You’d think a movie about something as commonplace as Facebook would be pretty milquetoast, right? What would it be about, anyway? The innovation of the status update? The intricacies of app requests? The art of the Facebook stalk? As uninteresting as all that sounds the movie is actually nothing like what you’d expect. Therefore I can only come to the logical conclusion that screenwriter Aaron Sorkin chose the title “
The Social Network” (from his adaptation of the book “
The Accidental Billionaires”) to deliberately avoid any affiliation between our everyday familiarities with Farmville and the “true story” of Facebook founder
Mark Zuckerberg.
And the score. Don't forget that wonderful score.
