Summary: On a fall night in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication. A mere six years and 500 million friends later, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history... but for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal complications.
David Fincher conquered his Ridley Scott disease and made a movie with interesting, three dimensional characters whose fates are worth seeing. That it's a straight drama doesn't prevent Fincher from pouring on the stunning visuals, but they aren't overbearing nor do they distract from the narrative. And obviously, making a story about geeks and intellectual property theft compelling is a minor miracle itself.
It seems to derail because Zuck has little to no motivation to pushing the one guy (it was a while ago that I saw this) out of the company. Extra points for being a real story; maybe they just didn't portray it properly.
The film comes down to a mesmerizing portrait of a man who in any other age would perhaps be deemed nuts or useless, but in the Internet age has this mental agility to transform an idea into an empire.
the inaccuracies of this movie are easily justified for the sake of a good movie. the wit here is laced with venom and traveling at a hundred miles an hour, and if that's your thing, then, you'll love it. eisenberg makes a great performance and it's actually a surprisingly good movie that i expected little to no entertainment from.
it's a curious story all right, and very well written and adeptly acted, but it's more like wading through millions of lines of dialogues than watching something engaging. Fincher has obviously made the best of what can be done, but the story is just not that substantial to make this one a contender. On a side note, it makes you feel like a gigantic under achiever.
Gelungener, kurzweiliger, spannender und vor allem sehr sympathischer Film, der durch unverbrauchte Gesichter glänzt(!) und einen netten Rhythmus (sowohl erzählerisch als auch musikalisch) vorzuweisen hat. Das etwas plötzliche Ende und der damit fehlende klimax gibt Abzüge in der B-Note und ob jetzt Justin Timberlake stört oder sein Charakter einfach ein glaubhafter Penis ist, hab ich für mich noch nicht entschieden, das sind aber nur marginale Kritikpunkte.
