ReZourceman Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I'm confused as to why there isn't a thread for this? Saw it last night and absolutely loved it. Incredibly solid acting performances from everyone (even Justin Timberlake was pretty good, who I'm not normally a massive fan of) stand outs from Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield. Really awesome dialogue, and I thoroughly enjoyed the story. 9/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cube Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 From the trailers, I was under the impression that this was a just a dull documentary film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mundi Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Really liked it, which is a given seeing as it is directed by David Fincher. Its a very talky film so if you have ADD or something it might not be a film for you. This film also reminded of why I fucking hate product placements.

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 From the trailers, I was under the impression that this was a just a dull documentary film. Just about my impression as well. I dunno, I think once I head about a Facebook film, I expected a film about the controversial aspects of the site, not a "simple" documentary style film about its creation (which has even been dramatised without any involvement from the real Mark Zuckerberg).

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Its not a documentary style film, its a drama. About a real life event, thus documentary style. Still, as a drama, I really don't find the plot all that interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReZourceman Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 About a real life event, thus documentary style. I wouldn't say that. Is Titanic a documentary style because its about a real life event? Still, as a drama, I really don't find the plot all that interesting. Outrageous claims.

Mundi Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 It is easily one of the best films to come out this year. The controversy this film is about is much more interesting then I thought it was. Basically, I think everyone should see it and Fincher is an excellent director.

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 I wouldn't say that. Is Titanic a documentary style because its about a real life event? Outrageous claims. Well, Titanic is about an event. The characters in the film are pretty much made up, aren't they? The Social Network revolves around actual people. Actual living people and what they've accomplished. That makes it more documentary-like in my mind. But it's irrelevant, really. The point is that I really don't find it all that interesting.

Dan_Dare Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 It's a biopic, and my all accounts a very good one. I'll try and catch this soon I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Peeps Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 The trailers sold me on this film, I hadn't really thought much of it before seeing them. Not sure when I'm going to see this but I know I want to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about nothing. It's about a man who lives in a little town and walks about and sits in cafes. But its literally too stunning. I have so much faith in this film (I've not yet seen), because you can tell it stuns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have so much faith in this film (I've not yet seen), because you can tell it stuns. Apart from your first sentence, that posts makes little sense. How can something be stunning that you've yet to see but apparently have so much faith in. You should try reading the Spot the dog books, they're literally about a spotted dog that does the usual things a dog does. I was quite looking forward to this but i've heard a few people say that most of the events are bullshit and didn't actually happen. I'll definitely check it out however.

Oxigen_Waste Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 That doesn't change the fact that I'm still not interested. I think that what he meant is that it doesn't really matter wether or not you're interested, when something is good enough. Which apparently is the case. It's like Milk... I doubt the majority of people was particularly interested in the premise of the film, and yet most people who've seen it loved it. If it's well made, it really doesn't matter what it's about, like chair said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You Cannot assume because you're not interested in the subject, that you won't enjoy the movie. A lot of people enjoyed the wrestler despite not been interesting in wrestling. A lot of people enjoyed Kong of kong without liking gaming. I can tell you it's a great drama. If you like well-acted dramas... go and see this. Perhaps you can just wait for dvd though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
