DIRECTED BY: DAVID FINCHER
STARRING: Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg (founder of FACEBOOK)
The Social Network is Directed by David Fincher who has made some of the very well known and successful movies in past (like the curious case of Benjamin button, the zodiac and my favorite Fight Club). It’s about social networking website FACEBOOK and its founder mark Zuckerberg .A high voltage drama consisting great narration and performances from young cast.
Story starts with Mark creating a website called FACEMASH in one night about attractiveness of female students of Harvard after breaking up with his girlfriend. He was given six month’s academic probation for violation of rules and bringing down Harvard’s network. This attracts the eyes of winklevoss brothers and narendra and offers him to work with him on the website harwardconnect. But mark had some other plans in his mind so he works on another website with his friend Eduardo called thefacebook exclusively for harward students and soon site gains popularity among the students. When Winkelvoss brothers and narendra learns about this, they thinks that he stole their idea and wanted to sue him.
Meanwhile Sean Parker (founder of ‘Napster’) comes to know about this website and in a meeting with mark and Eduardo he tells how to move forward with their website and gets in to the team of facebook when mark bring company to Palo Alto as suggested by parker. From here game of money and betrayal gets deeper which creates so many problems for them.
The beauty of the movie is the way it’s been narrated, the whole story is told in between discussions of the 2 law suits faced by Mark, one from his friend Eduardo and another from Winklevoss brothers and narendra. David Fincher did great job and made it superbly entertaining from start to the end. Jesse Eisenberg played Mark Zuckerberg’s character with utmost sincerity.
All in all full of entertainment and superb drama. Watch it for sure.
RATING: 7.5 FROM 10.
