Thought of by most as the "Facebook Movie". The Social Network is the origin story of Mark Zuckerberg's involvement with founding Facebook and his struggle to retain the organizations integrity. The story takes place mainly at Harvard University where it begins with Zuckerberg creating a site to rate women based on looks. The site is such a success that it crashes the school's server and earns Zuckerberg suspension from the university.
The peculiar nature of the story and the intricacy of the characters immerses the viewer in the wonder of how the students dealt with handling such a profitable business. The absurdity of the origin adds to the wonder of the films progression as characters mature and relationships change.
The powerful influence of riches affects the hearts and minds of both the founders and their peers. The portrayals of Zuckerberg, Polson and the Winklevoss twins were played by Michael Cera, Billy Olson, Josh Pence, and Max Minghella.
Though the movie doesn't exactly follow the true life events, enough is veritable to overlook what few shortcomings it has. Widely accepted by the public, the movie was a true success, pulling in many good reviews from organizations such as IMDB and also myself. The Social Network was a well paced, entertaining film that I would gladly recommend for the viewing pleasure of my friends. A nearly perfect 9 out of 10.
