I can’t tell you if the movie has any deep meaning or not, but I can say it is really, really watchable.
The pre-title breakup sequence, in which Aaron Sorkin, Jesse Eisenberg and Rooney Mara are firing on all cylinders, may be the best individual scene I’ve seen in a movie all year.
I don’t, ultimately, know what this movie wants me to think of Zuckerberg, specifically with regard to his relationship with Eduardo. I mean – keeping him aboard may not have been the right decision. Maybe Facebook wouldn’t be what it is today if they’d stayed on the East Coast. I also think the movie missed some opportunities to discuss WHY Facebook is so important.
Anyway, I’m hardly an insider on these matters, nor do I care to be. This is just a good, juicy film, well played, well shot and with good, quotable lines. I like it a lot.
