THE SOCIAL NETWORK

year: 2010
cast: Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake
rating: ***
The head Nazi in "Schindler's List" was given more of a sympathetic role than that of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, whose cold-hearted, frustrated delivery channels a wired, nerdy terminator robot. The movie itself weaves in and out of flashbacks and round table deliberations between Zuckerberg and three people suing him: two Harvard rich kids claiming to have inspired the site, and partner Eduardo Saverin, who helped put FB on the map. Along comes Napster founder Sean Parker (a motormouth Justin Timberlake), pushing Saverin out of the way and becoming Zuckerberg's "rock star" mentor. And melodramatic havoc ensues, always returning to the present-time deliberations: encompassing a creatively flowing film with good performances and a hip techno score, but it's too against Zuckerberg, who isn't human enough to despise, and too in favor of Saverin: feeling more like his own propaganda than a legitimate biopic.
