Fincher does it again

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2011)

The Social Network - or "The Facebook-movie", is one of last year's biggest surprises. How exciting can a movie about a few guys creating a popular website be? Well, apparently, very! The movies isn't about Facebook, which probably saved it from being a really boring film. We just use Facebook, we don't need to know everything about creating it, because we probably wouldn't even understand it. It's about the people behind it and what happened to them. The irony of it all...
Jesse Eisenberg is the heart and soul of this film as Mark Zuckerberg. You have to love him, because he's the perfect nerdy college kid. Too smart, funny hair, talks way too fast and writes angry blog entries. And then you start to hate him, because his social skills are so bad that he doesn't even realize what he's doing to his friendship and to his life.
I would have given an Oscar nomination to Andrew Garfield. He was so powerful as Eduardo Saverin, Mark's best friend. He's the important support the film needs. He's a little funny and warm and the guy we all know. He was my favorite part of the film.
David Fincher is a great director. He really got the best performance from his actors and made a film that we wanted to see and we didn't get bored watching. The multiple takes were worth it, the result is an interesting and exciting film about the irony behind Facebook - Mark Zuckerberg brought the whole world together with his website and with it, he destroyed a couple of friendships.
I give it a 9/10. Would have gotten a 10 if they featured more Erica (Rooney Mara) she was way more interesting than Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake)
