An Exorcise in Filmmaking

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2010)

Let me begin this review by saying, this film is NOT about Facebook. No, this film is about one Mark Zuckerberg and his tumultuous journey to success in becoming the youngest billionaire in the world.
Firstly, the performances. The entire cast was phenomenal. Each and every actor gave it their all, and not one of them came up short. Even Justin Timberlake gave a very strong performance. Brenda Song, though she didn't have a large role, was surprisingly solid as well. There is a lot of Oscar Buzz surrounding these young actors, and I truly hope both Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield receive nominations.
Next, the writing. Aaron Sorkin's screenplay is nothing short of ingenious. He should win an Oscar for conceiving the words 'Seanathon' and 'Winklevai' alone.
Let's not forget the score. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross composed a score that is beyond words. These two gentlement deserve nothing less than an Oscar.
A cinematic masterpiece, 'The Social Network' defines our generation and deserves every award it can get.
