Welcome to Face Book

Rating: 10/10 (23 April 2011)

The Social Network works on so many levels making it one of the best if not the best movie of 2010. This movie is about so many things but mostly about Face book and the man who started it. This is David Fincher best film to date and he is probably on of the finest directors working in Hollywood today.
The movie is not laid out in linear fashion but told through a series of flashbacks. The movie starts with Mark Zuckerberg(Jesse Eisenberg) trying to impress a young woman but comes across as a complete jerk. He has a web page Face Match but soon gets in trouble with Harvard's IT department for breaking into their systems. At this point some rich students with their idea of a social network for Harvard students gets in touch with him and he agrees to help them develop their web page. He takes some of their idea and develops his own web page that will become Face Book. This will cause friction and a law suit which drives the story. In the meantime Mark needs cash to develop the software so he goes to his friend Eduardo Saverin(Andrew Garfield) for some cash and makes him CFO of the business. Well the site takes off and eventually he meets up with Sean Parker(Justin Timberlake) who in a way help mentor Mark and help himself along the way. He causes friction between Mark and Eduardo and the rest is history.
This movie is about Face Book but also about relationships, loyalty, hero worship, the viral nature of the internet, and the business of internet. All actors give really great performances which makes this a most enjoyable movies Grade A
