On a fall night in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication. A mere six years and 500 million friends later, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history... but for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal complications.

My personal Opinion: This movie would have been nothing, absolutely nothing, withou the brilliant screenplay of Aaron Sorkin. His wording of every character is exquisite, especially Mark himself, who is so perfectly portrayed as an exhausting, yet brilliant student, who is very confident, but also muted. The shades of gray in this movie are so easily hidden by the perfect subtlety of every member of this movie, the brilliance is stunning. From the first scene to the last, every moment is absolutely phenomenal. A must see.
Rating: ****1/2
