Yet Another Excellent Film By David Fincher

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2013)

When I heard about the film The Social Network, I was a bit confused. I wondered how David Fincher, director of films like Fight Club and Se7en, was going to pull off a movie about Mark Zuckerberg and his triumph up the social hierarchy towards his fame and stardom through Facebook. After I saw this film I was absolutely amazed by how the director of such gritty crime thrillers, could direct an amazing biography drama of a Harvard student creating Facebook. Fincher takes up-and-coming star Jesse Eisenberg, and turned him into to an Oscar nominee for best performance by an actor in a leading role. This movie offers much more than just a kid making a web page, but how through the process, what he must give up, and what he must gain to make it work. If you are looking for a great movie, with an intriguing story line, excellent acting and articulate dialogue, then watch The Social Network.
