      52K / TapDatApolis facts saw it in seventh grade and just saw the full movie for the first time since then a couple months ago(I’m 20 now) and I realized how much dialogue and just story elements that went over my head, like I completely missed the little subplot about Mark being jealous and possibly sabotaging Eduardo. One of my all time favorite movies and Aaron Sorkin is quite possibly my favorite writer

    • @jordachejordan90
      @jordachejordan90 Před 3 lety +4

      @@LivingLikeLarry12 true. I was really struck how (like the company) Mark, the character, is trying to get you to believe something that isn't true. I originally saw the film and admired his ambition and just wrote off his snarkiness as just being smart. But with new eyes see, as Rooney Mara revealed in the 1st ten minutes, he's just an asshole. Eisenberg did a good job, in my opinion, of hiding menace as ambition.

  • @muern
    @muern Před 3 lety +138

    The real tragedy in this film is that Sorkin is basically writing about himself, a talented, successful as*hole. It’s often been said that a preacher's sermon is ultimately meant for himself, and that is certainly true here.

    • @bigredjanie
      @bigredjanie Před 3 lety +21

      muern I think what works about this film compared to other Sorkin projects he’s made is that since he’s constrained by the real-world material he, essentially, is forced to write only about assholes. There’s no liberal character to come in and give an amazing speech that can even turn the republicans around like he can on The West Wing, or a journalist heroically telling everyone on a plane that Osama Bin Laden was just killed like on The Newsroom. Instead, he has to write about a guy who lies and cheats and pushes away others to get to the top.

    • @rickardkaufman3988

    @Transmission_Rory Před 3 lety +48

    Even if Facebook goes the way of other passé tech companies, it won’t make The Social Network dated, since the writing in the film makes it timeless. It has one of my favourite final lines in any film (If you’ve seen it then you know what I’m talking about), it draws the story to a full circle. It’s one of the many reasons why it’s not only my favourite film of the 2010s but one of my favourite films ever.

  • @spinlok3943
    @spinlok3943 Před 3 lety +28

  • @jasonblalock4429
    @jasonblalock4429 Před 3 lety +76

    Out of curiosity, have you ever watched the 90s anime "Serial Experiments Lain"? It's very interesting to revisit because it was arguably the first major piece of filmed media that took the Internet *seriously.* When Hollywood was making pop movies like Hackers, SXL was asking things like "What is the Internet doing to our perceptions? How is it changing the youngest generation?" The show is surrealist, but I find it holds up pretty well, and a lot of its insights still resonate. Even if some may find the resolution a bit disappointing or overly magical.
    .
    (Also "Sneakers," but it was much more narrowly focused on data control, rather than the larger societal impact of networking.)

    Is it bad that, as much as I love this movie, I've only now realized it's title, _The Social Network_ , refers less to Facebook and the rise of Social Media, and more to Mark Zuckerburg's personal social circle and it's dissolution? Which is obviously what the film itself is about, but I never really made the connection to the title, or at least forgot.

    The Saul Bass movie poster video was the first video in portrait I thought actually used it for a genuine purpose and it blew my mind. Not to mention it was the first portrait video I saw that wasn’t an ad. Plus it’s just a solid video. That’s why it’s my go to for introducing people to your channel. I love that you’ve gone back to it, and while I feel like this one adds a lot more aesthetic value than practical, I’m still happy to see it make a return.
    Thanks so much for all the little detail work (and big detail work) that you put into these. It shows, and it’s why I click on anything you put out instantly. I mean, the honest opinions, solid research and, really organized scripting you do doesn’t hurt that either.
