There are more people on Facebook today than there were
people in 1804, so it’s only fitting that a movie be made about this giant
network. The “Social Network” is about how Facebook became what it is today,
with the addition of some extra drama to make it into an Oscar winning picture.
The Picture won 3 Oscars, and was nominated for 84.
The movie was directed by David Fincher, and written by
Aaron Sorkin. Some of the stars include Justin Timberlake, Jesse Eisenberg, and
Andrew Garfield. Jesse Eisenberg plays Mark Zuckerberg, a Harvard student, who
will eventually found Facebook later in the movie. Although he uses means to
create the network that certain other characters don’t think is fair, leading
to the lawsuit. The Winklevoss twins, played by Armie Hammer, feel as if “the
Zuck” stole their idea. But they’re not the only enemy Zuckerberg makes, he
will eventually edge out his best friend, Eduardo Saverin out of the business
completely despite the fact that it was his money that started the website.
Saverin also takes part in the lawsuit.
The movie is very suspenseful at the end, when you’re
awaiting the results of the lawsuit. You found yourself rooting for a certain
side to get what they deserve, but I won’t say which in an effort to not ruin
anything for you as the reader. One weakness I thought was that it got a little
slow at certain points, with the cluttering of the plot with irrelevant events.
All in all, I would one hundred percent recommend this movie
to anyone, any age maybe above 13 due to a few sex scenes and vulgar language,
not to mention it could confuse anyone younger.
