Fincher proves why Facebook is and will always be without par.

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2013)

David Fincher is back with yet again a tale blended with emotions, drama, tensions, and what movies of hype like this lack mostly - a story.
Based on Ben Mezrich's autobiographical book, "The Accidental Billionaires", the movie portrays the life and struggle of the CEO and founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg. We are adequately exposed in parts of this movie the genius Zuckerberg bears; one can specially not forget the scene in which the Harvard Professor asks his question to the entire class to which Mark walks away, spluttering the answer all the way and the Professor just has to say, "that is correct."
"The Social Network" is loaded with fine performances, delightful narration with crisp dialogues, well-timed sequences, and a genius script. The movie is breathtakingly fast and one has to constantly keep his concentration focused at the film in order to keep the pace, which is one of the best aspects of the movie. The film has sufficient supply of good acting, with Jesse Eisenberg as the leading man. He does his job - playing and portraying Mark Zuckerberg - and he does it with utmost zeal, doing full justice to the role assigned to him. It is no surprise to the audience why he won the Oscar nomination; rather it is surprising why he did not get it. Andrew Garfield plays the role of Mark Zuckerberg's best friend-turned-foe-and-then-friends-again-at-the-end-of-the-day Eduardo Staverin, and perhaps David Fincher could never have found a role better for him. The role fits him and he fits the role perfectly. The "technically broke" "zillionaire" founder of Napster, Sean Parker, is played by Justin Timberlake. Timberlake is good with the role, and he delivers it effortlessly. (Remember the scene in which he instructs Eisenberg to say, "Sean Parker says, 'F**k you!'"?)
The sequences of the movie grasp you from the commencement of the movie when Mark gets a break-up from his girlfriend till the end in which the non-disclosure agreements are signed and the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, is sending a Friend Request to her on Facebook and is constantly refreshing the page to see if she's accepted it. In between, there is a lot of drama and thrill and you just can't miss this one. It is one of the best movies ever made in Hollywood, arguably. Flawless and pleasing. It simply proves why Fincher is, and will always be, without par.
