Seven Readers !!...
Aaron Sorkin is a genius. Only way to explain his ability to write a script is really perfect as that of The Social Network. In fact, I think that watching this film you have to agree with Guillermo Arriaga when competing for the authorship of a film is shared between producer and scriptwriter for although the talent its director David Fincher is undeniable, the film would not be so remarkable without the tremendous ability of Sorkin to write audiovisual works that become transcendent. That was when he made the script for The West Wing or extraordinary Studio 60 at the Sunset Strip , and whether made in this work Sorkin reflections on historical moments in the United States with global impact, as it now the phenomenon known as Facebook , but above all those little moments that happen within the small group of people who were involved in the process of creating a cyber phenomenon whose dimensions are still unable (or perhaps able) dimensions.
Sorkin's script is a real lesson in how to write a movie. Is well delineated characters, caught in a seemingly ordinary situation gradually come out of their control to become a millionaire struggle. These characters move through a series of encounters and situations which are essential to understand the process of creating a global phenomenon.
That is the key to the film. Anyone who thinks that this is a film that will show the implications of having an account on Facebook, think again. Facebook is not the subject of the film, which is the group of people gave rise to the network, what are the situations that had to go through and why they had to make certain decisions. Is clear is that the film makes no moral judgments on those decisions and what they imply for the use of Social Network. Finally, the important thing for Sorkin's film - Fincher, is that loss of control that is unleashed in the lives of those involved in the process of creating Facebook. Process that plays an important role Mark Zuckerberg.
Zuckenberg ( Jesse Eisenberg) is presented as an individual lacking in social skills, product perhaps of genius hidden in inside, ie Zuckenberg seems to be aware that the world simply is not ready for his mind to his genius and that makes him an isolated and without the necessary tools to break this isolation. Does not act with malice, it does so with a carefree naivete. Betrays no conscience, but betrayals are products of the same disability. The Zuckenberg of The Social Network seems to be an amoral type, but in the background is the enormous need someone to love and be loved. That is what motivates him to create a network that people can relate to the only way he knows how: through his creative genius and his ability to move on the internet.
And in the tide dragged out of control all around him: his friend Eduardo Saverin (a superb Andrew Garfield), twins Winklevoss ( Andrew Hammer ) and who crosses his path. Be lost completely in a web of complicity and betrayal and he will because in his little world of betrayal has no place in moral terms, their own emotional disability will not let you see where an act of this nature occurs, only when this recognition will is in the midst of two lawsuits millionaire: one the one made by the Winklevoss, which produces tremendous laziness (we know intellectually superior to the brothers) and the other made by Saverin that if it ends up affect you emotionally.
The Social Network is a perfectly structured film. The Flashback becomes an important narrative strategy that suits explanatory fees for which it was created. One understands the motives of the characters to look at these regressions over time. Important point is the musical score Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross that works perfectly to accentuate or counterpoint to the sequences of the film and that at times turns into a dark, complex, creating in the viewer the feeling of loss that are gradually seeing the film's protagonists involved.
Perhaps many would view Social Network The only one movie about the process that led to the creation of the worldwide phenomenon known as Facebook. Well, that's a superficial reading of the film. At bottom, this is a film that tells the story of human beings who have apparently come to success thanks to the economic development of an idea, but are in a constant quest to meet the social standards that are supposed to suck (more than if they are students of the exclusive Harvard ) while trying to find things that while apparently not as important, if they are within each human beings, friendship and love.
an achievement ...
