   The Social Network Reviewed by TheFreeStyleLife.com

   THE SOCIAL NETWORK has brought understanding to the terminology "social
   networking". Although Mark Zuckerberg deserves the credit of changing
   how the world communicates, the film has also been the best marketing
   opportunity for Facebook.

   Aaron Sorkin has done a great job of adapting the "The Accidental
   Billionaires", along with the casting of Jesse Eisenberg. Justin
   Timberlake applies his musical talents as Sean Parker or the one who
   changed the music industry with Napster.

   THE SOCIAL NETWORK deserves the nods and accolades that it will receive
   this award season.

   The Facebook story

   This guy is one of the much loved American film nerds. But he isn't
   much lovable. Quite arrogant, too clever and an absolute lousy dater.
   He's much more successful in front of the computer.

   So he creates Facebook and heads big business. Not with a little help
   from his friends, on the contrary, but with big help from this Napster
   guy.

   There's one problem here. They talk far too much and sometimes you
   almost have the feeling that you're listening to radio theatre. If it
   wasn't for this screen. Good handicraft about a very present story, but
   not really filmish.

   The Origins And Evolution Of Facebook

   As someone who is admittedly a fan of Facebook (although I'm certainly
   no addict – at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it and I'm
   going to post it as my Facebook status just so everyone knows!) – I
   have been looking forward to seeing this movie about the origins and
   early evolution of the most successful social networking site on the
   internet. It does not disappoint. It's a fast-paced (some might say
   frenetically paced in places) account of how Mark Zuckerberg became (as
   the movie notes in its closing captions) the youngest billionaire in
   the world by developing the site, and of the various relationships that
   were built and destroyed in the process.

   Jesse Eisenberg was absolutely convincing as Zuckerberg, who comes
   across in this as the stereotypical computer geek – he has a certain
   nerdy likability, but nevertheless has few social skills, few friends
   and an obsession with computer programming. Zuckerberg's basic
   personality – or at least what this movie wants us to think is his
   basic personality (I've never met the guy, so who knows if it's true) -
   is brilliantly brought out in a hilarious opening scene of Zuckerberg
   on a date with Erica. The date goes horribly wrong. Due to his social
   ineptness, Zuckerberg insults Erica without meaning to and without even
   realizing it, gets told to take a hike and then angrily goes back to
   his Harvard dorm, gets drunk and still proceeds to blog about the
   experience in terms quite insulting and embarrassing to Erica, while at
   the same time developing an immediately popular website that manages to
   insult a significant portion of the female population at Harvard. His
   work brings him to the attention of the Winklevoss brothers, who want
   to set up a social networking site for in house use at Harvard and
   enlist Zuckerberg to help them. The rest, as they say, is history, as
   Zuckerberg takes their idea and builds on it (without giving them any
   credit.)

   Zuckerberg doesn't come across well in this. He's arrogant and
   egotistical – and yet at the same time there's admittedly a certain
   admirable quality to him. He's devoted, committed and totally
   unconcerned with money. But he also comes across as easily manipulated,
   falling in with Napster founder Sean Parker (played by Justin
   Timberlake) – who comes across far worse than Zuckerberg – who helps
   him build Facebook, but at the expense of his relationship with his
   friend (perhaps his only real friend) Eduardo Savarin (Andrew
   Garfield), who had been the co-founder of "The Face Book," its only
   investor for a long time, the company's CFO and had devoted himself to
   trying to hustle advertising to generate revenue. If there's a truly
   sympathetic figure in this it's Savarin, who ends up being almost
   totally cut out of Facebook and escorted by guards out of the company's
   California offices.

   The movie revolves around a couple of legal proceedings. Zuckerberg
   (obviously after Facebook has become a mega-success) is being sued by
   both the Winklevoss brothers and Savarin, and the story unfolds as
   testimony is offered in the respective cases. It's fascinating to
   watch, and for anyone with an interest in social networking or who is
   in any way connected to others via Facebook it has to be rated as a
   must-see movie.

   Sorkins web/back

   If you have never heard of Aaron Sorkin you should seek out West Wing.
   One of the best TV shows produced … EVER. Really great writing and
   smart plot combined. I didn't know he was responsible for the script
   for that movie, before I went in, but I should have seen that coming
   (or hear it in the dialogs).

   Of course before all that, was the idea of a movie about Facebook. Or
   the "Facebook" movie as it was also called. It seemed like a joke.
   Until you heard the director attached to the project. David Fincher!
   Now why would he want to do a movie about Facebook? I can't really
   answer that, but I'm guessing he read the book, the main "character" of
   the movie wrote and he found something in it, he liked.

   Same must go for Sorkin. His fast paced dialog, might feel a bit
   distance for some. But for those who came to love it, they will really
   cherish every line spoken in the movie. If the real deal is as clever
   and eloquent as Eisenberg who is portraying him? Don't know, but it's
   not like everything is made as an ode to the Facebook Founder. And Mr.
   Timberlake might finally get recognized as a real actor, too. He's
   earned it.
