Andrew Garfield invests his supporting role with enough humanity to ground the film’s moral core, while Justin Timberlake shakes off Shrek 3 as Parker’s powerful Mephistopheles. The ensemble is, without exception, exceptional. As for the cloning of Armie Hammer, it’s the kind of convincing and seamless CGI that’s so advanced you don’t even notice. This is a slick production, streamlined and evocative, deepened by Trent Raznor’s expertly pitched score – a engrossing mix of modern synth and moving piano. The visuals throughout are dynamic but pared back: simple shots mix with a sudden burst of tilt-shift, the cinematography reflecting the rapid rise of Zuckerberg’s greed and ambition. It’s an ambitious project, but directed with minimalist efficiency by David Fincher. The Social Network succeeds because it tells all of them. As Eduardo and the Winklevi trade legal blows with the egotistical entrepreneur, it becomes apparent that there are three ways to tell this story. Soon, the successful Zuckerberg is under fire from several lawyers, accused of betrayal, theft and financial foul play. His advice? Drop the “the”.īut history isn’t that straightforward. Working with best friend Eduardo Saverin (Garfield), it’s not long before The Facebook goes to Stanford and catches the eye of Napster inventor Sean Parker (Timberlake). Or maybe he steals the idea from Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss (Hammer), a couple of posh rowing twins who are familiar with the terms “money”, “lawsuit”, and “intellectual property”. Then he comes up with The Facebook, a revolutionary way to connect people across campus.
It upsets a lot of people – and spreads like wildfire. Within hours, he’s compared her to a farm animal and coded a website, FaceMash, to rate college girls. Not only has he just been dumped by Erica Albright (Mara), but he’s also been drinking. Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg (Eisenberg) is, when we meet him, not in a good place. And the way one powerful idea can transform a generation as much as it can ruin any relationship. And a group of talented young actors who understood what the film was about: them.
