The story about the founding and the lawsuits of facebook. At Harvard in 2003, having been ditched by his girlfriend an angry Mark Zuckerberg creates a website called “Facemash” where students can compare how hot the students are. The site succeeds in getting a lot of traffic, upsetting a lot of sutdents and crashing Harvard’s Servers. The prank brings Zuckerburg to the attention of the Winlkevoss brothers who hire him to build a social networking site called facemash instead Zuckerburg takes the idea and builds Facebook. As you can imagine they’re not too chuffed.
A fascinating, well made film by David Fincher, really good screenplay and cinematography (particularly the scenes in Henley on Thames).
Jesse Eisenberg is really good as Zuckenburg. See one of his previous films Adventureland.
9/10
