Really Surprised!
The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
The Social Network presents a fascinating take on the origins of Facebook and the social media craze. David Fincher does a spectacular job of creating complex characters that go from despicable to likable and back in a matter of minutes. From the story to the acting to the soundtrack - this movie excelled. I was surprised by how much I liked this film, even with all the hype surrounding it.
Social net work is about Facebook, but not the company, it's mainly about these two character Mark and Eduardo, the friend ship and conflict are great, and you really buy Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg, at least in this movie. I have no idea what kind of person is Mark Zuckerberg, but in this movie Jesse is Zuckerberg. i really don't think there is much flaw in these movie, i mean it is based on true events. The story is amazing, I love the way they tell the story through "flash backs" if you even can call them flash backs. It is very interesting that they over shadow the story with the reading of the law sue. Most of the time you will get bored or annoyed but the exposition, and this movie is basically full of that, it haves to be, but the movie it's not boring. My greatest concern before i watch these movie that is this movie going to be boring as hell, you expect this movie to be full of dialog, and scenes that just two characters with close up, cut to another cut, but it is not. I think they change the characteristics of Mark Zuckerberg from real life, not completely different, but different enough to makes this character interesting, because they have a very interesting story in hand, all they need is interesting characters. When they have dialog, the way they to keep us audiences interesting is to constantly change locations and scenario. Every time they give out important plot information, the scene is different, the location, the relation between the characters, the situation, sound in the back ground, it keeps the scene fresh enough for the viewers invested. But yet again, this movie is all about exposition, and there is really not much they can do about it, even it's entertaining, and the scenes are fleshed out, it still gets a bit bored from time to time, it's not at a point that is bad, it's just a little flaw of the movie that the creators really can't do about it, i really think they make the best out of it, every second of them hacking is extremely entertaining, from cuts to cuts, sound design, and the lighting, it is just beautiful. I said it before, this movie is all about the character, and they really did fleshed out these two characters. Everything that happened, you buy it, you believe it, not because it is real, it's because of you believe these characters would do such action. And i have to say, the performance is amazing, there is just one thing i like to point out, mainly because of the actor Jesse Eisenberg, he always do this, most of the characters he play, they all tend to talk really fast, it's not out of the character, but after seeing some movies, he talks fast all the time, I don't know why, but it's not wrong, at least in this movie. The clash of these two character seems so natural, the build up of the conflict and distance starts early all the way to the climax of the movie, and the impact was extremely powerful. And there are a lot of smart film making and writing. In conclusion, this movie is beautifully shot, and characters are great, the story is great, you can actually feel something after seeing this movie, unlike most films today, so I recommend people watch this movie.
The screenplay from Aaron Sorkin really makes this film. It makes what could have been a boring concept thrilling and absorbing. The dialogue is so visceral and quick-fire that I never lost interest despite not knowing all the jargon being used. David Fincher's direction is focused which really helps keep the narrative flowing. I never found myself bored because of the excellent combination of writing and direction. Jesse Eisenburg's performance as Mark Zuckerberg is thrilling as he plays what is almost an insufferable genius to perfection, whilst his performance is grounded by the excellent Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin, the co-founder of Facebook. No character is truly moral, all working with their own agendas and interests which creates realistic conflict. When Saverin confronts Zuckerberg about his shares in the company being diluted it ends up being one of the best scenes in the film because of this.There also must be a mention to Justin Timberlake's portrayal of Sean Parker, who is the closest thing to an antagonist in the film, with how he clashes with Saverin and in effect forces him out of Facebook. The only issues I had with the film was when it cut back to the lawsuit going on in the present day, as I felt it disrupted the pace of the narrative somewhat, and that the ending seemed a little abrupt.I know the subject matter has probably been somewhat glamourised to make the narrative more entertaining, but it certainly succeeds there.
I remember sitting in a well-lit, spacious classroom talking to my friend who has long, voluminous beautiful hair, and she was telling about seeing this movie in Dubai and saying that it filled her with passion for coding, that Mark & co are so smart, that she wishes we were like them. We were IT majors.It must have been in 2010 or 2011, as she graduated in 2012, and I did in 2013. Those years I hardly watched any movies, as I was too obsessed with TV shows. I watched hundreds of them, mastering English and failing my classes in the meantime.Now, in December of 2017, I am getting slowly back to my roots, watching movies and reading articles, albeit very slowly and sporadically. It's weird, if I had watched this movie earlier, I'd probably have given it 10 stars, because it was gripping, exciting and aesthetically pleasing. But I am too deep in the tumblr and twitter culture now that I couldn't ignore how glaring the lack of good representation of women was in this film. They were either crazy, unimportant, or a prize that was awarded for anyone who got ahead.
