Aaron Sorkin likes to talk. I would like to see a film version of his office, as in my version, as in his of the creation of facebook is oddly subjective,.Like Facebook, this film exists, but by all accounts like my version of how Aaron Sorkin wrote facebook is as acutely observed as my version of how he wrote it.

Scene 1: Aaron writes down what means most to him in a film.

Line reads: I love me.

Aaron rings receptionist: The resulting conversation is petty and ends with 2 prostitutes walking in naked and dictating Aaron’s verbatim script for something. He talks pompously for two hours,has his assistants add names to characters, places his knob in a rolodex. David Fincher has been spotted by the mighty one and so beings the storey of an idea that neither really cares about. Facebook.

It is an amalgamation of the two personalities of creative dogma clashing.And by shear luck and excellent casting,JT aside,it works. But this would have worked better without the Facebook narrative consistently foiling up the possibilities of these actors and dialogue combining. The story of the creation of a website......i have already forgotten what i’m saying. Wonder if i can eat all those biscuits.......YES anyway. This film has two major flaws the true storey itself and Aaron Sorkin’s complete inability to create plot points tension or movement from his conversational dialogue. If this film had a third act, that would have made the meshing of beginning and middle less coarse, it would be an excellent film. But since that ending is still being lived out, it all becomes a little pointless, watching privileged people become more alot more so.
