The Social Network

In the final scene of the film, we see Mark,sitting alone, sending a friend request to his ex-girlfriend who's the actual influence behind the idea of Facebook. And that's a befitting climax to this fantastic film.

There's a rather sarcastic yet funny saying which goes like this - a doctor's son would be a patient, a lawyer's son, a criminal, a politician's son, a corrupt, a police's son, a thief, etc. If I apply the same logic here, Mark created the Facebook,a social networking site and as per the film, there is nothing social about him!

It is said that if Facebook were to be a country, with its 500 million active users - friends in fact, then it would be the third largest country in the world after China and India! And Mark would be loneliest person in the Facebook Country! That's the story of Mark Zuckerberg.

The movie opens with a heated conversation between Mark and Erica. Mark's apparent disregard complemented by his arrogance invokes Erica to dump him and on top of that, what irks her the most is that there's not a single sign of sadness on his face. Instead, he runs to his dorm and out of anger and few drinks later, blogs about her and subsequently, develops a new rating site www.FaceMash.com for college girls based on who's hot and who's not! Pretty wicked I must say! :)

Unlike David Fincher's previous venture, 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button', a big budget, make-up marvel sci-fi drama, this has a thriller-genre feel to it.The dialogues are fast, crisp and sharp - all at the same time! That means, you need to concentrate better or come by again.

There's nothing different or off-beat about the story. It is just that the screenplay is more engaging and more lively. The other technicalities like, razor-sharp editing, awesome background score just make the movie's good points feel like the tip of an iceberg.

The over all cast of the movie is terrific where you remember even the tiniest of the characters.
I didn't know Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker (dead Napster's founder) could act. He was just natural.
Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin - Facebook's co-founder is the bleeding  heart of the film and he was really good.
Jesse Eisenberg IS Mark Zuckerberg! I haven't seen Mark Zuckerberg talking or behaving like one. Now, I have a reference. Such is his performance. Superlative with a capital S.The last time I saw such a performance was by Russel Crowe as Prof. John Nash in 'A Beautiful Mind'.

Undoubtedly, one of the best films of 2010, I would definitely watch it again.
