Slan-The Social Network

Social Network had all the goods to be a entertaining film. One, it told a story and two it possessed dramatic comedy. In order for any film to be a success it must tell a story. The story of the Social Network is the brieft history of Facebook. It gives viewers the beginning of the multibillion dollar site and the turmoil that came after its creation.

The acting in the Social Network was fitting to this film. You have the right age group of actors and each one was able to fulfill their roles well. Justin Timberlake, Sean Parker, played the role well. He made the conflicts in the film rise to another level. The rising action started when his characted was introduced. He portrayed the ass hole very well. Andrew Garfield, Eduardo Saverin, did some great acting. He applied the right emotions and gave the audience the victim feeling. The key actor that made the film real excellent was Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg. I have never read much or hear much about the Facebook founder but Jesses showed me enough. If the real Zuckerberg is anything like he was portrayed, well I hope the billions he has makes him happy. Jesse's performance was stellar and no one could of pulled it off like he did. He made you love him and hate him in an all-in-one package. They make the story that a lot of people didn't know about feel like it wasn't a movie.

The way the film was set up with flashbacks and present scenes was great. The cuts were performed well and the whole film flowed smoothly. Also, the conflict was very entertaining and interesting. The story really filled in missing pieces behind Facebook.

The dramatic comedy in the film was evident in the films humor. Facebook has evolutionized the world and to learn its genesis was entertaining. This film had the right amount of seriousness and comedy to make it a great story.

Now, one of the most distinctive points of the movie was the lighting. All of the flasback scenes lighting were dark. The flashbacks probaly were dark to give the film a ominous feeling. All the flashbacks were revealing the story of Facebook and were part of the lawsuit litagations he was facing. When you shifted to the present the light became bright. The lawsuit litagations were all bright. I guess they appeared this way to signify importance and do be distinctive from the dark flashbacks. The lighting illustrated the distinction between the present and the flashbacks. Only one flashback that was bright was the Facebook headquarters when they hit one million memebers. The lighting was bright in this scene because it was a important day in Facebook history.

Overall, the film was entertaining and it was informational as well.
