finished watching The Social Network 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
Historical accuracy aside, The Social Network truly grips one with it's dramatic retelling of a real-life story.
Through and through, the film's cast showcases that these roles were meant for them. Jesse Eisenberg's depiction of Zuckerberg truly captures the socially awkward and workaholic personality of the real deal, Andrew Garfield showcases the role of a betrayed friend spectacularly right up to the film's end, Justin Timberlake being a complete and utter wildcard and party animal is something to be admired, the list goes on, even the minor roles are done impressively well (looking at you Rooney Mara!).
The comedy is well done and fits the personalities of the characters adequately, characters' internal and external struggles are given fantastic thought regardless of them being a major or minor role, a climax executed with such incredible cinematography and emotionally intense acting and dialogue that hit like a sucker punch, and the way the film comes full circle from the start to the end, subtly sending a message about how toxic social media habits relate to real life is outright genius.
My only two regrets from this film are not seeing it sooner, and relishing so avidly in a story I know to be sensationalised.
