The Social Network - do get connected to it

“Bosnia. They don't have roads, but they have Facebook.”

Nobody can be more explicit than this. It tells the spread of the growing social networking phenomena over our globe and this is what appeals you to go for this movie, the title of the movie Alone. Ok! The title helps attraction to the movie but what next! Remember expectations are high here!

Story –
The story is adapted from a novel (The Accidental Billionaires) and is about the making of world’s fastest growing site FACEBOOK and its makers - Mark Zuckerberg (the youngest billionaire of world), Eduardo Saverin (his best friend), Sean Parker (Napster Co-founder) and also the makers of ConnectU (then Harvard Connection). So you get to know about everything; right from what prompted Mark Zuckerberg to open his terminal and start coding a social broadcasting concept (and if somebody is guessing the girl reason, YES, after getting ditch that is). The insane geek nerd (Mark Zuckerberg, played by Jesse Eisenberg) does this impossible coding work and makes FaceMash, whose functionality gives you the liberty to select better of the two girls (judged only by their faces). Everybody in the campus LIKE facemash and Zuckerberg reaches fame. The makers of ConnectU motivate Zuckerberg to work on their project. From there the movie is all about the story of Facebook amidst betrayal, superb non-emotional geekyness and intense storyline of the ‘The Social Network’.

Cast –
Jesse Eisenberg is just awesome. He looks, behaves like a perfect nerd. He is the ideal GEEKY NERD I have ever seen in my life (and you can trust me on this as I work in the great Indian IT sector with many flop geeks and nutty nerds all day). Eisenberg’s attitude and focus towards what he thinks makes him perfect. He makes you believe the real Mark Zuckerberg would be like this only…and when you are able to do that, you are in running for the best actor Oscar. Mark my words.

Justin Timberlake as Sean Parker seems apt. His flamboyance does the trick here. Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin is again superb but the point about ‘The Social network’ is that the movie is all about Mark Zuckerberg and revolves around him, all your admiration is therefore towards Jesse Eisenberg and nobody can deny that.
Every other aspect of the movie remains sidelined thanks to Jesse’s fabulous performance. He overshadows named like Justin Timberlake (pop singer) and David Fincher (acclaimed director) in the movie. The social network is a stand out work of one person… Jesse Eisenberg

Verdict – Like (super duper Like), Poked Jesse Eisenberg for Best Oscar and sent him a friend request…

ps: Social network is not a social movie, it’s best to watch alone. I know the suggestion sounds quite ironic…but irony is a part of reality in today’s socially connected world.
