) scene lasts 5 min.
In the short version (2h33) scene 1 starts at 00:40:33 and scene 2 starts at 00:51:22.
In the part 1 of the long version (3h00), scene 1 starts at 00:48:37 and scene 2 starts at 1:05:40.
