Review of The Social Network (2010) by Dylan M — 06 Mar 2016

The Social Network directed by David Fincher and written Aaron Sorkin, dives into the story about Mark Zuckerberg and his creation of the social media website, Facebook. The film shifts back and forth from the back story behind the development of thesocial media phenomenon to Zuckerbergs legal trouble with the suspicion of stealing the idea of the website.

I really enjoyed this movie and thought it was incredibly well done. Fincher directs a beautiful film. He adds the right tone to the film behind Sorkins intelligent script. I thought the movie was really well paced and flowed quite nicely.

The movie falls under the risk as to where it can get extremely boring but for me there wasn't a dull moment in this film, I was completely invested with the story and plot throughout the entirety of the movie.

Fincher and Sorkin do a great job at keeping this movie as engaging as possible. The film does a nice job at describing all of the business dialogue.They didn't throw in a bunch of huge complicated numbers and made it easy for the audience to comprehend and follow.

One of the best things the Social Network has going for it are its characters and performances. Especially Eisenberg, Garfield, and Timberlake. All three actors create believable characters and bring their own personal vibe to the film which I thought was very intriguing.

The three honestly hold the movie together with their chemistry on screen, emotion given, and devotion to the story. Backed by smart direction, a strong script, engaging dialogue, and fascinating story, The Social Network is a fantastic piece of cinematic art.
