An entertaining ride about the creation of the social network that changed the world

Rating: 8/10 (23 February 2020)

I found "The social network" a very engaging movie about the personal life of Mark Zuckerberg during the period in which he created Facebook. The rhythm is fast, the dialogues are mostly quick and there's some dry humor too. All this fresh taste and the fun experience come at the expenses of telling the real story because I think that the plot has a lot of fictional elements in order to be more entertaining. Clearly the main events surrounding the creation of Facebook are real but the details and the general way in which they are told is "freely inspired". But it's ok because its purpose isn't to be a documentary but a fun movie and it surely is the case. There's also a bit of exploration about the themes of friendship, loyalty and the fight for power and richness. Suggested.
