The film is a true life depiction of Mark Zuckerberg and all the trials and tribulations he faces in inventing FACEBOOK, the most happening social network the world has ever known. It all starts off as a way of getting back at his 'just broken up' girl friend. Mark, being the genius coder that he is, develops an application called facemash that can be used to compare the hotness of all the girls in the nearby colleges. Mark earns a lot of wrath and notoriety.
The Winklevoss twins and Divya Narendra are impressed by his genius and approach him with an idea for a social networking site called Harvard Connection. Mark accepts the offer, takes up the idea, innovates and invents Facebook. All along, he keeps a mysterious silence and the trio is suspicious of Mark's intentions. When they come to know of Facebook, they throw a case against Mark for intellectual property theft.
Mark's close friend Eduardo Saverin who stood by Mark whenever he needed money for his servers is slowly neglected after the arrival of Sean Parker into the picture. Sean interferes in the business end of the company which pisses off Eduardo. Finally, Eduardo is totally thrown out of Facebook after some legal complications regarding new shares and Eduardo also throws a case against Mark.
The film details both the case hearings in a non-linear fashion and how it finally concludes with Mark paying off all the parties to keep his dream afloat.
Hits
- Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg fits the part perfectly. He looks nerdy and his dialogue fluency is baffling.
- Good supporting roles by all the actors be it Justin Timberlake as Sean or Andrew Garfield as Eduardo
- Apt BGM score. Silence and some knock out sound tracks add value to all the scenes. Goose bumps stuff
- Brilliant dialogs full of intellect and wit
- Fully engaging screenplay. Jet fast and never a dull moment
VERDICT
Classic conversational cinema. MUST WATCH for all the Internet/Cinema maniacs out there.
