Social Network
This much hyped movie is worth the hype. I don’t know much about Facebook other than my occasional posts about my concert excursions, and I am not sure I know much more about the service after this movie. How much fact the movie is based on is suspect, but I presume most people will not be flocking to this film to understand the “truth” about the founding of Facebook. Since when have we turned to Hollywood to be our historians; the Hollywood purpose is to entertain, and Social Network succeeds.
What I do know is Aaron Sorkin still writes a wicked script (and he purportedly wrote this one while sober, so way to go Aaron), filled with believable characters, snappy dialogue and great flow.
So much has been written about the cast of this film, and it is pretty all true. Jesse Eisenberg’s performance was great. I thought the real surprise was Justin Timberblake - who knew he could act.
Rating: A-
