When we first see Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg), as portrayed in David Fincher’s The Social Network, he is talking relentlessly, obsessing over how to gain entrance to Harvard’s exclusive 'final clubs’ for off-campus socialising, and pompously assuring his girlfriend Erica (Rooney Mara) that he’ll introduce her – a mere Boston University student - to people she’d never otherwise meet. Moments later, she dumps him.
Before Zuckerberg even invents Facebook, then, its key elements are writ large: the preoccupation with social hierarchies, the yearning to crack open new circles of friends and contacts, and the brutal swiftness with which youth snaps its bonds in two.
When watching the opening of the film i found it boring and i couldnt catch on with what was going on. If i had more patiance then i may of got into the film as it went on.
