After the explosive response to online socializing, “The Social Network” comes to theaters with the objective of providing viewers with the story behind the birth of Facebook.

Mark Zuckerberg, played brilliantly by Jessie Eisenberg, is a Harvard student who gets frustrated after a bad breakup with a girlfriend. As a personal vendetta against his ex, Zuckerberg decides to create a website where one can rate the hotness of every girl on campus.

This so-called ‘Face Smash’ shuts down the entire campus computer system and gains the attention of the student body. Two particular students that take interest in the concept are twin brothers from whom Zuckerberg eventually steals the overall concept of Facebook. Zuckerberg then takes this idea to his best friend and Napster creator Sean Parker, played by Justin Timberlake, and thus, Facebook is born.

The film is helmed by a writer and director dream-team. David Fincher, the director of “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” directs a very engaging story using his infamous cinematography and beautiful story-telling ways.

However, what makes this film really stand out is the dialogue written by the brilliant Aaron Sorkin. Sorkin, the writer of “The West Wing,” has written a great script. His fast dialogue and smart wit is ideal for this sort of movie.

The script seemingly imitates life as the characters Parker and Zuckerberg are not the nicest guys, a probable reflection of their real life counterparts. Ironically, the movie focuses on how these guys start a website about finding friends and discovering what your friends are doing, only to lose many of the friends they had by starting the company.

This is easily one of the best films of the year because it’s a story that is entirely relevant to our generation. It is an unusual story about how one simple idea can turn someone into the youngest billionaire in the world.

Regardless if you’re someone who is completely against Facebook, still give this movie a shot because you might see the reality of what a person has to sacrifice to keep their business alive.
