A Movie That Appeals To Every Generation

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2016)

When you first hear that a movie is going to be made about the creation of Facebook you don't think big things from it much less that it would be consider one of this generations masterpieces. Thought I wouldn't go as far as that I still love The Social Network and I think that it's a close second for David Finchers best film. After seeing this film I legitimately could not have seen someone else directing this film he just knows how to direct a movie his process of taking as many as takes as necessary works for this movie as it mirrors the themes of inventiveness and betrayal. This is arguably Jesse Eisenberg most icon role and it is for a reason he's just perfect in this movie his acting style matches perfectly with the character of Mark Zuckerberg who is a fascinating protagonist. Even though he isn't always the most likable character his say-things-as-they-are attitude makes him an intriguing and sometimes funny character that always captures the viewers attention. Most of the events of this film are shown through flashbacks and while that has been seen before it works perfectly for this films narrative and makes for some truly amazing editing. Aaron Sorkins screenplay is one of the best written of recent years it's a script that in some way relates to everyone we've all had something that we're good at in life and want to strive to be the best at, we've all had friends that we want to keep but can't because real life gets in the way all of this is addressed in The Social Networking making sure that everyone will in some way be able to connect with this film. The supporting cast are all fantastic in this film Andrew Garfield was worthy of at least an Oscar nomination in this film he bounces perfectly of Eisenberg and serves a reflection of the audience in this film. Justin Timberlake also really blew me away in this film he just is so good at playing his almost unlikable character and has never since been able to live up to this performance.
Overall The Social Network is a guaranteed classic that will forever be remembered by this generation as one of its most relatable movies and one of Finchers best efforts.
