{★★★★}
At first I thought it was a startup story (certainly not a "startup documentary", if it needs to be emphasized) -- after all, every young entrepreneur in the movie from Mark Zuckerberg to Eduardo Saverin to Sean Parker is rolling around in the high-tech industry It's all unique and extraordinary -- but then I thought it was more than that, so I called it "the first decade of the 21st century closest to the core of the rite of passage" -- because there is more than just being opened by the movie to see into the formation of social networks The audience behind the unfamiliar perspective, there are also ambitious but more naive. It was Mark's arrogant way of moving forward and regretting way, which collided with Eduardo's insistence on following the rules. But the former was only due to the crooked defense of the curly-haired niche when he faced someone else putting a bastard on him, while the latter was only fueled by the inexplicable jealousy of the tall young man who couldn't be honest with himself. So Sean Parker screwed up, yeah. Eduardo Saverin also screwed up, of course. But none of them are as good as Mark Zuckerberg, who has gained the most and lost the most. At the top of the piles of misunderstandings and cracks, apart from the code empire, he was left with a Facebook profile that ignored friend requests. And he will keep refreshing. It's going to get better, won't it, because it couldn't have been worse.
The genius is that there isn't a single mediocre character in The Social Network, they're out of reach and yet people want to know more. But even more genius is David Fincher's storytelling skills, where stories spanning years are broken down, extracted, and re-fused into a short two-hour movie without a mediocre minute; Fang's main perspectives are all retained, and the multi-line cross-screening is carried out, and the characters are vivid and well-organized. Jesse Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake, who contributed the best performances to the film, should also not be ignored: the latter has completely embodied his musical personality, even the frivolous playboy who devalues his words, and satirized the premise that he is a Grammy winner. A handful of beleaguered peers; while the former greatly enriches the film's subtext with countless fleeting subtle expressions - grateful? trust? anger? Unwilling? Reluctant? Wronged? See, his genius is that in the process of communicating with the audience invisibly, he always makes you feel that you have a way to know more about his character - but in fact, who really knows Mark Zuckerberg? Even if that person was his once best friend.
