A modern-day Citizen Kane.

Rating: 9/10 (22 February 2011)

This movie is a modern-setting Citizen Kane or There Will Be Blood. All three films chronicle a genius who sap their humanity and friendship for power. And I believe the social network deserves to be among them.
This movie chronicles the sort-of true story of the founding of Facebook. Whether or not it's true I don't care. Anyways, the main character, Mark Zuckerberg, is a computer genius, and I suppose he could be called a nerd, but besides the fact that he is smart, he is not a nerd at all. He is very sure of himself, not nervous at all, and is powered by anger, a very un-nerd-like trait.
Anyways, some guys say Zuckerberg, stole their idea, they sue him, his best friend sues him, and that's basically it in the large scheme of things. What's really fascinating is this character's luring into the land of fame and riches above good friends, and it's consequences. All performances are top notch, and believe it or not Justin Timberlake's pretty cool.
