This weekend I saw the social network movie and was really impressed. This movie can relate to people who may have felt disconnected from society or somewhat of a social outcast. What stood out to me was that it goes to the heart of the movie's irony - that the boy genius whose Facebook basically invented a new way to connect to people is cluelessly disconnected from everyone. "The Social Network" is one of those movies that cares more about whether something "feels" real than whether it is. Justin Timberlake made an interesting appearance, in which his character was clearly there to use the main character, Zuckerberg but the question of who uses who is still open for debate. No doubt, this movie will make people ask themselves some logical questions after seeing it. Some questions may be Who really is Mark Zuckerberg (harvard student)? More importantly, what is modern intimacy, if you can have plenty of "friends" you never met? In this day in age with digital and technological advancements, the "social network" movie will leave people with questions that will define communications for the next decade. Another strong point in the movie is that "The Social Network" is not the "The Facebook Movie". Even though the plot may lead people to believe that its about facebook, its about so much more. It's about inspiration, betrayal, the weight of human relationships, the cost of success and more. Overall, the acting was superb, the dialogue was perfect, and the cast were great. This film left me mesmerized and I definitely will be going to see it again. I give the movie an A and would recommend everyone to go see this movie.
