the social network

The Social Network blew my mind. I thought it was fuckin' amazing. The writing was unbelievable, and Jesse Eisenberg did one hell of a job playing Mark Zuckerberg. Right now, it doesn't matter to me how much of the movie is true, and how much of the movie is false, it was amazing. I was laughing and making comments under my breath at the little technology quirks and jokes. I loved it. I even saw a little bit of the code in one of the scenes, and saw that it was PHP. I love that I knew that. Words can't even explain what I thought about this movie. The writing, directing, acting, and plot were all amazing. Eisenberg's impersonation of Zuckerberg was fantastic. His speech, diction, mannerisms, and overall personality pretty much hit it on the spot. It really makes me wonder how many great ideas are out there ready to be conceived. They took the idea of socializing and networking, and brought to one place. The idea seems so simple, so why hasn't everyone thought of it till now? That's the scary part. It took this long for a simple idea to be realized. I especially like how he hacked into the database of every dorm to get the pictures, and he called it a "piece of cake". This movie was great, and I can't wait till it comes out on DVD.
