Movie Review: The Social Network

Facebook, a social-networking website that can simply be defined as internet-changing, thanks to its uses which include posting pictures, videos, status updates and more, all these uses made contact between friends, family, and even enemies much easier, but how did it all start? And where did the idea come from? The Social Network is a movie that answers those questions and some other questions about Facebook that may be on people's minds, but in order for the answers to be delivered, the Social Network has to be an entertaining and deep movie.

The Social Network is a movie about Facebook, but not only Facebook, it goes into the creation of Facebook and the early legal issues faced with the company, so basically the movie had to be deep and at the same time understandable, and as a result, it was strongly understandable for most of the movie, but I felt that the movie should have been deeper.

The Social Network has a unique style, the entire movie is actually being told by Mark Zuckerburg, Eduardo Savarin, The Winklevoss Brothers, the and loyars, the movie mainly takes place in an office, where they are dealing with two legal issues, one of them with Savarin, and the other with the Winklevoss brother, each main event in the movie starts by one of those people either explaining something, or reading a paper, and to be honest that style of directing is strongly appreciated.

Another thing to love about the movie is the acting, Jessie Isenberg shows us how flexible can he be by portraying Mark Zuckerburg, Andrew Garfield did an excellent job emotionally in the role of Eduardo Savarin, Justin Timberlake was surprisingly good as Sean Parker, and Brenda Song did a strong job as a paranoid girlfriend, by playing Eduardo Savarin's girlfriend, Christy Lee.

The movie could have easily been a once in a lifetime movie, but there were a few shortcomings in the movie, such as the lack of depth in some parts, some parts being strongly exaggerated, the rushed ending, and the slow and boring start.

The Social Network was overall a very strong movie, it had a few shortcomings, but even with the shortcomings, the movie gives a strong amount of details about the rise of Facebook and some of its early legal problems in a very entertaining style.
