Treason, ambition, Internet

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2020)

It is never an easy task to adapt a true story, let alone such a recent and contemporary biography. However David Fincher has succeeded. He has done it in the best possible way.
'The social network' tells us how the famous Mark Zuckerberg founded the popular social network 'Facebook'. Fincher tells us a story of power, ambition, and above all treason. All through a script that will jump between different times, each filling the holes that are planted. Although clearly a good script is not enough if there is not a good director behind, and luckily this film finds David Fincher at its highest point. We are probably facing one of his best works so far. Although we must not neglect the great performance provided by Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg, possibly the best one he has performed to date.
One of the most fluid and best worked films that David Fincher has given us, that is 'The social network', despite not being totally perfect, the director knows how to transfer a current story to the cinematographic field in a way that is strong enough so as not to depend on the real protagonists and the name 'Facebook', since the film is capable of supporting itself.
