The Social Network
Usually, when a nerd invents something, it is promptly captured, decapitated, and the stolen panties returned to the girls' dormitory.
However, in the case of this dorkenstein, his creation was allowed to flourish.
After he is dumped, a supercilious Harvard student, Mark (Jesse Eisenberg), creates a vicious website that attracts the affluent eyes of the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer).
After agreeing to program a social networking website for them, Mark then takes their concept to his benefactor Eduardo (Andrew Garfield) and begins work on his own social network.
When the site launches, so, too, do lawsuits from the twins, as well as Eduardo.
The analysis of an asshole, The Social Network is a profound film, thanks to director David Fincher and Jesse Eisenberg's haunting performance.
And the best thing about communicating via electronic devices is that–just like in real-world conversations–you never have to look away from the screen. (Green Light)
