Review of The Social Network (2010) by Josh K — 06 Jun 2013
The Social Network perfectly focuses on the early history of Facebook. It focuses on Zuckerberg's creation of the website, the lawsuit that is filed by the Winklevoss twins, who claim that he stole their idea, as well as another lawsuit filed by one of Zuckerberg's friends, who feels that Zuckerberg cheated him out of money.
While the film is at times historically inaccurate, it is still a great film and a great watch. The three things that perfectly bring the film together are David Fincher's direction, the acting and Aaron Sorkin's rousing screenplay.
Jesse Eisenberg perfectly leads the cast as Zuckerberg, while Andrew Garfield is perfectly as Eduardo Saverin. Justin Timberlake, Armie Hammer and Max Minghella are also perfectly cast in supporting roles.
Jeff Cronenweth's cinematography is beautiful, while the music by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross is psychedelic and jazzy. The film moves along quickly, but at a good steady pace.
