In 2010, director David Fincher presented to the audience a classic American success story with a modern interpretation, famous actors were involved in the work on the project. The Social Network is a canonical biopic, a film biography of the notorious Mark Zuckerberg. The purpose of the picture is not chronicle coverage of the most dramatic moments in the life of the youngest billionaire, but the influence of specific people on their outcome.

Based on a true story

The film "The Social Network" (actors of the first plan: D. Eisenberg, E. Garfield, D. Timberlake) is based on real events taking place during 2004. During this time period, a group of gifted students are now launching the world-famous FaceBook site, causing a chain reaction of visits. The main generator of the idea was the young Mark Zuckerberg, who was barely 19 years old. Soon the young man becomes the youngest billionaire on the planet. The picture should be recommended for viewing to those viewers who guess that the capitalappears in a short time due to unique ideas. The biographical drama "The Social Network", whose actors and roles are now known to every movie fan, contains considerable motivation for the younger generation.

Changing events in favor of the storyline

The creators of the film, director David Fincher, author of literary source Ben Mezrich, and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, managed to adequately realize the extremely difficult task of showing a genius at work, given that they have never met the real prototype of their protagonist. Perhaps that is why Erika (actress Rooney Meira), Mark's beloved, appeared in the movie as a plot, which became the trigger of the plot, vital and overnight fabulously stereotypical: a capricious beauty sends a guy to hell, and he goes and makes a discovery in his hearts.

"The Social Network" - a film, actors and roles in which were personally selected by the director of the project, who changed the real development of events in the life of Mark Zuckerberg in favor of the implementation of the author's idea of the creative team of creators.

What can cause a quarrel with a girl

"The Social Network" - a film whose actors tried to convey the following story to the viewer. An angry Mark Zuckerberg (actor Jesse Eisenberg), driven by a desire to take revenge on his ex-girlfriend Erika, posts photos of students from the Harvard Connection website on his page, inviting everyone to build their rating, and this is how the new social network Facebook began to form.

Further events developed in an impartial way, the main character, in order to expand his site, did not disdain to use someone else's intellectual property, throwing out co-author and only friend Eduardo Saverin (actor Andrew Garfield). As the developments show, the genius of the Internet turns out to be a weakling in real life, in relationships with people, like most Internet addicts.

Soon, Mark falls under the influence of another gifted, true evil genius, Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake), creator of Napster. Sean would have taken Mark down a slope, if he, fortunately, was not practically indifferent to any earthly temptations. The actors listed above tried to embody such a difficult idea of the creators on the screen. The Social Network (film) generated mixed reviews and reviews from film critics, which is already a testament to its success.

Main Role

The main role of Mark Zuckerberg was originally considered for Andrew Garfield, Shia LaBeouf and Michael Cera - world famous actors. The Social Network, however, was released starring Jesse Eisenberg. Eisenberg - playwright, film and theater actor was nominated for the Golden Globe and Oscar awards after the movie was released. His career took off rapidly in 2005.

At the moment, he is known to the audience for his participation in such films as "Werewolves", "Squid and Whale", "Hunt's Hunt", "Park of Culture and Leisure". The comedy horror movie brought the actor huge popularity."Welcome to Zombieland." After there were successful roles in the films "Holy Rollers", and, of course, "The Social Network". This year we have the pleasure of seeing Jesse as main antagonist Lex Luthor in Batman v Superman.

Andrew Garfield (Eduardo Saverin)

Andrew Garfield is known to a wide audience as Spider-Man from Mark Webb's dilogy of the same name. The creative path of the actor began in 2007, after roles in the films Boy A and Lions for Lambs. Before The Social Network, Andrew starred in The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, and in 2010 he was approved for the lead role of Peter Parker in The Amazing Spider-Man, although he competed in the casting with quite eminent actors. "The Social Network" for Garfield has become an excellent springboard for taking off acting career.

Justin Timberlake (Sean Parker)

Justin Timberlake, before playing the role of Sean Parker, despite the director's ban, met with him to learn more about his character. But Parker assured Timberlake that the real Sean Parker had nothing to do with the movie character from Aaron Sorkin's script. Justin is known more as a pop and R&B singer, although he has been acting in films since 2005.

His filmography includes both significant films and independent low-budget projects, including: Edison, Alpha Dog, Tales of the South, Sex Guru, Black Snake Moan. In the animated film Shrek 3, the actor voiced the young King Arthur. After 2011, Timberlake began to be invited to more serious big-budgetfilm projects: "Very Bad Teacher", "Friendship", "Time", "Twisted Ball".
