Movie Review: Facebook

I saw Social network earlier this week. I saw it at one of the cheapo theatres and it was worth seeing at the regular theatre. No big name actors in the movie and that is probably what made it great. The cast all seemed to nail their roles and the writing was awesome. I am not sure how much of the movie follows the historical account of facebook (aka the real story of facebook) & all it’s characters but it was a wonderful story and very well told. Most of it was done in court rooms which was odd at first but the movie moves very fast and covers so much ground it seemed to fit the mood of the movie well. Aside from programmers, business man, and college kids this movie took on many themes such as friendship, identity, college life, independence, ethics, business deals, politics and what is fun/cool. I probably would not watch it again or own it but Facebook is well done. I was not expecting it to have much of a plot or decent story telling so it really surprised me as everything was done well in this movie. It is definately worthy of the golden globe nods it received.
