The Social Network Review


Description:
 In short this movie is basically about how facebook was invented and the aftermath behind it. The movie follows a young nerdy boy who is on a quest to link his friends via the internet in which he succeeds in doing so, which eventually lead to other problems.
Acting: 
The first thing that you notice on the first five minutes of this movie is how amazing Jesse Eisenberg’s acting is. His words and tone of voice and how believable he makes the character is uncanny. Another great actor in the movie was Andrew Garfield who did an amazing job in playing the co-founder of facebook. The only negative side i see about the acting is the casting of Justin Timberlake, I speculate that his part in the movie was mere show due to basically being Justin Timberlake not because he was perfect for the role, well thats just in my opinion.
Directing: 
As expected from David Fincher, tackling any movie and making it into a masterpiece, this movie couldve only been a small documentary that would be passed around through some people, but no he came and he made it into this huge movie which shocked millions. His style of directing is amazing and how he approached it was perfect in the way he contrasted between the past and the future, showing us from the beginning of the problems and then getting us to know how all of it happened. 
Opinion:
 (This is coming from a person who doesnt like facebook and also doesnt have one) In my opinion i believe this movie is really special for many reasons. First due to its amazing acting from the main character and adding the likability factor to him. Second the mere thought of how one minute you can be best friends with someone and the next you are sitting in front of him while he is sueing you is mind blowing. The final reason for its originality is that i haven’t seen any movie that is based on a website become this big and turn out to be a great movie. I advise everyone to go see this movie if you haven’t and i hope you enjoy it.
