The Social Network

The Social Network has officially been added to my top movies list. Not only was this movie interesting but the dynamics and portrayal of the story made it worth the while. Hand off to David Fincher for making the social network,a movie based of uncovering the events that led to the rise of 20th Centuary biggest social phenomna - Facebook. The movie goes in reverse and it is an insight on the life of Mark Zackerburg(creater of facebook) played by Jesse Eisenberg , how he created facebook and then the major lawsuits that followed. One against former friend and Facebook co-founder  (Andrew Garfield) and the other against a trio of Harvard University students who claimed he stole the idea for the site from them.It is based on the book The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal by Ben Mezerich.
Zackerburg was a lonely and narccistic sophomore at Harvard University. A recent breakup leads him to start an insulting website called facesmash, basically aimed to get revenge on his ex. The website gets a lot of attention specifically the attention of two brothers, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (both played by Armie Hammer) and their partner Divya Narendra (played by Max Minghella). These three were in search of a genius like Zackerburg, to write the code for website which was to serve as a social network fore students of Harvard. Mark accepts their offer and promises to start working on it, however Mark gets distracted by the idea of creating a large social network that came to be known as TheFacebook. The movie shows how Mark gets inspired by his surroundings and incorporates different features of Facebook. He involves his best friend  Eduardo Saverin as the financier and manager of this operation. As the website hits popularity, alot of conflicts rise between Eduardo and Mark, especially after involving Sean Parker, the founder of Napster (played by Justin Timberlake) in operations of Facebook. The winklevoss's are also furious because they believe Mark stole their idea and so Zukerburg is faced with two law suits. 
The story is brilliantly told and its a must watch movie.
