Journal 7

The subject, which I decided to write about, is the recent acclaimed movie, “The Social Network” directed by visionary filmmaker David Fincher. Deciding this movie was not simply because it was a mass blockbuster in just the recent weeks, but because it is a film coming from a very respected director and because it talks about how our society has been functioning this past decade.

The ambiance of the movie develops in one of the most prestigious colleges, not only of the United Stated, but the world, known as Harvard. Having the story here helps a lot to see how a snob groups of students like the idea to be part of something so elite and isolated thing as facebook; because originally this website was only made for the students of this university and then developing slowly in other ones an then the entire world reaching today to 500,000,000 user.

The score of the film is very well made because it mixes instrumental music with a little bit of electronic. I find this mixture perfect because it gives the film a juvenile felling and at the same time, being a computer theme film, has sounds that you can listen in computers.

Since the first scene I see this movie definitely as a Oscar worthy for a “screenwriters” prize. The dialogue in here is excellent, giving each character its personality by the way they talk and creating conversations so natural that you feel the intensity of the arguments presented in the film.

In the aspect of costume design there is not much to talk about, there in no revolutionary aspect of it, but the creation of this in each of the student’s presents very notoriously how different each character is and what is the background of each one. When I speak of background I mean economic stability.

Finally, the photography is natural and simple, but at certain points you feel like there is pressure between each character when the director presents shots that are face to face creating the feeling of being part of the disscusion.
