(I plan to divide the future long film reviews into two categories, one will be based on scripts, and the other will be based on audio-visual. Let’s start with one today and try it out.)
I don’t like David Fincher’s style very much. It is true that he can produce excellent works horizontally and steadily, but the precision of the image he pursues makes me, a talented half-hearted movie fan, really hard to love. This is why I am one At the beginning, only Samsung was given to this film. However, there is one thing to say that the script of his movie has always been appropriate at the textbook level. The ingenious structure and narrative advancement are really admirable. More importantly, there is no bias, that is, too artistic or formative. . The script of "Social Network" is a good example (and I also understand why Bong Joon-ho likes this film, they are surprisingly consistent in their pursuit of dialogue)
The first point lies in the structure. In my opinion, the multi-line narrative used in this film is actually not purely for the so-called sense of suspense, but more of an attitude interview. This is of course a very biographical method of operation. But because it is connected with the narrative, the whole story is more compact (relatively speaking, after all, Vinci also filmed the "Zodiac" in the 70s. The interview of the lawsuit also has a sense of prying, which made the founding of FB While this main line is advancing, the narrative content is enriched, which makes people hooked. And compared with other biographical films, it is difficult to overcome the psychological changes and time advancement of the characters. All the contradictions that can be stated clearly in the main incidents are just right and rich here in the lawsuit, especially Edward and Zack. Love and kill the scene, the adjustment is quite good.
The second point is smoothness. At each point in time, a character similar to the game boos is actually set up for the protagonist to face, but it is not necessarily defeated, but "complete", with a girl in the beginning, and in the middle Set up the hapless twin brothers, and later set Eduardo and Sean as the boos for clearance. Wait, you may think I’m not right, but it’s also true. The most amazing thing about "Social Network" is that the real big boos is the protagonist Zach himself. No matter when the director comes to adjust the actors later, it is undeniable to let this The character is fuller in behavior, but this is the fact. In this way, a mission of the film is achieved, which is to tell the protagonist’s step-by-step success as smoothly as possible. This is a step that a biopic of successful people must take, and apart from this, it is even more amazing. That is the third point-
The hidden blackness of the plot, one thing we can find, the beginning and the end are related to Zac and the cafe girl, and unexpectedly discovered that after Zac’s hidden struggle, there is no change, which one still wins with perversion. Desperate bastard. Think about it carefully, other people, more or less, have a human factor other than the desire to win. Girls have self-esteem, twins have ridiculous class pride. Although Sean is also a pure bastard, he also has Ordinary humans have lustful vices, not to mention the poorest and most loyal Edward. This is also the highlight of a person depicted in the script. The scene of being entrapped by a friend while walking his path of success step by step is true. It’s chilling, but after Sean’s stumbling, the film is sublimated to a level (or even darker). The society in the context of this film has a wildness that is perverted to fear, only with People with a pure hunter mentality (that is, Zach who shows off and proves his intelligence from time to time in the film) can get the most. In the end, the sound of the computer's keyboard, just like the sound of a rifle, made the audience raise the feathers of the hunted.
Of course, as said, the audiovisual language of this film, the cold scenes of the Vinci style that are too emphasized, the front and back fights, and the technique of "hands when you are nervous!" His image is greatly discounted, maybe another director, this film will make me more like it. However, some scenes are still good. The indoor scene at 77 minutes was quite pissy, and the thief who was given the following trend was properly handled. This is an information jungle of assholes, isn't it?
