Hehe, Lizard Man, hehe.
I usually agree with most of Letterboxd's average ratings to some extent, but this only has a 4/5 is very strange because this movie is flawless. Every aspect of this movie works really well. The script is very smart and engaging, A movie about doesn't sound too interesting, but the way it's written and all of the tension felt in the story makes it the complete opposite. What helps is that The dialogue is really clever and intriguing. The performances from everyone are top-notch. Jesse Eisenberg is perfect at bringing Mark Zuckerburg's timid yet terrifyingly brilliant nature, Justin Timberlake does a really good job, and Andrew Garfield is probably the standout. His performance is very likable but also sad because the only decent person in the movie gets completely screwed in the end. The pacing is unbelievably good. This movie doesn't get any bit dull just for a second, every scene is…
I think this will be in the small handful of movies people will still watch in 100 years to understand our world.
Why is Mark Zuckerberg presented as the biggest a**hole and most insecure man ever xd.
I enjoyed it way more this time. The score is an aspect I hadn’t appreciated as much as it deserves to be appreciated. This seems like the type of film that can only get better with age. It’s interesting how almost all character choices can be traced back to the way boys behave in relation to girls, or women. And how we want to be part of very exclusive groups. It’s just genius.
Loses one half star for Rashida Jones’ character’s scenes with dialogue. Loses an additional half star specifically for her line “I specialize in voir dire” Otherwise, a masterpiece
The Social Network • (2010) Another Fincher classic. I would place this very high in my Fincher ranking. A simple yet compelling story about the rise of Facebook—from its inception to reaching 500 million+ users and everything in between. David Fincher's gripping storytelling keeps you hooked, even with its relatively short runtime. Aaron Sorkin's sharp screenplay and Jesse Eisenberg's stellar performance as Mark Zuckerberg elevate the film, making it a tense and fascinating watch.
