The Social Network

Another film I saw this week was The Social Network - the best film I have seen in quite a while. I was surprised when I heard some people saying that it looked rubbish as its an Aaron Sorkin (West Wing and Charlie Wilsons war), and David Fincher (Seven, Fight Club) film and it was only ever going to be good!

The film - a story about the founders of Facebook - is increcibly well written, incredibly well cast and incredibly well acted - as well as including some incredible cinematography. Part boardroom drama, part conspiracy thriller, the film shows the backstabbing legal row among the various nerds, geeks, brainiacs and maniacs about who gets the credit and the cash. Jesse Eisenberg is AMAZING as Mark Zuckerberg and Justin Timberlake is perfect as the smooth, and slimy Sean Parker. It's full of brilliant, witty one liners, its tense, clever, cutting and contentious. As a massive Facebook-lover, I was completely sucked into this film in everyway and even found myself slightly sympathising with the most unlikeable young billionaire of my generation.

Fu*king BRILLIANT film. You have to see it. 5 popcorns.
