The Social Network - Wogma Readers Reviews

The Social Network

wogma rating: Buy the DVD already (?)
quick review: Facebook. That's all the motivation one needs to go and watch this movie. It is the story about the founders of Facebook. And I say 'founders' because it is as much the story of Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield) as it is of Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg). It is the story of how money and success changes the equation between the people behind Facebook. The tagline of the movie couldn't have been more accurate - You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies. We've seen it with Bill Gates and now, we've seen it with Zuckerberg. You can't achieve so much without stepping onto some stones. And Mark sure stepped on plenty. So this movie is about heartbreak, friendship, greed, betrayal, success and of course, Facebook.

Rahul:

I watched this movie last night and I must say that I loved it. It moves along at a fast pace, respecting the intelligence of the viewer as events roll along at a fast place. The fast geek talk is actually enjoyable (to me), interspersed as it is with technically accurate terms.

The dialogues are witty and fun. I would say it is a must watch.

Like Movies:

I just don't know if I trust everything I saw.

w2:

This review was very under-par. No analysis of the high points, or of the performances. There was so much unsaid in the movie, and this review covers none of that.

Aniket Thakkar:

@Rahul: Yes, the dialogues were surely the high point of the movie. And I too loved that they managed to keep the technology part right, in the movie. Right down to the part where Mark is always seen using his Vaio and working on a terminal screen.

@Like Movies: The people who have been working for Facebook from the start are also defending Mark, that though he did make some tough calls that others might not approve, he is nothing like the guy they have portrayed him to be. Mark went on to say as much on his comment on the movie that, apart from the kind of clothes he wears they have portrayed nothing the way it is. And I for one believe after every war, the winner has the right to tell the story. But it still, made up for a good movie though.

@W2: I'm sorry to have disappointed you. To me the high points of the movie were the screenplay and the performance of Justin Timberlake as Shaun Parker, which I did mention in the review.

Now, I would have loved to get in details, like the story behind the scene when Shaun asks Mark to go to that meeting in bathrobe. And how they managed to keep the details like the sign of "Use of fireplace, prohibited". But getting into it would give the movie away - which is so against, what WOGMA stands for. So I chose to walk around those corners, and apologize if that resulted in your disappointment.

Nikunj Modh:
