The Social Network


A surprisingly good film.  The first few mins were slightly confusing in that I didn't know it was a flashback scene, so I was wondering what was happening when it cut to the discussion scenes.  The story that was told by the film was done perfectly.  I couldn't fault the way it was told since it captured your interest straightaway and you feel like you were growing with the characters in terms of their creation of Facebook.  I really liked how they handled with the creation of the idea, then building it, watching it succeed into the huge thing that it is now.  Ignoring all the inaccuracies, the plot was captivating.  You want to find out how the co-founders ended up at odds with each other.  At first, you're on the side of Mark (the main character), but at the end of the movie, after all the things that had happened, you can't help but feel that Eduardo got the short end of the stick.  There were some good performances from the actors.  It's hard to explain, but wow, you have to see this film.
