Granted, some good things have developed using 'social networking' but generally it's "bad" in my opinion. The Movie: So, if I could get past that title, I might be able to watch it. Instead, I'll just absorb your review and pat myself on the back for saving two hours or so by avoiding this film.
Sep 29, 2010 · David Fincher's film has the rare quality of being not only as smart as its brilliant hero, but in the same way. It is cocksure, impatient, cold, exciting and instinctively perceptive. It hurtles through two hours of spellbinding dialogue. It makes an untellable story clear and fascinating.
Oct 5, 2014 · It’s Fincher’s most relentlessly paced film, taking the brilliantly structured script and tightening to the point of near asphyxiation. The longest number of seconds between dialogue could probably be counted on one hand, and tense is The Social Network’s natural state.

This brings us back to the comparison of The Social Network to Less Than Zero. We look at that latter film now and think how reflective it is of the excess of the 1980s. The truth is that for most people the '80s included corporate buyouts, layoffs and recession. Less Than Zero did not represent the excess of the '80s, as much as the ideaof excess ...
Facebook came along at a time before the recession really hit; a time when "the sky is the limit" was still the prevailing feeling about Internet moneymaking potential. The world had already seen the collapse of the dot-com bubble, and yet there seemed to be the pervading belief (and reality in some cases) that millions of dollars were there to be ...
If the Internet were the Wild West, then Internet ventures would be akin to gold-mining and Mark Zuckerberg would represent the exception to the gold-mining rule. The guys that actually found gold. Like Less Than Zero, The Social Networkrepresents the exception, rather than the rule. Yet it is the exception that most people choose to believe in, th...
"Entitlement" is a word we hear used a great deal. Corporate entitlement, personal entitlement, who is entitled to what and why. Much is made of what we may or may not be owed, with little thought to where it came from, or what we owe in return. There is a certain sense of entitlement inherent in the belief that everything should always get better,...
The irony is that a site that’s entire purpose is the development and maintenance of relationships was founded by those with such profoundly limited relationship skills. Zuckerberg was not necessarily wrong to move forward with his project sans what he considered “dead weight,” but there were a multitude of ways he could have handled the developmen...
For many, our basic life needs being met is no longer good enough. Some people dream of extravagance, some of being famous for fame's sake, other dream of Harvard-style clubs because “they’re exclusive, and fun, and lead to a better life.” The angst of the song “Creep” in the trailer represents this notion perfectly, lamenting: "I want a perfect bo...
In many ways, we are in a maturation process as a nation, mired in a time when we must look at our desires and see what is realistically achievable as goals within those desires. We must redefine and solidify our values. In some ways, The Social Network tells the story of a time just before we were collectively forced to confront our dangerously ir...

Oct 1, 2010 · Fincher directs with an intensity and focus that makes The Social Network tied with Se7en as the best of his movies in my opinion. Another strong point is the screenplay which is very smart and sharp, while the story making the most of this intriguing concept is constantly snappy and engaging.
