One of the best films, not only of the year, but of the decade.

Rating: 10/10 (17 January 2011)

How could they ever make a film about Facebook? The Social Network is one of those films that could've been bland and pointless. But screenwriter Aaron Sorkin's brilliant script is the exact opposite. With a lot of dialog and very little detail about the surroundings, director David Fincher's priority was to use his imagination for that part. And boy did it pay off. The Social Network is a beautifully directed, brilliantly scripted film. The story revolves around young 19 year old Facebook creator, Mark Zuckerberg, and the stemming of his idea to create "Facebook", a social networking website, that is immensely popular now with millions of users.
The film's killer opening scene, really starts off the film nicely, with the witty quick dialog that Jesse Eisenberg and Rooney Mara exchange. The film really is a gem with the wicked score by Trent Reznor & Atticus Cross. The bleakness of the music at times, really generates a somber scene. Greatly acted, and beautifully written and directed, The Social Network really has no faults. But clocking in a 120 minutes, the film does a seem a little bit overstretched.
