After garnering rave reviews worldwide, The Social network hits screens this weekend. The true story of the worlds youngest billionaire, does this pack enough punch to be called a winner?
This is one brilliantly written, riveting experience that NO ONE should miss.
Mark Zuckerberg is your stereotypical geek. A Harvard grad who's great with the tech stuff, Mark starts a site facemash which draws everyone's attention. He gets called upon by individuals who want to start as social networking platform but he eventually builds his on. This true story is about the inception of facebook, the legal battle that ensued and the psyche of this prodigy.
The screenplay by veteran Aaron Sorkin is just fabulous. Moving back and forth, it keeps you at the edge of your seat and doesn't loose you for a second. The story is so taut that you don't realize when the 2 hours fly by.
Jesse Eisenberg as the protagonist Mark is stellar. Geeky, possessed and driven, he drinks the character and delivers. Justin Timberlake as the charming Sean Parker is superb as well.
Director David Fincher creates celluloid magic again. Se7en, Fight Club, Benjamin Button, Social Network. His treatment on taking a topic like facebook and making it into an edgy-dark experience is laudable.
So the verdict is out, The Social Network is one of the best films of the year. The biggest networking platform which tears apart the people who create it, this one is unmissable. Run to the theaters now !!!
