Pretty good film about the creation of a social and cultural addiction yet it shows it's motives arrived from greed and hormones.

Rating: 8/10 (7 October 2010)

As it's so common today we live in a high tech and fast paced world of technology and social networking and connecting, as it's just a part of life despite if you think it's bad or not. I for one even though I enjoy the internet and info, I'm not to big of a fan of social networks like Facebook I say go to a club or read a book. Anyhow this film written just perfect by Aaron Sorkin and directed in a long drawn method by the brilliant David Fincher is an interesting and feel good look at how Facebook came about.
"The Social Network" starting in 2003 at Harvard you have the brain and nerd geek boy Mark Zuckerberg(Jesse Eisenberg)and you guessed it he's lonely and desperate to score with his girl Erica(Rooney Mara)so instead of giving into the social pressures of clubs, and his other peers Mark gives into his anger and starts a fresh new ideal, which has Erica to dump him. So after returning to his dorm room he starts up a website of fresh faces mostly hot looking chicks that he would like to score with. Zuckerberg as he did with his girlfriend Erica starts to type and post nasty items and sexy sayings of which coed he thinks is hotter. It's strangely a thing that's a new tech social hit only to university officials Mark himself seems like a new convicted criminal, as much of the film is flashback of him being on trial in front of university officials.
This film mostly serious as it shows an intellect can be interesting and fun it transforms even deeper by showing how Zuckerberg's trip to the Silicon Valley put the final touches on Facebook and his connection with Napster founder Sean Parker(good supporting performance from Justin Timberlake)spices up and makes this picture sweet sugar as it shows the internet business as dirty which includes cocaine parties with hot young sexy chicks that wear sexy colored bras. As it's somewhat of an introduction of a party life for Mark before he becomes a very very rich man.
Overall "The Social Network" is a film that captures our times well as it's telling of a cultural and social creation like Facebook was interesting and educational. It's made even more watchable with it's intellect intrigue and drama proving that this social creation was motivated by greed and hormone driven lust, as this was a way for young men to score and meet hot women! Take it for what you want it's an interesting movie that fits our times well of social connection and greed lust driven technology.
