This movie is a MUST SEE for anyone on Facebook, or anyone using any type of social networking...which today is just about everyone, thanks to people like Mark Zuckerberg.
This is the story of a nerd who made it big. In a huge way, kinda like Bill Gates. Mark Zuckerberg, along with his former best friend Eduardo Saverin, are the founders of Facebook. Is it ironic that a socially inept ubergeek creates one of the biggest social networking mediums in the world? Absolutely. Facebook is now so big it has it's own verb.
This movie is extremely well done. The script is sharp, the acting impeccable, and the storyline engaging. Jesse Eisenberg does a phenomenal job portraying the socially inept Zuckerberg. I absolutely fell in love with Andrew Garfield as his best friend Saverin. Kudos must go to the immensely talented Justin Timberlake who, without singing one word, was mesmerizing as Sean Parker, the creator of Napster and first president of Facebook.
Allowing for what I call “Hollywoodification”, it is a very interesting and compelling story of how Facebook was started and what happens when people ultimately choose between money, power, and friendships.
This is a movie I would pay full price to see again and again.
It's that good.
