The Social Network review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 12/28/11
Harvard University student Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) is dumped by his girlfriend Erica Albright, which inspires him to produce an on-campus website called Facemash. His friend Eduardo (Andrew Garfield) help finance Mark's next project, an online social networking website exclusive to Harvard University students called The Facebook. Eduardo and Mark arrange a meeting with Napster co-founder Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake). One of the best lines from Parker - "We lived on farms, then we lived in cities, and now we're going to live on the internet!"
The soundtrack was hip, performances sincere and screenplay just astounding. If only it's plot was more factual. Maybe the director inquired from the founder before creating the picture and better character background for the borthers were emphasized. To quote the main lead from the film - "The grounds are our thing is cool and popular and HarvardConnection is lame! Wardo, I didn't use any of their code, I promise. I didn't use anything! Look, a guy who builds a nice chair doesn't owe money to everyone who ever has built a chair, okay? They came to me with an idea, I had a better one." A film of innovation, ideas, making an impact and friendship. The Social Network entertains from beginning to end, though it would have been a lot better if the authenticity of the story matches in real life instead of making it too "Hollywood" friendly, still one of the best produced films of the year.
