The Social Network

One powerful website, which has redefined privacy in this time and age has never failed to consistently sap our (not-so) precious time be it at work or at Home. It has gone beyond the point where blocking this specific website in fear of lowered productivity has become a standard IT protocol in the corporate world.

The Social Network would strike one as more of a documentary film made titilating for the silver screens than just any other ordinary geek flick.

Whatever it is or claims to be, the touch of David Fincher at the helm definitely made all the difference from the mandane storytelling of two teenagers to re-visiting the history of two sincere friends.

Jessie Eisenberg, most remembered for his many survival rules when dealing with zombies, plays the serious 'CEO' whom ceaselessly exudes that strong sense of geekly brilliance in the form of sharp wit and intelligent retorts throughout the 120 minutes.

Recognising and complimenting the founder's brilliance is Andrew Garfield who plays his best friend, soul mate and CFO.

Perhaps, some of us did actually wondered how the whole 'I'm CEO Bitch' story came to be. Or maybe, nobody really bothered asking as we are all sucked into the infinite wormhole of status updates and checking out what is new in our friends' lives to actually care about who made it possible for us to do all these things in the first place.
