Connected, hooked, obsessed, hypnotized, almost drugged!

Rating: 10/10 (13 November 2010)

First things first: The story is seemingly fictional. Judging by certain interviews, pics and clips, Marc's character portrayed laconically, by Jesse, is quite contrasting to the real Marc. Though both have similar facial features, curly hair, mechanical speech pattern, Marc's eyes have warmth,zaniness and simplicity (also nerdiness). Jesse's Marc's eyes are piercing, sport an egotistic look. Real Marc looks like a video game loving nerd, but the latter is crazily obsessive, narcissistic, unfriendly, stoic and caustic. Anne Wintour of whiz world.
Social Network scintillating uplifts what could have been a patronizing Flash Dance/Blind Side ruckus and transforms into a raging tempest, nimble, witty, perky, wondrous and dazzling. An Oscar class script (sadly the Oscars are presently worth nothing due to rash decisions)
Another Oscar (and hopefully other related awards) in the kitty for the sharp, audacious, gravitating music. David Flincher's Curious case... was cumbrous, banal, condescending but this proves to be a rebound, scoring one over Inception too. Best Director and Best film of the year (unless better films arrive) for a simulating experience. The beginning of the movie, I wanted to throw a glass of water on Marc's arrogant face, and the movie made me feel claustrophobic, overwhelmed, beleaguered and humiliated like the female character. Crisp direction with no redundancy.
Jesse rightfully deserves an Oscar nomination for playing a character of contrasting virtues- respectable yet loathsome, stoic yet empathetic (though in the end), rude yet smart and perky. Another Oscar nomination lock-on is Andrew Garfield whose character undergoes four stages, trust, ambiguity, betrayal and redemption.
Supporting cast all exceed expectations: Brenda Song as alluring girlfriend (breaking her Disney Barbie-persona), Justin Timberlake (quite likable) and the twins in a fairly easy performances. 10/10
