The Social Network Review

FACEBOOK CHANGED THE WORLD.

Saying so wouldn't be an understatement. That's the level of impact it has. So, how was it founded?

Rather than saying it's a biopic of Mark Zuckerberg, it's accurate to say its the biopic of Facebook itself. It starts with Mark creating Facemash to piss off his ex and carries us through three different versions of what happened in this crossover from Facemash and Facebook.

Aaron Sorkin and David Fincher are the biggest stars of this film, period. Thanks to Columbia Pictures' faith in Fincher who was known for directing gritty action, this combination takes us on a roller coaster ride while inspiring us all the same. Aaron Sorkin, who also makes a little cameo in the film, takes his conversation-driven screenplay style to next level while Fincher ups his game to meet him. Their decision to show all the alleged three versions of events speaks volumes for their commitment. Combine this with the blending soundtrack, you have one of the best movies of all time which makes you take out your laptop and start building your own empire.

Jesse Eisenberg is adorable as the quirky nerd Mark Zuckerberg, with an unbelievable dream. He is perfectly complemented by Andrew Garfield who plays Eduardo Saverin, taking their chemistry to new heights. Justin Timberlake steals the show as the spoiled brat Sean Parker. Armie Hammer and Max Minghella also perform as required. I am a bit surprised by how many overlook Rooney Mara's performance though. In spite of having limited screentime, she manages to leave a mark.

Bottomline, it's Sorkin's child all the way. If you are looking for inspirational movies, you are at the right place.
