The contest goes viral, crashes Harvard’s computer system, earns Mark a reprimand from authorities but attracts the attention of Harvard twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (Armie Hammer and Josh Pence with the help of special effects). Okay, it’s not Facebook it’s Facemash, a stupid idea that only a genius computer hacker/scientist would dream up in which he hacks into Harvard’s computer system, downloads all photos from the “facebooks” of the university’s houses and asks students to vote on which girls are the hottest. Pissed off, Mark jogs home to get drunk, hit his computer and, to take his mind off Erica, accidentally invents Facebook. He is virtually blind to anyone else’s perspective. So the flaw is most ironic - the guy who will revolutionize the way people communicate can’t communicate himself. Indeed, she can’t even tell what the topic is.Īfter one insult too many, it’s easier for Erica to break up with Mark.

He’s talking a mile a minute with every syllable screaming egocentricity and dripping with sarcasm and defensive insecurity. The very first scene? Harvard undergrad Mark and his girlfriend, Erica (Rooney Mara), are trying to have a dinner date at a noisy Cambridge brew pub. The hook is the film’s of-the-moment topic but the payoff is its hero. Certainly, Sorkin, the film’s director, David Fincher, and its heavyweight producers have crafted a smart, insightful film that satisfies both camps.

“Social” has the potential to be that rarity - a film that gains critical laurels and award mentions yet also does killer boxoffice.
