The Social Network is directed by the famous director david fincher. david fincher is a director with great personal characteristics, and he has worked with countless Hollywood stars. Almost all of his works are above 8.5 on Douban, such as Fight Club, The Disappearing Girl and The Wonder of Benjamin Button. It can be said that you may not know david fincher, so you must have heard of or seen his works.
The Social Network is based on Zuckerberg, the founder of Facebook, which means it is a biographical film. Unlike most biographies, The Social Network does not tell Zuckerberg's entrepreneurial history in chronological order.
The main structure of the story is that Zuckerberg is caught in two lawsuits. In the negotiation of two lawsuits, Zuckerberg's past events about his research and development and the establishment of Facebook were interspersed in the film in the form of memories, thus constructing this complete process. The film tells the story of Zuckerberg's breakup with his girlfriend, the help and maintenance of his friend Andrew, the betrayal and ignorance of his partner Sean, and the hostility and revenge of the Winklevoss brothers. These fierce stories and conflicts show the personalities of Facebook and Zuckerberg.
Of course, as a biopic, it can't be said to be different. The reason why the word "English movies" comes to mind first is because there are too many lines in Social Network!
I have never seen this kind of machine-gun dialogue before, which makes me unable to keep up with the refreshing speed of lines even if I look at the Chinese translation subtitles. This once made me decide to watch this movie in multiples of 0.75, because the information in the dialogue is too large! If you are not careful, you will miss some key information.
I always thought it was an actor's effort to perform his lines and keep up with the rhythm of the movie. It was not until three years later, that is, The Wonder Thief, which was released on 20 13, that I finally saw the familiar figure again-yes, it was the actor Jesse Eisenberg who played the leading role of Zuckerberg in The Social Network. He played the leading role in The Wonder Thief again and "hurt" me with his machine gun-like speech speed.
Back to the movie, the sharp clips and high-density information of social networks match the actors' intense and rapid dialogue, which makes the movie very fast-thus, david fincher and Nolan have similar styles-Nolan likes to hide too much information in the pictures and plots, while social networks hide a lot of information in the actors' mouths.
So my first reaction to the problem of "English movies" is this "social network"-because in this movie, you will hear three times more English lines than other movies!
