Since this is an era of influencing the world without leaving home, coupled with IT technical barriers, it is not easy to make a biographical film with relatively bland materials such as "The Social Network". Therefore, I also have expectations of a flat plot atmosphere. David Fincher is worthy of a generation of famous directors, who can tell this boring story vividly through flashback editing and dramatization of the plot. Using the two lawsuits involved in facebook as clues, through the case statement to connect each step of the plot, the sharp editing makes the film not only compact, but also suspenseful, which is indeed a very funny approach.
In "The Social Network," the protagonist Mark Zuckerberg is a defiant nerd, full of thoughts, fast and mean. His ex-girlfriend said that talking to him was like a race against an elevator, which is a metaphor. The actor Jesse Eisenberg has created this image very well. The audience all agree that the founder of facebook should be him, and it is this temper. Jesse deserves an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. Of course, this is all done by the movie for entertainment, and Mark Zuckerberg is quite normal in reality, and looking at the photos does not seem like such a psychologically distorted paranoia. Other characters in the film have also been dramatized, that is, their characteristics have been sharpened, for example, Sean Parker has been portrayed as a negative image. Conflict between characters and motivations for actions are also dramatic, such as Mark promoting Facebook to stimulate his ex-girlfriend, Mark excluding Eduardo Saverin because he was jealous of him joining the Phoenix club at Harvard. The images and stories created in this way are not necessarily true, but they must be beautiful.
"The Social Network" has a huge amount of dialogue information, and Mark speaks so fast that he can't even read the subtitles in time, so he must concentrate. There are also a lot of jokes interspersed in it, all of which are of considerable quality, such as the Cannibalism chicken abuse scandal. In fact, the deepest impression this film gave me was that I was really far away from the Harvard elite. No matter the atmosphere of the school and the club, or the gap between the elite's family background and my own language, even if I could study at Harvard, it would be difficult for me to integrate.
"The Social Network" is about the Facebook that penetrates into the lives of hundreds of millions of people in today's world. As Bill Gates said in a speech at Harvard: "The next Bill Gates is among you." Indeed, Mark Zuckerberg has become a new generation of Bill Gates. In this age of internet without distance, when you finish watching this movie, you can go to Facebook to see the real Mark Zuckerberg and add him as a friend. This is probably the most impactful element of this movie.
