The Social Network

Although David Fincher's The Social Network purports to be a biographical picture, Aaron Sorkin takes several liberties in the plot. He altered a few details about real-life characters, as well as their involvement in the creation of Facebook - one of the world’s most successful social networking websites.

David Fincher returns 2 years after his fantasy melodrama The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. He directed The Social Network, inspired by the book The Accidental Billionaires, written by Ben Mezrich. The Social Network focused on the development of Facebook and its subsequent litigation. The film described how the concepts for the website came to life, what it needed to become a success, and obstacles that Mark Zuckerberg had to overcome along the way.

Jesse Eisenberg portrayed Zuckerberg. Andrew Garfield took the role of Mark's co-founder Eduardo Saverin, and Justin Timberlake played as the ex Facebook president. The Social Network earned widespread accolades from reviewers, who praise the film's directing, acting, editing, and soundtracks. It was voted one of the decade's greatest films.
