The Social Network

Still from The Social Network

A guy loses a girl but founds a game-changing website worth billions.  And since this is a Hollywood film he still carries a flame for the girl who jilted him.

David Fincher’s account of how Facebook came into being is fast-paced, enjoyable, exciting and sometimes moving.  At a couple of points in the film someone says, ‘We don’t know what this [Facebook] is yet.’  A comment which aptly illustrates the Wild West nature of New Media.

Here is a quiz question: what do Facebook and Batman have in common?

The Social Network is a fine film.
