The Social Network isn't a story based movie with assertive plot like Se7en

Rating: 8/10 (22 October 2015)

Actually I have been a member of facebook since 2009. When I heard for the first time that one of my favorite directors, David Fincher, is going to make a movie based on facebook's story, I was wondering "what kind of interesting point Fincher sees in this!" It could be a boring movie without any sign of excitement we used to see in his previous movies. By the way he proved that I was wrong! This is on of his best movies and I'm glad that Fincher successfully turned this typical story into some valuable narratives. The Social Network isn't a story based movie with assertive plot like Se7en, but I can say it's a plot-based movie. There are some young people coming up with an idea, making a website which gathers people together in a limited range of places, Harvard university in the first place. As Mark Zukerberg says in the movie -You don't get 500 million friends without making a few enemies- Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg), founder of the website, finds himself disputing with some people including his best friend Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield). The movie goes forward very well. The main story happens in a court in which the history of founding of the website is told in flashbacks. All the scenes, present and past, are related perfectly that face you with a pleasant story until its very end. You may don't like villains of the movie –Winklevoss brothers- because of course they are not the second version of a eloquent serial killer like John Doe, but I'm sure they are in the best place they could ever be, however it depends on your standpoint whether like them or not because they are just some inept geek university students. Fincher with The Social Network proves that you don't necessarily need to have a criminal story to keep the viewers up to the screen, and he also proves that even most commonplace events can be complicated deep inside.
