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. From director David Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin comes The Social Network, a film that proves you don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies. The film is produced by Scott Rudin, Dana Brunetti, Michael De Luca, and Cean Chaffin and based on the book "The Accidental Billionaires" by Ben Mezrich.

Oscar performances by the casts
What I loved most: Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg
What I really hated: If only all of it is real
Who will ever know the story behind the startup of the sensational website (Facebook) that grip the world? Though I think only about 70% of the storyline is real, but nonetheless, oscar worthy performances by Jesse Eisenberg make this social network a must watch for the month. The film started off by showing Mark defending stoutly against 2 con-current lawsuits as it brings viewers behind the motivation that drives him to create Facebook in 2003. It was interesting to see him rebutting against all accusations like machine guns until even the opposition lawyers offered nothing to say in return. As his creation grows bigger by the day, politics, backstabbing, legal suits, differences in opinions creep in, ultimately, costing him to loose his only friend and partner in the company. Truely sad, but I guess that is the life of the corporate world.
