The Scene: Lisbeth (Rooney Mara), over the course of her dealings with Mikael (Daniel Craig), has grown close to another person. Despite everything in her life that has led her to believe otherwise, she has placed faith in a man. So much so that she bought him a Christmas gift.
What We're Thankful For: In a scene that many decry as a case of too many endings, Lisbeth goes to Mikael's home to share a present and intimacy. When Mikael walks out with his mistress hanging on his arm, the jacket she purchased finds a new home in the trash.
Gift under the tree/Coal for your stocking: This scene is darkly comic in only a way that David Fincher can pull off—don't forget this is also the same man who played Enya's "Orinoco Flow" during a torture scene thirty minutes earlier. Fincher couldn't have found a better way to include the spirit and love of the season than by showing Lisbeth throwing away her affections in the garbage. "Merry Christmas."
