See This If You See Only One Movie This Year!

Rating: 10/10 (2 October 2010)

I was so focused on this enjoyable movie that it took me forty five minutes to get back to reality. I have only been on Facebook for the last few years. My eleven "friends",most of whom don't even bother to communicate,being seniors as myself, still love to put photos of their children & grandchildren on Facebook. The script is fantastic,not petty or uninteresting. It is very clever,and at times you may have to really concentrate to get all the banter,innuendos and scholarly conversation. Even if you are lacking in computer code and litigation knowledge,you will still be mesmerized by the events in this movie. Besides all this,there is much wittiness and humour in the movie along with an excellent musical score that heightens the suspense.I just couldn't wait to see how it would all play out.
I thought Jesse Eisenberg was amazing as Mark Zukerberg, so believable. Also,I was so impressed with the performance of Justin Timberlake as the founder of Napster, Sean Parker. I never knew he was such a great actor. His awesome performance was amazingly credible.
Even though the film may have been Hollywoodised somewhat,it is so realistic and true-to-life. There are no over-acted or "dumbed-down" scenes. Facebook is a site in progress and being so popular today,the movie is all the more relevant. I am still thinking of the story,the characters,their portrayals,and the fantastic script. I don't see movies more than once,that often but I really can't wait to see this one again. How amazing that it is a true story and still evolving. If you only see one movie this year,this is the one to see.
