The Social Network

Still the most formidable, incisive piece of American pop cinema made in the last 25 years! I’m just consistently blown away at how well this movie has aged, even 15 years later. You could release this movie today and EVEN with everything that’s happened since 2010, the impact would be the same, kinda chilling to think about, this film is a harbinger to everything, so tapped in to how culture works, hugely influential, distorted abundance of greed that’s just continued to deafen our culture 15 years later, I think every time I watch this now there’s gonna be a pit in my stomach! It’s almost silly to call it "prophetic" at this too as well and the films for me now a period piece, even that it’s a genre this film with everything that tried to toe its line and be the next “The social network”.  For me now, I think this is finchers best! Gone girl I’ve seen a couple times this past couple years and I’m putting that in the freezer for a while so I’m happy with that in third, I like fight club, se7en but zodiac and social network are near neck and neck for me, I think they both do one thing extremely well and that’s making an audience care which I know sounds simple but for social network it turned this very important thing that’s was way ahead of its time that people thought was a joke like David Fincher is making a Facebook movie with Justin timberlake type stuff,but it got turned into a masterpiece! Zodiac though it took the crime thriller to like the next level I think, rather than forcing the audience to care it’s pretty much a whole movie about why certain investigators would care and the psychology toll it takes on people, it’s just so unique to have a story about a killer but show the damage that happens to none of the people who were related to the crime, amazing film but I think now social network just edges it for me.  Bravo 👏🏻
