The Social Network : by David Fincher

The Social Network , as the title suggests is about the advent of social networking revolution 

in today's digital times. The Facebook was the prime website giving the impetus to this journey.

Its the story of the evolution of Facebook and the resulting Lawsuits.

Mark Zuckerberg , a Harvard University student in the fall of 2003 , comes up with the idea of an internal web application to rate the attractiveness of University Girls after he is ditched by his girlfriend.

Facemash.com is an instant hit at the campus , but on the flip side it lands Zuckerberg into 6 months probation for violating privacy and crashing Harvard network big time!

2 Members of the Harvard rowing team , Winkelvoss bros. are impressed with Mark and propose him to build an internal social networking website to connect people.

Mark along with his buddy Saverin , comes up with idea of TheFacebook , where students will share their profiles and social info securely.

Saverin invests a 1000$ , there in starts the journey of developing 'TheFacebook' , Zuckerberg codes day in day out and it goes live one fine day!

The site expands and grows exponentially from Harvard to other schools across U.S.

The film's first half moves at break neck speed , with tongue in cheek retorts , wacky lines & smart characterization.

The second half sees through the rift between Mark and his CFO pal Saverin, when Napster co-founder Sean enters the fray.

The screenplay is just out of this world , with non-linear narration , back and forth between the federal court lawsuits and the facts from the past.

Performances :

1. Jesse Adam Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg - Unrivalled act

2. Justin Timberlake as Sean - Mean as ever

3. Andrew Garfield - A sensitive portrayal of a friend in need

David Fincher ,the director and Aaron Sorkin , the screenplay writer must be applauded for making one of the smartest films of the year..

Go watch it and post it on your wall!!!!!!
