The Social Network should have won best picture

The Pro claims that "The King's speech" was a film for the moment and that "The Social network" was a film for the ages, but doesnt that seem the opposite of the truth? The Social Network is a movie about a website that a majority of us are older then, The King's speech is a film that dates back to before WWII in a time before even our fathers werent born How can The Social Network be a film for the ages and not a film for the moment if 1) Most of us are older than it 2) Will facebook be here for ages? Myspace might have but we all know what happened to it. The Social Network was a documentary of how the social network 500 million people use came into existence, because lets face it nobody knew about its true origins until the movie came out. The film is a documentary of facebook, much like how "The King's Speech" was a documentary of British royalty overcoming a fear that millions of people face. Overcoming a fear of public speaking and overcoming a speech impediment that millions suffer from. You seem to stake most of your argument on the idea that since it won the most Golden Globes, It should have Won best picture, but the criteria for selecting a movie are far different than the performance of a movie in another category. The Kings speech i felt was a fantastic movie, I saw both movies and I enjoyed both of them but King's Speech i felt was better for these reasons. 1) The King's speech is a clearer example of overcoming adversity. In the social Network Zuckerberg has to overcome a lawsuit from 2 twins who claim to have started facebook. In the Kings Speech a man of royal descendency has to overcome a lifelong speech impediment and help lead a nation into the turmoil of WWII by relying on a man of unconventional wisdom and teaching tactics to help him overcome his impediment. 2) In The Social Network the only friendship you see is when Zuckerberg makes friends and then completely screws them over for no obvious reasons. In the film he actually called the cops on his friend (played by timberlake) which turned into a drug raid, and Zuckerberg called it in. In the King's speech the friendship between a British King and an Australian speech therapist form against all odds and stays strong as the common man has to help the king overcome obstacles. It is literally like the mouse having to pul the thorn out of the lions paw, the lion being the king of the jungle and the mouse being the lowly mammal that no one fears and has no position of power. 3) Social network may have thrown a mirror onto a generation, but The Kings speech did the same and more. Anyone who grew up in Britain prior to WWII, anyone with a stuttering problem, anyone who has ever had to go to the last person on the list for help, anyone who has ever formed an unlikely alliance, they can all relate to this film. Social network applies to this generation only but the King's speech has spanned through time itself 4) What about the ending? Social Network = Case isnt settled, fate of facebook isnt known Kings Speech = A lifelong frindship is formed, the speech therapist becomes an honorary duke, the King is looked back in history as one of the greatest kings in British history Social Network did not have a definite ending, Kings Speech did.
