The Social Network

Ratings: 7.5/10

Film Class: B-

Genre: Drama

"You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies"... A truly apt tagline for a movie all about the creators of Facebook, the contraversies which arose and which led to the groundbreaking success of the social network.

It's not a blockbuster movie for sure... it lacks action, suspense, cinematography and "grandeur". No awesomeness in this film, just a whole ton of intellectually witty dialogue with a handful of occasional humor. The cast delivered an outstanding performance and the screen was filled with many eye-candies (with the exception of Mark Zuckerberg). What I liked about the movie was its seemingly realistic portrayal of the harshness of entrepreneurship. I'm sure many great ideas have been stolen and claimed as their own but I still believe it takes that one person to really make it happen. Without Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook wouldn't be what it is today... and each and everyone in his life played a major role to his epic contribution to the cyber world.

I loved the ending, and the irony behind the last scene. The movie left several open-ended questions which I thought enhanced the "depth" of the storyline. How much of it is true, I wouldn't know, but one thing I'm sure of is that Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook with his 2 bare hands.
