The Social Network

Well this movie demonstrated to me that you shouldn’t judge a movie by its previews. I thought it was just going to be a movie describing your perfect teenage dream. However, the movie put me in my place. The opening scene of the movie was an intense intellectual argument between Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) and his girlfriend Erica Albright (Rooney Mara), which set the pace for a movie with excellent dialogue and acting. I am personally a Justin Timberlake fan but I was very doubtful of his acting skills, but his performance as Sean Parker, creator of Naspter, was very convincing. The basis of the movie was Mark Zuckerberg getting sued for intellectual property theft for the idea of Facebook for a heavy load of cash. The movie was series of flashbacks of how he came up with biggest social networking sites in the world. The writers and actors kept me glued to my seat waiting to see what the conclusion would be and by the end,  the story of Mark Zuckerberg inspired me to go make something of myself. If you have any interest in facebook, capitalism, or just sheer brilliance, this movie will entertain you from start to finish.

Overall Score  8.5
