A Movie About Facebook?


I know what you are probably thinking. How the heck can a movie about facebook be any good. I thought the same thing. When I first saw the trailer I declared right there and then that I would not be seeing this movie in theaters or outside of theaters. Well, I lied. Although i didn't see it in theaters i just had to watch it, despite my feelings about it, when it won so many awards at both the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards. Well, I will admit here and now that I was completely wrong about the movie. The way it was done was awesome. Instead of showing how it was founded and then showing the lawsuit it showed the preceedings of the lawsuit throughout the movie. Making it so a point in the case was shown through a flashback of the characters. The acting was phenomenal. Jesse Eisenberg did amazing, along with Andrew Garfield. The script couldn't have been better and the opening scene captures the audiences attention. This movie makes it into my top five favorite movies of 2010.



Let me just say. If I had seen this movie prior to the Academy Awards I would have actually picked it to win some awards.
