Sure, it had pretty amazing performances, but I highly doubt the accuracy of the depiction. Not to mention the fact that a website can be made into a movie. It did not interest me the least. Super Reviewer May 02, 2016 Fincher's signature cinematic style works perfectly with the Social Network's sharp script and top-notch performances. Super Reviewer Feb 27, 2016 The Social Network brings out the strengths of its cast as well as direction and story. This film is beautifully shot, very well directed and almost everything works, good job Fincher! Super Reviewer Feb 08, 2016 There are some instances where certain directors just go together perfectly with the project, both in terms of directing style, cinematography preferences, and it's correlation to the overall story. David Fincher directing what seemingly everyone called "that facebook movie" is one of those situations. I feel like I could go on and on for at least sixty pages about how beautifully this film is shot. Fincher's perfectionist "one-hundred takes of every scene or bust" mentality along with Jesse Eisenberg's detached, overtly-cynical portrayal of Mark Zuckerberg meld well together on giving the film a platform for the remaining cast and story to set itself up on. The film's genius and well-calculated approach is further enhanced by casting somebody who i'd previously not believed to be a good actor in even the slightest. Justin Timberlake's portrayal of Napster co-founded Sean Parker was shockingly well-acted. It's a classic case of a former teen idol proving to the world that he has more to offer than just choreography-laden arena shows and a new album every four years that really only suburban moms know about. Timberlake does to a shockingly decent job of portraying Parker as a former high school geek turned internet entrepreneur turned cast-out wannabe-rockstar who acts as the Lennon to Eisenberg's and Garfield's McCartneys to a point. Aside from the rockstar antics of Silicon Valley net heads about 20 years too late to use that term?, and an admittedly detailed portrayal of both Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss by Armie Hammer, the film's biggest focus-point isn't about Facebook at all; instead it's focus is on how money and an astounding wave of success on a billion dollar idea can drive two close friends apart - well, that and the stigma surrounding the whole Finals club thing, but that really isn't that important right here and now. Eisenberg's Zuckerberg and Garfield's Saverin feed off each other quite well in terms of dynamic. Both think of themselves as quite capable as making it in real life they go to Harvard, for the sake of all that is good and pure except for the socializing and love department, at least at the start of the film. They're desperate to leave their handprints on the world despite Zuckerberg here being too full of himself and cynicism to admit such. And that's the beauty of the Social Network, there's no teary goodbyes, no happy ending all around, and no resolution of the main conflict. Facebook is only a fulcrum in the film's true plot line of how a subtle behind-the-scenes Battle Royale for control over a world-changing idea can rip people apart in a seemingly irreparable way.
