caramelsilverI watched the Social Network today, and I really liked it. Like really, a lot. I think it was a clever movie that showed the flaws in humans, and that relationships and friendships are fragile. I liked that it was a dialogue film. I like talking, I can't really fathom why people would complain about too much talking?
Things I liked:
- I must admit I got a kick out of watching him post to LJ.
- Armie Hammer is a beautiful man, and I could watch the rowing scenes on repeat. YUM.
- Andrew Garfield as well. Wow, such a pretty man. And so very talented. He had my attention throughout the entire movie.
- I really, really liked the fact that they used "Dovregubbens Hall*" by Edward Grieg during the rowing scene in England. One, because it really worked. Two, anything Norwegian is always awesome!
- Mark Zuckerberg is a jerk, but a jerk you can't quite hate. I also realise that the reason why you don't like him is that he's the wrong kind of jerk. Because, hey, the Winklevoss twins were jerks too, but they were charming as well. Mark was not. He was straight up, not hiding it, a jerk. Which was kind of cool. Having a main character like that.
- I did not like Sean Parker, but Justin Timberlake was really good at playing him.
- The ending was so sad, but Beatles "Baby you're a rich man" playing during the credits kind of made up for it.
- It's really weird to think that this didn't happen all that long ago. That this is bloody FACEBOOK! I use that everyday!
* I'm not sure what that piece is called in English... let me check (I HAZ GOOGLEFU!): In the Hall of the Mountain King. Wow, that's beautiful. I'm putting that away for possible later use. What an awesome Narnia fic title that could be!
A really cool movie, people. It made me think at least. And really, it's not really a film about Facebook, but more a film about people. And that's what makes it awesome.

So, basically seconding everything you said
on 2010-10-30 11:33 pm (UTC)It was Justin Timberlake...so that's why he seemed so familiar! I just couldn't figure out why while watching:).
I laughed when he kept posting to LJ, it gave me a kick too:)
no subject
on 2010-10-31 04:58 am (UTC)The characterizations in this were all so amazing - it's one of those films I see that makes me want to go home and write PEOPLE, because there are so many sides to every single living person. And the flaws! And, and, and...
Also, I loved this movie because of the RELEVANCE. Not only because I use facebook, but also because I've always thought I'd go into marketing, and lately I've been super interested in marketing online and through social media, and facebook is social media... therefore, relevance. Relevance makes Winged incredibly happy.
And yes, LJ was super excellent to see there. ;)
This is definitely a movie I would see again once it comes out to dvd, quite possibly more than once.
