Intelligent and fun

Rating: Null/10 (11 November 2010)

This film is about the founding of the wildly Facebook, and the subsequent lawsuits that followed.
"The Social Network" has a good script and unconventional story telling. The non linear story telling by intersecting scenes reminds me of "Memento", but in "The Social Network" it is more accessible. The script is full of witty dialogs, I really enjoyed all the amazing retorts in the legal meetings. The film comes across as a fun, intelligent film which young people can easily relate to. It's quite amazing that a film about computers can be totally not nerdy at all! Facebook is the website at the moment, so a film about Facebook will automatically become the film everyone's talking about. I thought "The Social Network" would be over-hyped because of this, but it turns out that the hype is justified.
