Impressed, but not so impressed.

It's entertaining enough, fast-paced, narrative timelines staggered but not cluttered, autobiographical but not boring, and humorous (animal cruelty and Harvard Gentleman really make me laugh). But on the whole, it does not have the aftertaste and depth of David Fincher's other works that can't be returned for a long time.

Jesse Eisenberg did a great job, I can't think of how annoying a tech genius geek can be, he does it all: saucy (hat t + slippers), neurotic, egocentric, lack of empathy.. .... Mark in the film only made me feel disapproval of him in two scenes, one when he said to Sean Parker, "You don't need to be so rude to him (Eduardo)." I kept reorganizing Erica's FB page with a blank face. At that time, I really felt a little bit of sympathy for him, a little bit.

My fondness for The Social Network comes mainly from Eduardo Saverin, played by Andrew Garfield. Eduardo is not a genius, but to me, he is more alive and more soulful. I don't know how much the real Eduardo is different from the movie, but Andrew Garfield's performance is very penetrating, and I was impressed by the injury and anger he showed when he went to court with Mark. Eduardo can't be called noble. As the chief financial officer, the success of facebook has made him taste the sweetness (the invitation of the Phoenix Club or the women who took the initiative to send him to the door), and he did pay a lot for Mark, commercial or advertising, this kind of seemingly The vulgar things Mark looks down on, always have to be done by someone, I like the portrayal of this part, a wicked imperfect person, after all, movies or literature must not completely cover up the weakness of human nature.

On the other hand, it's okay to say I was bought by Andrew Garfield's puppy eyes, ha. There was a scene that made me particularly throbbing. Eduardo pushed open the glass door angrily after knowing that his shares had been diluted a lot, strode towards Mark and smashed his computer with force. At that moment, there was a kind of refreshment that he also let out a sigh of relief, It can be seen that I unconsciously stood from Eduardo's perspective to see the direction of the whole story, and my heart was closer to this character.

    Without him, only loneliness

    Jesse always plays this kind of megalomaniac asshole... Looking at the "Silicon Valley" character design and this one, it's still a little bit bumpy. Why is it that the bottom of the food chain is responsible for business in technology startups. . Still such a wife, loyal dog and being bullied, AG in the rain is simply a pitiful little pity!

The Social Network quotes

  • Erica Albright: You are probably going to be a very successful computer person. But you're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole.

  • Eduardo Saverin: They're saying, the Winklevoss twins are saying that you stole their idea.

    Mark Zuckerberg: I find that to be a little more than mildly annoying.

    Eduardo Saverin: Oh? Well, they find it to be intellectual property theft. Why didn't you show this to me?

    Mark Zuckerberg: [flippantly] It was addressed to me.

    Eduardo Saverin: They're saying that we stole theFaceBook from Divya Narendera and the Winklevosses.

    Mark Zuckerberg: [trying to grab the letter out of Eduardo's hands] I know what it says!

    Eduardo Saverin: Did we?

    Mark Zuckerberg: Did we what?

    Eduardo Saverin: Don't screw around with me now. Look at me!

    Mark Zuckerberg: [Mark begrudgingly looks up at him]

    Eduardo Saverin: The letter says we could face legal action.

    Mark Zuckerberg: No, it says I could face legal action.

    Eduardo Saverin: This is from a lawyer Mark, they must feel they have some grounds.

    Mark Zuckerberg: The lawyer is their father's house council!

    Eduardo Saverin: Do they have grounds?

    Mark Zuckerberg: The grounds are our thing is cool and popular and HarvardConnection is lame! Wardo, I didn't use any of their code, I promise. I didn't use anything! Look, a guy who builds a nice chair doesn't owe money to everyone who ever has built a chair, okay? They came to me with an idea, I had a better one.

    Eduardo Saverin: Why didn't you show me this letter?

    Mark Zuckerberg: I didn't think it was a big deal.

    Eduardo Saverin: [sighs before sitting down beside Mark] Okay, if there's something wrong. If there's ever anything wrong, you can tell me, I'm the guy that wants to help. This is OUR thing. Now, is there ANYTHING that you need to tell me?

    Mark Zuckerberg: [very pointedly] No.
