Was it all a ploy to get chicks? Did it all stem from deep-seeded misogyny and the objectification of women? For sure, nobility and an altruistic need to improve life as we know it played no part in the networking device's invention, but the film wisely leaves the supreme motivating force behind its creation open for debate. The director, aided immeasurably by Aaron Sorkin's brilliant script, incisively captures the college culture and social dynamics that inspire Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) to create a rudimentary version of what would eventually evolve into Facebook. On its surface, Fincher's film is an absorbing account of the rise of Facebook, and within that framework we witness the building of a mega-company, the explosion of a social phenomenon, and enough corporate maneuvering and manipulation to fill a couple of movies.

And that's what makes 'The Social Network' hit home. Very few of us may be able to relate to Mark Zuckerberg's technological skills, off-the-charts intellect, and entrepreneurial savvy, but his personal insecurities and frailties, and those of his friends and enemies, are all too familiar and identifiable to us all. Quite simply, it's a great movie - meticulously crafted, supremely executed, a pleasure to watch as well as experience. (I mean, who wouldn't be fascinated by the genesis and development of an instrument many of us use multiple times a day?) 'The Social Network,' though, is so much more than a behind-the-scenes look at the neuroses and Machiavellian machinations that transformed a simple communication tool into a multi-billion-dollar industry. Forget the Facebook angle that's just the universal hook that piques our interest. David Fincher's 'The Social Network' is that rare picture, a movie that instantly stokes our senses and worms its way into our psyches. Some movies, from their opening salvo, project a degree of elegance, intelligence, confidence, and depth that immediately sets them far apart from standard (dare I say pedestrian?) film fare.
