The power of good writing- THE SOCIAL NETWORK
This scene captures perfectly the absolute strength of The Social Network. More than Fincher, this film is Aaron Sorkin’s triumph. The words, the language… and Eisenberg’s rendition of those acerbic lines… you’ll see what I mean when you see this scene.

Yeah I agree this movie is the writer’s triumph but Fincher has really given the film great style. This is one film where flash doesn’t stick out.

True… didn’t mean to take anything away from Fincher. But Fincher has had better days than this (Zodiac is more a director’s film I believe), while Sorkin just owns this film through and through. I’m also kinda bummed that Timberlake is garnering attention, when it should be Eisenberg who should be getting all the traction here.
In any case, I await the Indian releases of 127 Hours and The King’s Speech.

I’d easily take even Garfield’s performance over Timberlake’s. But yeah, this is Eisenberg’s movie all the way.

True… and apart from Garfield, let’s not forget Armie Hammer as the Winklevoss twins… he’s playing a double role but not in the conventional sense. What i mean is in double roles, you always play two extremes… but he’s playing twins, who’re kinda similar, and yet he makes them uniquely different.

Oh yes, he’s terrific in this. That “pair” was one of the best things about the film.

I haven’t read the book this is based on, so I’m not sure how close it adheres to it, but I do wonder if some of these dialogs emerged from the text.
Agree that the best thing that Fincher does with this film (other than lend it his thoughtful visual gifts) is get out of the script’s way.
