I agree. I love the look and feel of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and much of the dark and wintery look of the film was enhanced. It saves him time and money too. Take the scene in Zodiac where the first couple are shot. There are no squibs or blood bags going off. All the splattering blood was added in post. This meant shorter set up times between shots. Fincher has a really good rep for getting quality looking films in on budget. It is why he gets to make so many studio films. It is time saving methods like I mentioned that help him do that. @@RookieN08

I always felt the last scene represented Mark finally admitting to himself that the reason he did all the things he did was all for recognition from a single girl who once jokingly teased him. He finally admitted his petty nature.

+Ms Eggy - here is my humble opinion: Erica, teasing him, brought something out in him that was already there. It just worked the way it did because he cares about her. The final scene is the inverse: the first person he can think of to start being part of a (larger than one person) social network (may it be digital or real life or both) is Erica. Not thinking I am telling you anything new here, but movie grammar needs to condense various factors/events into one single event (or person) to keep it clear and structured, boiling it down to the essential. Erica stands for many more things within Marks inner struggle and his poor way of dealing with it - until he admits the truth to himself.

This is why I see little to no redemption for Mark at the end, contrary to Jacks hypothesis. Consider too that he is not attempting any of this face to face...he is still detached from her and even the virtual her has her faced turned from him. The only thing redemptive in the end is that maybe, just maybe, mark knows how f**ked his life has now become.

I think she would probably turn down his friend request. Pretty sad to get rejected on your own site. The film suggests that he did Facesmash and then Facebook partly in order to impress Erica, but he of course knows that being successful won't impress her. He just needed to be humble and nice. That table he saw her sitting at in the middle of the film had more genuine people at it than everyone else in the film who are like groupies banking off of their successful website. Not sure if Zuckerberg the movie character learned anything by the end of the film besides success isn't everything. The fact that he asked out the apprentice lawyer and was rejected is telling that he still cannot get a girl he actually likes and can only get groupies whom he has no interest in really. Maybe the ending is about how he made a tool for friends to connect but he himself felt he didn't have any real friends by the end if it all. Well, not any that meant much to him. The ending was a bit sad because he is the youngest billionaire in the world but cannot get the girl he truly wanted.

I disagree that the Eduardo doesn't have much depth. IMO he is loyal and hardworking friend who has his own strong willed and independent mind. All the work and effort he does in the film isn't shown which in many ways speaks about his selfless character. He is the good angel of conscience and always has Mark's best interest at heart and isn't afraid to tell him when he is out of line or support him when Erica humiliates him when he tries to apologise. He is very much the strong silent type which makes the ending so brutal.

You realise he’s not saying Eduardo himself has nothing to his character it’s that the movie presents him in that way because that’s how mark percieves him, the whole movie is from marks perspective and so he only saw Eduardo as a means to help him stand out, also all the aspects of Eduardo’s character aren’t unique to him, billions of people around the world posses those attributes, for us to truly understand Eduardo we’d have to know why he possesses those qualities, what led him to be who he is, the world doesn’t just start at the start of the movie so flashbacks and backstories would help us understand why he is who he is, but fincher and sorkin decided not to do that because that’s how they wanted to tell the story, the great irony with the social network was that mark was able to create a site where hundreds of millions of people could connect around the world no matter where you are except mark himself was unable to fully connect with anyone in a meaningful way.

“I don’t think you’re an asshole. You’re just trying so hard to be one” perfect line to describe him

I see what you're seeing with that last scene, but when I saw it the first time what I saw was mark revealing how sort of shallow he really was...that losing erica wounded him and he just couldn't let that go or give her up and move on. To me the last shot is one of isolation...showing how alone he really is with all his power and resource. Showing that wealth is not about money or prestige. That some of the poorest people have all the money. But that's what I saw.

Even if these things WERE real and solid concepts, who cares? Do you really think Mark (or anyone for that matter) would trade material wealth for emotional wealth? The ability to get anything and everything you want through buying it, attract others to you like a magnet through your status, and have people from all over the world throw themselves at you and praise you?

It's a flawless film from beginning to end. I think we get more of a personality from Shawn Parker because Zucc actually respects in.

Fantastic analysis. Though I wouldn't say Zuckerberg necessarily had no affection toward Eduardo. There are a few small moments in the film that I think hint at possibly a slightly deeper relationship with Eduardo, that even Fincher mentions in the commentary. The first being on the initial upload of The Facebook, Eduardo says upon seeing his name on the site "You don't how much this will mean to my father" to which Zuckerberg responds "Sure I do". There's also the moment after Eduardo smashes Zuckerbergs laptop and is escorted from the building, Mark criticizes Sean Parker for his unnecessary taunting of Eduardo when he was clearly very distraught. Also a mention of Zuckerberg fighting against the use of the chicken story in the trial. I know these can be viewed as potentially unreliable given the vagueness of what actually happened or not or even Zuckerberg just saying or doing things for ulterior motive, but I believe if you wanted to interpret it otherwise Sorkin put in just enough there to do so. Testament to his writing really.

@akshay satish Found the wealth worshipper! While some things in the movie were clearly fictionalized, there have been plenty of studies comparing the richest among us to the rest of society, and there are some interesting finds. One is that people with income of $100,000 or more actually donate less to charity as a percentage of income than people making less than $50,000 (less than 2% vs. 4%). And, it turns out that they are far more willing to cheat at friendly competition. Behind every great fortune is a great theft. In Zuckerberg's case, it was information. For Gates, it was the software that made Windows. For Bezos, it was poor pay and working conditions. On a societal level, I don't think it's a coincidence that the number of billionaires skyrocketed at about the same time as wages started to stagnate despite increasing productivity.

Hey man, great analysis, particularly of the character arc Sorkin played with how the movie ends on an ambiguous note as to whether Mark achieves redemption or not with his first human action in the final scene. I also thought as well that Mark in the movie (and also speculated with the real life Mark and Bill Gates) had a lot of subtle traits of Aspergers/ASD, technically brilliant but lacking with human connections and social cues, the way he speaks fast and obsesses over a singular topic or idea, eventually causing his personal and business relationships to come crumbling down around him.

"Mark never really cared for or about Eduardo, he just saw him as a means for completing his goal." Not true. He cared for him, which is evidenced in Mark's anger towards Timberlakes' character when he disrespected Eduardo in the contract manipulation scene. The thing is that Mark valued Eduardo's intellectual and financial contribution to FB more so than his actual friendship. That's a clear imbalance of value, true; nevertheless, it doesn't eliminate the fact that Mark did have basic affections toward Eduardo and their friendship.

I watched this film in theaters and it was a great movie I watched. This is one of the few films that inspired me to be a film director and writer.

I hear that Erica is apparently a fake character, but in terms of the movie I didn’t really see him reaching out to her as a successful way to go about redeeming himself. Even if that is what he was going for, it’s incredibly selfish to keep reaching out to Erica after twice being told she wants absolutely nothing to do with him. He’s stuck in his past insecurity, and him sitting there refreshing the page and waiting for a response from her shows that.

As far as your analysis goes. It is really solid, but I have to disagree with two points. The first point is that every other character is underdeveloped. This may be true for a number of these characters like the twins and Sean Parker, but where you are most wrong is with Eduardo. That character I think has the most development in the whole film. Mark doesn’t really change all that much. From the beginning he is a genius, but he is also an arrogant asshole with good intentions, with some moments of likability, but he continues to be the same guy throughout. I also really disagree that the film really tries to make you like him. In my opinion, it is doing the complete opposite, whilst also telling the story through his perspective.

You don’t understand what he meant by everyone is underdeveloped, he wasn’t saying that characters like Eduardo are hollow and mean nothing, it’s mark views those characters that way, also Eduardo doesn’t really have any major character development throughout the movie at all, he remains a loyal and supportive friend for mark until he betrays him, there’s not much more exactly to him but it’s what he represents in the movie that makes him interesting, the friendship and loyalty he possess characterises him but he isn’t anything outside that because mark doesn’t view him as anything else.

I don't think Mark was a bad guy at all. He was a guy who couldn't relate to people, but deeply cared about the ppl around him. Which is why he told his lawyer not to chase the chicken story, why he looks remorseful after screwing Edwardo, and why he became so upset by Erica's reaction. Also, you may call Mark a "bad" guy but he was right at every turn. The Winklevi's idea was too simplistic, Edwardo wanted adds to early, and Sean REALLY helped the company in a major way. For everything the film portrays as a negative of Mark's character, it was a necessary evil to create his art. Without his dogged determination, Facebook would be another Myspace. Mark had the vision to see the simplistic design of the website and not give in to the OLD GUARD of advertisers and marketing men. Mark's awkwardness and (seemingly) socially awkward nature is the only kind of mind that could have created FB.

Also: creating something huge while leaving a wake of people plain and simply being wronged is not my idea of a plan.

I had a different interpretation of the ending. I saw it as the film showing how Zuckerberg, despite already being a powerful multi-millionare, was still a petty guy who didn't managed to move on (which the film showcases a couple of times with the dialogue between him and Sean at the club and with him ordering empty packages so the young intern would come up to his table and interact with him).

@akshay satish Yeah, it's not like humans like him exist or whatever. And I wouldn't call him a spoiled brat as it's lazy and dehumanizing.

Just one final note. Thanks for examining the ending as it sprung that little debate. I had not put words to my thoughts on the end before, I just had the thoughts! Wasn't Eisenberg an excellent choice for the lead? He has a sort of smart arsed attitude (not that I would begrudge him that in his business) to him in real life and that translates well to a portrayal of Zuckerberg.

The race scene with music was definitely the best scene

Great video!

Thank you!

The Social Network is #5 on my Top 5 Favorite Films of All Time.

just coming back to say that nothing has topped this movie since its release

i'm still yet to see a movie that surpasses the social network within this decade

Someone called this movie boring. I still dont know how especially when the first scene just grips you.

Let me tell you, that person did a Mark Zuckerberg to you. He/she might have got damn inspired by it and went on to create something after watching it, but on the way told others it's boring so that they won't get inspired and be a potential competitor. Haha JK. (Or may be not O_O)

Great essay. Like The Godfather, TSN will stand up 40 years from now and in a hundred years, I think it will be considered the most relevant film of the early 21st century - it is a time capsule of a moment that changed civilization, and it is absolutely gorgeous.

The best scene in the movie is hands down the Eduardo scene.

I got an ad for an Aaron Sorkin masterclass before this video

Very fitting-I put a few tags with his name, so that may manipulate it!

I don't think he _"needs_ others to fail", he just doesn't have a path to the right investors and he's an introvert, socially awkward, and (naively) follows a precarious but ultimately fortuitous path, Shawn, and at the expense of friendship & the slippery slope of intellectual property rights. It was untrue but that's the world we live in, and what confused me at first was the scene where he tells the twins he's "in", I think it was just their retelling of the account, because it's out of character for Mark right after he just realized their limited goals, exclusivity Which IMHO is where he tread on their idea, Harvard exclusivity (required email to sign up), but he had to start somewhere and I'm pretty sure he ended up paying for it anyway.

As someone who's beginning to understand personality theory i disagree with you initial assessment of Marks motivation. Saying she doesnt need to study because she goes to BU isn't an insult. He's saying your smart enough you dont have to study to succeed there. She may take it as an insult and that's how most would mean that statement but it's not how he meant it. You're projecting your own character flaws onto him and assuming a false motive because your not actually able to relate to him cause you cant. The context of the conversation is how do you distinguish yourself. He started the conversation she tried to hijack it and he didnt let her. The conversation was about distinguishing yourself when you know you're already unique. He knows shes smart and unique or she wouldn't be his girlfriend and so her getting insulted is her letting her own insecurities twist his words.

I really like the atmosphere of the movie something about it feels sophisticated the atmosphere of higher learning but I was surprised it seemed like a lot of the students at Yale were laid back and smart at the same time

Can you dissect the movie DRIVE? (2011) it has good visuals and metaphors. I think you might find it interesting.

Sebastian Pierce I'm pretty sure he did.

absolutely love this movie, best movie ever made imo

Of course, we must remember that The Social Network was never intended to be a documentary about the founding of Facebook, and the "Mark Zuckerberg" portrayed in the movie is a fictional version of the Mark Zuckerberg who founded Facebook in real life. Some scenes in the film are accurate, but many are either pure fiction or very much exaggerated. All the same, it's one hell of an excellent piece of storytelling and one of my favourite films.

Demasiado genial,justo las ideas que pense son reforzadas

Terrific analysis..

A lot of channels now doing the social network 7 years later not complating its the greatest movie (to me)

This movie is more relevant every second.

There is also lines about that mark choose fake friends,like facebook friends, over his best friend Eduardo.

my one gripe with all the comments and with most people's analysis of the movie in general is how they view sean parker as evil and dangerous. he actually contributed so much to the company and the vision and is definitely one of the main factors why facebook is so successful today (both in the movie and in real life). he rightly agreed with mark that "being cool" comes before making money. He changed the name of the company. He expanded it to two more continents. He was ambitious and constantly pushed mark and the team to do better and go farther. He booked meetings with top VCs and secured funding from Peter Thiel. Meanwhile Eduardo was in New York doing god knows what (even if he was trying to find ads, they were misaligned with the vision discussed above and were probably insignificant anyway) and finishing his degree, sitting on his 30% while Parker was making tangible impact on the company. The most he ever contributed was the $19000 which he ended up freezing anyway out of spite. He was honestly super irrational and backward-thinking. Granted Sean did some stupid things but they were nothing compared to the positive impact he made.

Which movies you have added to the clip, when you mentioned movies with the greatly developed characters besides Birdman (there was Tom Cruise too)
