The Social Network (2010) starring Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake. Directed by David Fincher. This film tells the story of Facebook and its founder, Mark Zuckerberg (Eisenberg). Since Facebook is now a multibillion-dollar enterprise, there were, not surprisingly, several lawsuits around who invented it and who should get a share of it. As presented in the movie, Zuckerberg didn't come up with the original idea himself. Also, he's a jerk, especially to his girlfriend, who breaks up with him early on. Timberlake is a standout as Sean Parker, founder of Napster, who became involved with Facebook. Garfield plays Eduardo Saverin, an early partner in Facebook who later got muscled out and sued Zuckerberg. "The Social Network" has been nominated for several Oscars, including Best Picture. The subtitles are very good. Grade: A-
