This weekend I saw the film The Social Network. I knew a little bit about the origin of Facebook before watching the film, all I knew was that a college student named Mark Zuckerberg started the site. I felt like I learned a lot more about the origin of Facebook, but I have to remember that not all of it might be entirely true. It was interesting to see what really started the idea of facebook. I don’t really want to talk much more about the actually plot of the film because I really feel people should see this film. Check out this The Social Network trailer, it’s my favorite.
I thought the performances were awesome. Surprisingly, Justin Timberlake did a fantastic job as Napster creator Sean Parker. Jesse Eisenberg’s portrayal of Mark Zuckerber made audiences hate him, yet feel a certain compassion for him. Andrew Garfield played the scorned best friend Eduardo Saverin very well. The entire time my heart when out to Eduardo. My favorite performance by far was by Armie Hammer. Hammer played both twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. Hammer was able to differentiate the two characters even though he played them both. I also found it amazing how they were able to use the same guy to play the twins because you honestly cannot tell. Technology will never cease to amaze me.

I feel like we were all way ahead of the game by reading the history of Facebook last semester in Multimodal Literacies! I remember thinking the article was incredibly interesting at the time, but I had no idea that such a huge movie, starring Justin Timberlake, was in the works!
ReplyDeleteI think this is the article we read: http://www.rollingstone.com/culture/news/17389/203822.
Oh, and one more thing... You said: "Surprisingly, Justin Timberlake did a fantastic job." OF COURSE HE DID! He's JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE!
Well, I know Justin is a good singer, but I don't really consider him an actor.
