This movie follows the story of Mark Zuckerburg and the birth of major social media and facebook. To me, the story is the most interesting aspect of this film is the story. It is thrilling and packed with information that I had never known about Mark and facebook. The cinematic elements of the film were nothing special to me, but the film did do a great job of telling the story. Justin Timberlake's performance as what is portrayed as the bad guy is well done. Overall, I give this movie 3 out of 5 stars.To me the key scene that stuck out is when Eduardo has realized that his role in the company has vanished and he approaches Mark angry. In this scene the camera is placed behind a sitting Mark facing up looking at a standing Eduardo. Eduardo's body language is easily seen to show his frustration for choosing Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake) over him. Mark does not seem very upset that he has lost one of his only friends however. That to me is the most interesting part.
This movie is set to be like a flashback as attorneys along with Eduardo and Mark are deliberating over a lawsuit. This in a way is similar to Citizen Kane, where all the scenes are flashbacks of what happened and then the plot build from there. Another film that this film is similar to is Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps. Both of these Films Have a business aspect to them which was interesting to me. Overall, I felt that there were strong performances all around in this movie.
Yeah, I liked this movie too. I think Sorkin's script worked well for the content of the film. To me, it was a story about ambition; but, if you check out some of the facts about the creation of Facebook and Zuckerberg, the movie takes a lot of liberties (which is fine, but I think some people believe the movie to be a factual biopic, which it is not).
ReplyDeleteNice job, just some more details would be good.
