David Fincher has the merit of escaping the tradition. The special tradition would say that an artist is always committed where the public is spoiled and drowsiness rotten await. This man says no. I will make a movie on Facebook, no offense to those who are waiting for me Seven 2 or Fight Club reboot. A film about Facebook. The idea is so soft. Yet, this poor gelatin, the film-maker and eel manages to leather a story that crunch under the tooth, proving the high quality of his second sight. Explanations.

Student at the legendary Harvard university, Mark Zuckerberg (the fiction at least) is a model of asociabilité. His wish : to enter the brotherhoods very select to purge himself of his anxieties. Rejected by his girlfriend, Zuckerberg takes the party to spread his misogyny of circumstance on the internet. The success of it illegal earned him the attention of the brothers Winklevoss, the archetypes of the good company in the campus. This designation will provide the young misfit his ticket to glory…and to an isolation greater.

The Social Network looks back on the genesis passion of the creature to Facebook, this great diary that travelled by five hundred million persons. If Zuckerberg is the official author, the film has chosen to reveal the war of appropriation that raged between the as of the it and its supporters. For Fincher, the interest is neither legal nor technological, it is visceral. What kind of fire anime a teenager of nineteen years old, what is the power of this fire, and that is it ready to burn ? A good film starts with good questions.

Mark Zuckerberg suffers from invisibility. Rather than end her life or those of his comrades (no killing of Columbine), his first reaction is to gather his forces for a better burst in the eye of the Other in the form of work. It is a process of artistic evidence. The young man resigns himself ever. His confidence in his talent prevents him from hesitating. It advance back. This share is heroic enough to raise it to the rank of icons capitals whose youth is now critically needed. Zuckerberg, it is Sartre. It is revenge, it is revenge, it is the rage of the defeated in advance, the ugly, the small, ghost. Zuckerberg means Possible. But The Possible is selfish, this is the shadow at the table. His only friend, Eduardo Savarin, will be sacrificed on the altar of the individual is king. Exist, is to oppose. Zuckerberg wants to rule without sharing in its Empire. The money has no interest for him, personal identity is better than silver. He is the Creator.

This story was both devastating and encouraging, takes its honey of a game of perfect actor. Jesse Eisenberg, the King Lonely, Andrew Garfield, the General Betrayed him, Justin Timberlake, the Grand Chamberlain, pushing the walls of their natural talent with an expert director. They are not content to be young and cons. They apply. Their dialogues-machine gun to challenge the action. The words import. We feel thatAaron Sorkin, the famous screenwriter, from the theatre. Words that count, it’s good, it helps the actors, it educates the viewer, it does not chew the work !

The Social Network is part of the era of the time by its cover, the invention of a tool state of the art. Its content existentialist has something bigger than this cover. Facebook is not a revolution. The revolution of the snap of the finger, it is the entire internet. David Fincher understood that the charm whole of his argument lies in the strength of character of his anti-hero and not on the keys of his keyboard. The machine will always be less than human. It is a lesson.
