Birth of Zuckerberg.

Rating: 10/10 (25 November 2015)

The Social Network (2010): Dir: David Fincher / Cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, Armie Hammer, Rooney Mara: Compelling and fascinating film about loneliness and seclusion. Jessie Eisenberg plays Mark Zuckerberg, the youngest billionaire thanks to a social network called Facebook. Mostly in flashback it is indicated that his revenge on an ex-girlfriend resulted in a site that crashes the Harvard web server. He is approached to assist in a network called The Harvard Connection but he misleads and creates a social network for everyone called Facebook, which results in a couple lawsuits and the reality that being a billionaire has ultimately cost him in terms of social acceptance. Andrew Garfield plays Eduardo Severin, his best friend who put up money for the site but feels betrayed. Justin Timberlake plays Napster founder Sean Parker whom also invests in the site but due too his problematic past, Eduardo doesn't trust him. Parker is hyped on parties and drugs, which become his ultimate downfall. Armie Hammer plays the Winklevoss twin Cameron and Tyler who first approach Zuckerberg regarding the Harvard site and are now suing claiming that he stole their idea. They are part of a rowing team and result in comic relief. Rooney Mara has a small but pivotal role as the initial target of Zuckerberg's emotional dispute. Directed by David Fincher who previously made such intriguing films as Zodiac, The Game, Seven, and Fight Club, this is easily one of his very best. It demonstrates how success and wealth don't equal popularity and friendship. Score: 10 / 10
