The Social Network is one of the best films of the decade so far. With one of the best scripts I've ever read (I read the script as well and it's a better read than many novels honestly), no doubt thanks to the talent of Aaron Sorkin, and as a result the film earned a much deserved oscar for best adapted screenplay. The performances are great as every member of the cast is on the top of their game. Visually, the film is very good too, the style of the film and the camera work is very impressive.
It's 'The Facebook Movie' and it follows the story of Mark Zuckerberg inventing facebook, from a dorm room at Harvard in 2003 to the biggest social media website in the world, and it tells the story in a very interesting way, using flashbacks told as accounts of the events in the depositions of two concurrent court cases, as Zuckerberg was being sued both by the Winklevoss twins,played by Armie Hammer, students at Harvard at the same time as him, for intellectual property theft, as well as his former friend and partner Eduardo Saverin, played by Andrew Garfield, who I think was the best part of the entire film.
The Social Network also has one of the most unique soundtracks of any film I've watched and it's a personal favorite of mine. I love to listen to film scores and this is a soundtrack I listen to all the time. The techno-y vibe fits very well with the subject matter tone and visuals of the film. Trent Reznor did a great job.
Overall, a fantastic film that was well directed, well written, well acted and well scored, and was a film that drew me in and got me hooked on the story thanks to a fantastic script.
