Connor Macgregor Reviews...The Social Network
One of the most anticipated films of the year...a contender for Academy Awards...and one film that deserves all recognition.
On a fall night in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication. A mere six years and 500 million friends later, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history... but for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal complications.
This film really is a very great film. I dont say fantastic because i didn`t fully appreciate the characters. I think parts of it werent exactly true. I didn`t buy that in real life Mark was a complete jackass. However i did enjoy Jesse Eisenberg`s performance as Mark. He had an idea and wanted to make money off it. Justin Timberlake i thought was very good at playing Sean. He was greedy and out of control and Timberlake gave a great performance of an arraogant party man who wanted money and power.
But to me ,the true performance of the film was Andrew Garfield who played Mark`s friend Eduaro. Noe i finally understand why he was chosen for the new spiderman film...he is very very very good. I sure hope he nails a nomination for this role because it is a great performance that is the majority of the driving force of the film. Armie Hammer i would also give recongition because i also enjoyed his performance as The Winklevoss Twins.
The Script by Aaron Sorkin is fantastic. The Directing by David Fincher is beautiful and the music is soothing and relaxing and gives a dark feel to the story. This film is going to be one of the best of the year and to me , its joint first with Inception. Never the less see it in cinemas now because it is worth the watch.
