THE SOCIAL NETWORK (2010) - ENGLISH

Oh wow, it flew again and again and again.

It is too fast to decipher on the first go, at least to understand the whole of the dialogue, but it's something you can figure out by the end. On the second viewing, I was happier as I was able to understand and the third and fourth were merrier as I could be looking at the nuances and the fifth was much better as I can now enjoy every moment of it. Wow, what a smart film this one is. It has a pace that never lets you down in screenplay. A dialogue that's sharp and witty. 

Characters that are walking straight out of real life. Of course, Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo Saverin are existing. The characterization need not to specifically fabricated or made up, they are how they are. Yes, they are humans so there are flaws which makes us give them a hand and say each one deserves a fair trial. And the whole movie in fact is about realizing who is fair and who is not, even those who are not fair as such are compensated heftily and that's an irony of the system.

So what is it that makes this watch again and again and again, simply put 2 things, one is acting and the other is editing. Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg was one the finest unemotional characters and Jesse did a great job at that, yeah he won so many awards for this portrayal. Editing should be talked about in great detail here, for every scene there is a back and forth and each time we are taken to a new time frame. Yet, it transforms very easily and I must say its as fluid as good poetry. All the appreciation of editing work to Kirk Baxter and Angus Wall. These are completely new names for me till this movie, as it is in this very film that I took a notice of their editing work.

David Fincher just clinches reality makes it look as if we are seeing the whole Facebook story being unfolded and never for a moment lets us slip away. He in all ways possible, must be credited for making out a great movie and extracting such great acting from relatively new actors. But, I am not sure if it’s pure reality, it is fictionalized to make it entertaining and David must be credited for this work to make an entertaining movie. Well, I must say he had one of the finest screenplays written and thanks for Aaron Sorkin for that.

Surely, it’s a modern day tale that is all about the Facebook, but it has themes of betrayal, friendship, envy and surely it is as good as a Shakespearean tale. This so very filled in drama that this becomes more like a suspense thriller, it’s infact like a murder mystery that does not involve any blood, but one is taking the other for a ride just to assassinate his character.

This a must watch movie for all those who are young at heart and have ambition to do something in their own lives. Yes, every success can bring us a lot of true enemies yet we should succeed anyway. A 5/5 for a perfect and well paced movie. It's a drama that thrills The last word is, it can be surely watched repeatedly.
