In una sera d'autunno del 2003, lo studente di Harvard Mark Zuckerberg, un genio dell'informatica, navigando tra blog e linguaggi di programmazione, crea quella che diventerà una rete sociale globale che rivoluzionerà la comunicazione. In soli sei anni si troverà ad essere il più giovane miliardario della storia... ma per lui il successo porterà anche complicazioni sia personali, sia legali.

4.0 out of 5 stars An intelligent take on a type of person 22 Mar 2012
Format:DVD
Reading through some of the reviews that slate the film, I was left wondering whether people knew anything at all or read any review before writing their reviews. To me they seem to miss the point. This is not a guns and explosions thriller with CGI scenes all over it. It is actually an intelligent exploration of how someone who is highly intelligent and gifted in one sphere of life (programming), can be border line stupid in another (social skills and interacting with people). It is obvious at times that this is derived from a stage play and that some scenes are completely invented to link scenes or add what the director feels is necessary extra detail. Often they are not. To my mind the film is at its strongest when keeping the scale small and focusing on the interplay between the Zuckerberg "character" and others - which of course is what the play does. Criticisms about characters talking too quickly are again missing the point. Highly intelligent people will often seem to race ahead in their conversations, especially those who are gifted in computing and maths - as the two central players here are. They are also both young people, who again will often seem to gabble away when talking.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Like" Button 17 Oct 2010
Format:DVD
Like many people, I was actively resistant to the idea of watching a movie telling the story of Facebook. Smarmy frat-house brats high-fiving as they hunch around a computer screen with a few "brewskis" - becoming billionaires en route - sounded like a recipe for the most teeth-grindingly awful movie ever: Porky's for Dorks, if you will. I went reluctantly.

Thank God I did though. I should have had more faith in David Fincher - he's a smart enough film maker to realise that this movie would only ever work if it focused on the genuinely extraordinary, which in this case means the birth of a new way of interacting, and the personalities that brought it into existence. This would be more than enough material to make an interesting film, but Aaron (West Wing) Sorkin's script also brings in issues of class, the generational divide, intelligence, money and the new economy. What results is a riveting, fast-paced film about the excitement of new ideas, the intoxicating rush of the succesful dot com, and the almighty high of billions of dollars, all channelled through something which all of us are familiar with and can relate to. Nothing less, then, than that rarest of beasts, a film which successfully addresses The Times In Which We Live.

The film's (already famous) opening scene shows Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) being dumped by his girlfriend, and from this we immediately learn several key things - Zuckerberg is possessed of an unapologetic, almost Asperger's-level intelligence; and he is terrible at human interaction.

3.0 out of 5 stars Brash & noisy, but unexceptional 27 Nov 2011
By Lendrick VINE™ VOICE
Format:DVD
I was sceptical when I saw that a film was being made of the Facebook story, but given the rave reviews I sat down to watch this with high expectations. I'm now a bit mystified by those awards, it's an OK film but no more than that.

Basic problem is there isn't much of a story to tell, and we mostly know how it ends up. Creating a social networking site isn't exactly abolishing slavery, so it is hard to get too excited by Zukerbergs project.

Nearest we get to dramatic tension is his falling out with co-founder Eduardo Saverin but that's never fully played out, or adequately resolved, perhaps due to the non-discloure agreements in place. The other main theme is the dispute with the Winklevoss twins, but they are portrayed unsympathetically. Consequently much of the film is a bunch of well to do kids sitting round tables with lawyers, arguing about whoes idea facebook was, not really riveting watching.

To try and liven things up we get frequent doses of loud music, sex & drugs, with a rather unpleasant sexism running through much of it. While the loud music makes some of the dialogue difficult to follow.

The central performances are good though, so overall it is quite watch-able, if insubstantial.

3.0 out of 5 stars hyperventilating style over content 19 Mar 2011
Format:DVD
The Social Network slickly captures the complex, frenzied hyperactivity of 21st Century media mania and the sad pyrrhic triumphs of the web, this film exaggerates and misleads the audiences about key facts surrounding Facebook. Many poignant details turn out to be fictional, eg the opening rejection by the girlfriend; the characters are over caricatured, and the dialogue over glamorized with witty, gunfire repartee that simply doesn't occur in the focused backrooms of web development. This is a great made-for-TV movie and as time will tell, but for heavy PR, it was really never worthy of it's Oscars.

By Red on Black TOP 50 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Blu-ray
The concept didn't sound that appealing if truth be told. A bunch of anally obsessed aspring Harvard final club boys in a completely male-centric environment playing around with HTML, computer code and all sorts of internet website mysterie. All of which then degenerates in a maelstrom of bitter litigation and lawsuits despite the fact that none cared about money and intellectual property? Furthermore it points to yet another example that the internet has the ability to spread ideas to a frenzied peak like no other invention in history giving massive exposure to those guys who were once the great underachievers in the American university system previously obsessed with jocks, sport and wealth. The film the "Social Network" is nevertheless a complete triumph and the pairing of director David Fincher (Fight Club) and the West Wing's wonderful screenwriter Aaron Sorkin takes this drama out of the dorm and on to the big screen with an assuredness that makes easily it one of 2010's best films.

The plot revolves around Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) and the other Harvard University students who were the brainchild's of "The Facebook" the social networking website now claiming nearly half a billion members. Zuckerberg narcissistic portrayal by Eisenberg is superb and has the word Oscar stamped all over it. He captures all the arrogance, autism, ambition and alienation which led this genius programmer to start by crashing Harvard's entire IT system to eventually constructing the ubiquitous Facebook created according to the film as an angry response to being dumped by a girl.
