Speaking of obsessions, we went to see the new movie, "The Social Network". This movie is the story of the creation of FACEBOOK. Mark Zuckerberg created FACEBOOK while a sophomore at Harvard. The movie is told by flashbacks while Zuckerberg is caught up in two lawsuits at once. The depositions frame the story. While the actors are mostly unknown, Jason Eisenburg plays Zuckerberg and Justin Timberlake plays Napster founder Sean Parker. If you are interested in Social Network types of things, you need to see this. Great acting, Great Story, Great writing, and some of it is true!
Oh yeah, the obsession part. It is about an obsessive computer genius who creates a network so that people like us can become obsessed about what our "friends" are doing this very minute and every five minutes thereafter.
Great Movie! I give it *****stars out of five. Best of the year, so far.
2010 Movie #43
