!! The Social Network [1] !!
[2]
They all laughed at college nerd Mark Zuckerberg, whose idea for a
social-networking site made him a billionaire. And they all laughed at
the idea of a Facebook movie-except writer Aaron Sorkin and director
David Fincher, merely two of the more extravagantly talented
filmmakers around. Sorkin and Fincher's breathless picture, _The
Social Network_, is a fast and witty creation myth about how Facebook
grew from Zuckerberg's insecure geek-at-Harvard days into a phenomenon
with 500 million users. Sorkin frames the movie around two lawsuits
aimed at the lofty but brilliant Zuckerberg (deftly played by
_Adventureland_'s Jesse Eisenberg): a claim that he stole the idea
from Ivy League classmates, and a suit by his original, now slighted,
business partner (Andrew Garfield). The movie follows a familiar
rise-and-fall pattern, with temptation in the form of a sunny
California Beelzebub (an expert Justin Timberlake as former Napster
founder Sean Parker) and an increasingly tangled legal mess.
Emphasizing the legal morass gives Sorkin and Fincher a chance to
explore how unsocial this social-networking business can be, although
the irony seems a little facile. More damagingly, the film steers away
from the prickly figure of Zuckerberg in the latter stages-and yet
Zuckerberg presents the most intriguing personality in the movie, even
if the movie takes pains to make us understand his shortcomings.
Fincher's command of pacing and his eye for the clean spaces of
Aughts-era America are bracing, and he can't resist the technical
trickery involved in turning actor Armie Hammer into privileged
Harvard twins (Hammer is letter-perfect). Even with its flaws, _The
Social Network_ is a galloping piece of entertainment, a smart ride
with smart people… who sometimes do dumb things. _-Robert Horton_
