The Social Network- A Smart Movie

By: Thejas Krishnan on 5:45 PM

Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake

Director: David Fincher 

The Social Network is a Movie based on the creation and developement of technology that is sweeping up everybody, Facebook . Though the original corporation denied the story and their support how-so-ever, they've come up with a smart movie.

Jesse Eisenberg stars as Mark Zuckerberg, the geeky Harvard student who in 2004 started Facebook in his dorm room, launching a social media revolution, and becoming the world's youngest billionaire at 26.

Zuckerberg's rise to fame also spawned two lawsuits, the first from fellow Harvard students, the Winklevoss twins who accused him of stealing their idea and turning it into Facebook.

Zuckerberg was also sued by the site's initial financial backer and his only friend, Eduardo Saverin (played by Andrew Garfield), for denying him fair credit and his promised share of profits.

The real Zuckerberg, however, has dismissed the film as pure fiction. It's not hard to see why.The film portrays Zuckerberg as a neurotic nerd who has terrible social skills; who came up with the idea of Facebook after he was dumped by his girlfriend; and who sold out the only friend who stood by him.

Zuckerberg may not be shown in a flattering light, but he makes for a compelling character. The great irony, and the film's key observation, is that the man who connected as many as 500 million people through a common platform, might himself be the loneliest guy in the world. 

The director David Fincher and writer Sorkin have to credited for their intelligent potrayal. this somber film is also peppered with some genius dialogues and apt music which makes it an exciting watch.

Overall The Social Network is a Smart movie, for people who like facts put cut and staright.But some where it shows  vague and raw human emotions on the backdrop of the technical phenomenon called facebook.

Rating 3.5/5
