Social Network - saynomore - 10-06-2010
This movie is about the guy(s) who created facebook. Even though it's hard for me to sympathize with the problems facing a billionaire, the movie haunts me. It hit a nerve, kinda like Citizen Kane with Rosebud. There's a lot of Oscar buzz around this movie. We'll see. It has to contend with Never Let Me Go, which is the frontrunner for best picture IMHO. But at least the movie starred the new Spiderman actor, who looks like a Bizarro Peter Parker, IMHO. I recommend the movie only for Oscar fans.

P.S. Haunting, I tell ya.

I thought it was a great movie. The acting and dialogue were great, and Trent Rezners music for the movie oddly went perfect with the movie. I think it was that music and direction that gave it that erie feel(the first scene and the scene near the end with the shares stand out)
Going in I didn't think I would like it, but walking out I actually wanted to see it again, and soon. I would definitely recommend, even though it's about facebook, it makes it in a way where the actual facebook is kind of unimportant.
________After this point somewhat spoilers(I guess?)________
One of the final scenes where Eduardo finds out his shares were reduced was so erie and done so perfectly. That and the first scene where Mark is talking to his girlfriend are the two stand out scenes from the movie, the dialogue in the first scene is just flawless and I think really shows the character of Zuckerberg and how he is, which really helps set up the movie. Did I mention I walked out of this movie loving it?

I want to, but it's hard enough to get into a movie without the little one. Now my wife is freaked out about bed bugs. I'll have to rent it, I'm sure.

Once upon a time I would've already seen it, but nowadays it's a renter. I don't think it will lose much in the translation from big to small screen.

I think this is the main reason I've heard that people aren't seeing it. I think the actual facebook aspect is pointless. Honestly you could just fill it in with some buddies creating any .com and it would still be a great movie. I think it just helps the movie a little that it's kind of cool it's based off the founding of facebook.

Oh, saynomore...where are you? :confused:
Today I saw Social Network. I'm so tired! A lot of dialogues with speak fast. Everybody spoke fast with a lot of dialogues! I guess this movie has the most lines among decade.
Well, the movie was good. It's David Fincher's film, but no blood, no violence.
Jesse Eisenberg played Mark Zuckerberg, he deserve Oscar nomination. He was cool and dry like Jeremy Irons in "The Reversal of Fortune".
