It's hard to imagine any online platform having a bigger impact on modern life than Facebook did. When it appeared in 2004, it fundamentally reshaped how people interact socially and communicate, while also becoming the center of numerous disputes. Issues like unfounded beliefs, political messaging, and widespread monitoring became commonplace—a significant departure from the initial, simple “hot or not” concept. _The Social Network_ transports viewers to that pivotal evening at Harvard when a preliminary version of Facebook emerged from Mark Zuckerberg’s (Jesse Eisenberg) and Eduardo Saverin’s (Andrew Garfield) dorm room. The collaboration between director David Fincher and writer Aaron Sorkin proves exceptionally effective here. Sorkin's characteristic rapid-fire dialogue suits the film’s rhythm, contributing to a sense of smugness around Zuckerberg that makes it simple for viewers to form a negative opinion—as if developing a website that reduces people to ratings wasn't already enough reason to dislike him.
