Not just a fad, a lifestyle

Originally named "The Facebook"

"The Social Network",this years  box office smash hit, luring audiences of all types, and creating an enormous amount of attention. I had the luxury of witnessing this movie a couple days ago, and I would love to give my opinion on this great flick. "The Social Network" is a walk through, through the life of Mark Zucherberg (Jesse Eisenberg) the creator of Facebook and his path to fame and 500 million friends. Mark starts of the film being a victim to a breaking then running straight for one of his only friends, his computer to blog and make a website that would cause Harvard's Network to crash gaining the attention of the Winklevoss twins, Cameron and Tyler (both played by Armie Hammer with additional shots using Josh Pence as a stand in). They bring in the idea of The Harvard Connection and the movie takes off.

The movie is composed of flashbacks during 2 court hearings. One with  Eduardo Saverin (played by Andrew Garfield) and there with the Winklevoss twins and their partner Divya Narendra (played by Max Minghella). The movie starts to take off when the Winklevoss' are brought to the attention of The facebook and how their idea had been stolen. TheFacebook continues to grow, and within less than a year the site has gained over 150,000 members and is available on several college campuses, including Stanford, where Sean Parker, the founder of Napster (played by Justin Timberlake), discovers the site and arranges a sitdown taking interest in the concept. Eduardo, takes no liking to Sean and this is where Eduardo and Mark slowly start deteriorating as friends due to different interests for the company. The movie plays off these events and leads to a very interesting plot that will keep your attention throughout the whole one hour and twenty one minutes.

Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg

I have absolutely nothing to say about this cast as it was done phenomenally. I really enjoyed how aside from Justin Timberlake, the main characters were not big name actors as it gave a more `real` feel to the movie. Jesse Eisenberg playing Mark Zuckerberg was played exceedingly well as he portrayed the character lifelike and a real on the fence sort of character. During the entire movie Mark Zucherberg was a complete ass hole to his friends and to the people who cared about him, making it hard to make him your favorite character yet watching him and how people kept ripping at him almost made you feel sympathy for him.  

Justin Timberlake was a big surprise for me as me played his role extravagantly portraying the character as a Villain yet Hero. It was hard to root for him as he was all over the place, gaining your trust then throwing it away. Justin being the only big time actor, gave the movie a `real`sort of feel yet adding a tiny hint of the celebrity side of the story, which made the story a bit more believable. Eduardo is a the honorable loving character who you can`t help to cheer for. His innocence and true love for the website make you fall in-love with him. Most of the plot is based around the friendship of mark and Eduardo and the true meaning of friendship and how important a friend is to you. 


I really enjoyed the movie as a whole, but for me the introduction of each character were the some one the best scenes of  the movie. 

The Scene above is the first time we see Sean in the movie and he is introduced as a funny yet smart man. One of the best scenes in the movie.

What I took out of this movie the most, is the power of friendship and how fame and fortune can deteriorate those friendships that you care about most. Money is evil and will make people do stupid things. It makes you blind, deprives you of what you once know and influences you to a whole new you, in most cases an ass-hole. People don`t get to where they are by being nice. Oprah Winfrey on T.V. is a nice caring lady who helps people who cannot help themselves, yet behind the scene is a complete bitch and this is how they portrayed Mark in this movie which I believe may be a bit misleading and unfair to Mark Zuckerberg. 

Honestly i believe if you are over the age of 12, you`ll have a great time watching this movie. Yet not all true, the movie gives you a good idea of the struggles one was forced to go through to make the worlds most visited website in the world. I would recommend anyone to go and watch is for after watching if you will see Facebook in a whole new light and will appreciate it that much more. The movie only gives off a bit of toilet talk and some use of drugs which i feel PG-13 is suitable. At the age of 13 i believe you are mature enough to at least watch this movie for not every kid is going to mimic the actors and do drugs. Overall no major complaints on this movie, the only minuscule thing i can rip about it how much of an ass-hole they made Mark Zuckerberg look like as i feel like that may not be a fair representative of himself. Yet aside from that, a great flick and in my opinion could easily go for movie of the year. A must see movie.
