The Social Network

On an autumn evening in the dorm rooms of Harvard university young undergrad and computer genius mark zuckerberg heatedly begins work on what will become a global social network and computing revolution six years and one million friends later he is the youngest billionaire on the planet this comes at he cost  of lawsuits and friends that feel deeply betrayed.David fincher is back with a vengeance this is text book film making an then some form the beginnings at Harvard everything is beautifully shot the Harvard dorms are moodily lit dark browns and amber light in contrast to the bright pastels of California and silicone valley the three male leads Andrew Garfield,(Eduardo saverin) Sean Parker(Justin timberlake) and Jesse eisenberg(mark zuckerberg) are pitch perfect casting i particularly liked timberlakes lounge lizard Sean Parker add to that a great sound track by Trent reznor and you have in my opinion one of the best if not the best film of the year so far.
