The Social Network.

My favorite movie ever is Twilight The Social Network. I love everything about it. I feel like the casting was spot on, the acting spectacular, the score gorgeous, and I can rewatch it over and over. David Fincher is an amazing director. But I think my favorite thing about it is the script. I haven’t seen nearly enough of Aaron Sorkin’s work (this is the only thing I’ve seen, I’m open to suggestions, and I plan to see the West Wing by the end of the year) but this movie makes me want to take in everything he’s ever done.

For anyone who doesn’t know, the Social Network is based on the conception of Facebook. It received eight Academy Award nominations, won three of them, and won four Golden Globes. I feel like it deserved every single one.

I have trouble vocalizing my opinions constantly in person, but even online, having time to think and pick my words carefully, even though I first saw this movie three years ago and have watched it probably six or seven times since then, I’m still speechless. I think that says something. I can only praise it. I can only link my favorite scene to people as a clip on Youtube.

I need people to watch this movie and flip out about it as much as I do. I need someone to talk about it with me. I need someone to help me find the words so that I can finally express my pure awe about the shots and the inflections and that power brought to each scene by actors you wouldn’t expect, some having been absolute nobodies beforehand. This movie made me take Justin Timberlake seriously as an actor. This movie fueled my love for Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield, before the Spiderman craze. I need someone to be as crazy about this as me.
