I am so tempted to watch it again just to see. I may have been a bit too young when it first came out. Going to come back at it with more life experience and see what I can bring to the table.
52K / TapDatApolis facts saw it in seventh grade and just saw the full movie for the first time since then a couple months ago(I’m 20 now) and I realized how much dialogue and just story elements that went over my head, like I completely missed the little subplot about Mark being jealous and possibly sabotaging Eduardo. One of my all time favorite movies and Aaron Sorkin is quite possibly my favorite writer
@@LivingLikeLarry12 true. I was really struck how (like the company) Mark, the character, is trying to get you to believe something that isn't true. I originally saw the film and admired his ambition and just wrote off his snarkiness as just being smart. But with new eyes see, as Rooney Mara revealed in the 1st ten minutes, he's just an asshole. Eisenberg did a good job, in my opinion, of hiding menace as ambition.
loved how you utilized this format! really made me *feel* like someone who is addicted to their phone by fault of the advertiser oriented algorithms that have driven its own creators to bans phones from their children and have trouble not refreshing and checking their notifications too (can u tell i watched social dilemma)
The real tragedy in this film is that Sorkin is basically writing about himself, a talented, successful as*hole. It’s often been said that a preacher's sermon is ultimately meant for himself, and that is certainly true here.
muern I think what works about this film compared to other Sorkin projects he’s made is that since he’s constrained by the real-world material he, essentially, is forced to write only about assholes. There’s no liberal character to come in and give an amazing speech that can even turn the republicans around like he can on The West Wing, or a journalist heroically telling everyone on a plane that Osama Bin Laden was just killed like on The Newsroom. Instead, he has to write about a guy who lies and cheats and pushes away others to get to the top.
Even if Facebook goes the way of other passé tech companies, it won’t make The Social Network dated, since the writing in the film makes it timeless. It has one of my favourite final lines in any film (If you’ve seen it then you know what I’m talking about), it draws the story to a full circle. It’s one of the many reasons why it’s not only my favourite film of the 2010s but one of my favourite films ever.
Out of curiosity, have you ever watched the 90s anime "Serial Experiments Lain"? It's very interesting to revisit because it was arguably the first major piece of filmed media that took the Internet *seriously.* When Hollywood was making pop movies like Hackers, SXL was asking things like "What is the Internet doing to our perceptions? How is it changing the youngest generation?" The show is surrealist, but I find it holds up pretty well, and a lot of its insights still resonate. Even if some may find the resolution a bit disappointing or overly magical. . (Also "Sneakers," but it was much more narrowly focused on data control, rather than the larger societal impact of networking.)
This is the 3rd times this week I've seen Serial Experiment Lain in comments. I remember having an old anime magazine it was featured in and never took the plunge to watch it. Gonna go watch it now, thanks fellow commentor!
When the movie first came out, I thought it was just going to be some movie trying to cash in on the popularity of Facebook and become dated much later but dang the movie has aged so well.
The story of Silk Road would be prime source material. A lot of overlapping themes with The Social Network and Steve Jobs. I would recommend Wired Magazine's two parter on the story: www.wired.com/2015/04/silk-road-1/
Just watched this movie a week ago. Good movie no doubts about that, but what I took away from it was an intense hatred towards Zuckerberg. Immediately torched my Instagram account and vowed to punch the ever living shit out of Zuckerberg if I ever came across him, no matter the consequences.
Is it bad that, as much as I love this movie, I've only now realized it's title, _The Social Network_ , refers less to Facebook and the rise of Social Media, and more to Mark Zuckerburg's personal social circle and it's dissolution? Which is obviously what the film itself is about, but I never really made the connection to the title, or at least forgot.
Speaking of David Fincher, for those of you unaware, his latest film, "Mank", a film about the making of Citizen Kane no less, is coming out next month.
I had the same feeling watching it last year. The worries and concerns of nowadays just increase the tragedy of something that has been created with no agenda, among friends, has gone so terrible wrong - even not satisfactory for the designer himself.
I think we need more time to decide the best films of the 2010s. I saw one lost with Parasite at number 1 and while it is a great film it seems way to early to put it at number one.
I love *_both_* films, but few things betray "recency bias" more than ranking Parasite first and *_especially_* Green Book last when it comes to the Best Picture Oscar winners of the 2010s.
Amazing film. Writing, direction, storytelling, cinematography, soundtrack, visual effects, sound design, production design, all the things. Great aesthetic by the way.
Wrote 70 pages about the music, what it is and what it does for my film school diploma, was so enlightening, even though I felt like scratching the surface of the movie, and the music too, everything's has so much depth, its incredible Love the video!
I’m watching this with pretty bad connection so I caught myself trying to continue “scrolling” to the next post when the video stopped loading because that’s what I do when the content doesn’t load on Instagram for example 😅
I've really been enjoying watching your videos evolve. From the typography, to animation, to playing with format, you're work is refreshing. Your visual and narrative palette makes me excited to watch, even if the subject is something I have never spared a second thought.
The Saul Bass movie poster video was the first video in portrait I thought actually used it for a genuine purpose and it blew my mind. Not to mention it was the first portrait video I saw that wasn’t an ad. Plus it’s just a solid video. That’s why it’s my go to for introducing people to your channel. I love that you’ve gone back to it, and while I feel like this one adds a lot more aesthetic value than practical, I’m still happy to see it make a return. Thanks so much for all the little detail work (and big detail work) that you put into these. It shows, and it’s why I click on anything you put out instantly. I mean, the honest opinions, solid research and, really organized scripting you do doesn’t hurt that either. You’ve paved a way for your opinions to be not only valuable and educational, but palatable and enjoyable too. I’m excited for your next one.
It's not astonishing to me that "The King's Speech" won the Academy Award for Best Picture over "The Social Network". It's more astonishing to me that neither Andrew Garfield nor Armie Hammer received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor in this movie. You mentioned Seth Rogen's performance in the movie "Steve Jobs" in this video. He was equally snubbed.
Someone asked me how story of Facebook could be interesting. (When I had just seen it in theater) I said. Easy. Its not about Facobook. Its about socially incompetent dudes drowning in money and power. Thats a fitting name for the Sorkins trilogy. Then Mollys Game would finish it.
Interestingly enough, I put The Social Network as #6 on my Best of the 2010s: boxd.it/4c3aa. As you will see, there were some stiff competition =] At the time, it was a part mini-nostalgia trip (I was still in college when Facebook launched, putting me in that weird cusp group as far as “lifetime” and “pervasive” social media) and part celebration of film production in Massachusetts (I’ve been to the Thirsty Scholar Pub in Somerville where Zuckerberg got the shutdown from Erica). And yeah, it was interesting the note the Citizen Kane comparisons. Thankfully, this was a case where it is panning out this way for the reasons you stated. Plus it helped you had some incredible talent involved who made it all come together wonderfully.
What's also interesting about this film is that it portrays Mark Zuckerberg as wrong, and not a messiah or a "misunderstood genius". He's bright, yes, but he's also an anti-social creating a social media platform. Incredibly ironic when you really think about it. He's someone who is (at least portrayed on screen) numerically intelligent, but not _emotionally_ intelligent (which is just as important when it comes to basic human interaction, and navigating through life).
Andrew is always out here putting all of us other movie RUclipsrs to shame with just how darn good these videos are. Great work man! The bar keeps being raised!
Seeing people constantly discussing this film over the past 10 years always reminds me of the very heated arguments my roomie & I had about Social Network vs Kings Speech at the Oscars (our other roomie sometimes had to break us up). He felt Kings deserved it while I argued it was Oscar-bait trash that will be forgotten & that Social should've won because it was more prevalent to the times & commented more thoroughly on the world we live in for better or worse. It wasn't just a well-crafted film, it was an important film. Time has shown who the winner of that argument was.
When I started the video on my computer and saw that it was horizontal and that you wanted me to watch it on a phone, I was skeptical. But my goodness was tat an experience
I think the key word in the Social Network's success, both as a narrative and as a comment on modern life, is empathy. It's a cynical story, but it's not a hateful one. It's about ego and the things it makes us do that feel right in the moment but come to regret once the consequences set it. The Mark Zuckerberg of The Social Network isn't evil, just extremely anti-social: he does a lot of unscrupulous, immoral and selfish things, but the most malicious thing he does is take his anger out on his ex by insulting her on Livejournal. Whether or not Mark is an asshole or trying to be, he's undoubtably anti-social. His biggest drawback is that he only understands things computationally (which, ironically, makes him the perfect person to start something like Facebook: it's literally taking the indefinably complex nature of human behavior and making it binary). Related, I've also always loved the shot of Sean Parker taking a hit from his inhaler when he's in jail, showing that this over-the-top sleezeball is just a guy with lots of ambition but no self-control. If it were just two hours of bad people doing bad things, the story wouldn't be saying anything, it'd just be really tedious once the shock wore off (*ahembojack*). You're right to say that the later half of the 2010s (and the beginning of the 2020s) can be characterized by extremely hateful judgement (largely made possible by social media, appropriately; Tinder may be voluntary Facemash, but Facebook and Twitter are gentrified 4Chan), but this is not a hateful or judgmental film, it's a human one. By showing empathy, this movie shows that no matter how smart, charismatic or well-intentioned one can be, literally anyone is capable of being this way. And in an era so densely populated by self-appointed social critics and out-loud-and-proud cyberbullies, and where the line between both is getting blurrier every day, it's reassuring that this film of all film really shows how far empathy will take you.
First of all I want to praise that vertical, facebook innovative look that your video used, its amazing!!!! Loved it! Keep up the good work! Secondly, I just rewatched the social network 2 days ago I have so much appreciation for this film its in my top 3 movies of all time. The dialogue is untouched! Every point you made in this video is 100% right and what i feel about this movie. Something I read yesterday is that QT also said a couple of months ago that it is his favorite movie of the 2010s.
Style points here but the analysis us fantastic. The more time passes, the more I find the film deeply disturbing. Its like watching a man knowing that the actions he takes in the film only get worse later, and all of the cockiness can't save Facebook from itself.
Love this video man! I also have different feelings from the movie, in regards to class. In the end when it said he was the youngest billionaire in the world I used to be like, "Wow. That's amazing." But as my politics has shifted, and Facebook has gotten shadier, I associate billionaires with movies like this, where the only way someone becomes a billionaire is through exploitation and betrayal. I also loved the saying that was on the posters : You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies. Boy is that true today.
I'd only want to talk like an Aaron Sorkin character if everyone else in the world did too. If you're the only one that talks like that.....God help you in getting anyone to like you ever again
This movie has always stuck with me too. I don't even remember how many times I have watched it in whole and parts, but I just seem to relate to it and feel so connected.
Never thought about the Paddy Chayefsky connection, but I should have. He's one of my favorite screenwriters and Network is my favorite movie he wrote. I like The Social Network, but I still think Network is better in a lot of ways.
oh no, is the third film gonna be Musk? or that Theranos woman?,,,no wait, duh, it's gonna be a Jack Dorsey movie...actually maybe it ought to be Gates, the OG, and make it more optimistic.
You could've tied in the me too along with the fact that the film that did win, King's Speech, was a Weinstein Company film. Boy did they produce some mediocre pretentious horseshit. Andrew Garfield should've been nominated and I'd argue jesse Eisenberg should've won. Though James Franco and Javier Bardem were fucking terrific.
Wow. Your content man!! Phew! A+ 5 star educational entertainment. The whole screen scrolling visual concept is one thing, but then the time ticking over and the battery draining just made me appreciate your creativity along with your intelligence and kinda made me RUclips-love you! 🤩 Y’know the only problem with your channel? It’s that you can’t post 20 videos per day! Lol 😝
I swear this channel has some of the most inventive b-roll on the platform. I freaking love what you do with it.
What Andrew Saladino does in this video, about this subject, is genius. Well done, sir.
Nice seeing you here nitrorad. :)
The Social Network held up a lot better over time than Facebook itself did.
LOL
Well one of them was about people...
WhatsApp? Instagram?
Hell yeah. It was great back in 2007-2008. Boring as he'll now
Well, Zucc owns Instagram too, which is the stuff right now. And whatsapp, which has been the thing for a long time now.
This was FANTASTIC, Andrew.
Currently rewatching on Netflix. It has aged for the better which is saying a lot.
I am so tempted to watch it again just to see.
I may have been a bit too young when it first came out.
Going to come back at it with more life experience and see what I can bring to the table.

I love how years ago when the film came out, some critics felt it portrayed Zuckerberg too harshly. Give it a few years. 🤣🤣🤣

“Tinder is the new FaceSmash”
Tinder legit used to use the same Elo rating algorithm that Garfield’s character writes on the window for FaceSmash
Damn, i knew it was ELO. I just watched the movie and kept thinking to myself i saw that algorithm somewhere.
I'm bothered that the presentation wasn't on dark mode.
unfortunately Facebook doesn't have a dark mode
@@jackwiegmann Facebook lite does

Not only that, Sorkin himself has now been a critic of Zuckerberg over Facebook's mishandling of ethics.
Ha he so is!

@@SourSourSour don't worry if you didn't understand a thing. even the people who watched it get confused about it.
Lain is sometimes downright scary when you take into account the fact that it was released around 98 if im not mistaken.
When the movie first came out, I thought it was just going to be some movie trying to cash in on the popularity of Facebook and become dated much later but dang the movie has aged so well.
The Citizen Kane similarities are something I never picked up on, and it's interesting since Fincher's next film is about the making of Citizen Kane.
I've lost count as to how many times I've watched this film. It absolutely never gets old
You've reminded me this film exists.
I am now required under law to rewatch it.
Who do you think the 3rd installment of the technocrat trilogy would be about?
The story of Silk Road would be prime source material. A lot of overlapping themes with The Social Network and Steve Jobs. I would recommend Wired Magazine's two parter on the story: www.wired.com/2015/04/silk-road-1/
Elon Musk?
Bill Gates
lui yes.
Bezos

What an amazing video, really loved the style, the minutes passing and the battery dropping 😂.
Greetings from Brazil
127 Hours may have been collectively forgotten, but I think it holds up great.
The details like the exact timings of when the battery percentage goes down is impressive. Great job on this video.
Speaking of David Fincher, for those of you unaware, his latest film, "Mank", a film about the making of Citizen Kane no less, is coming out next month.
I had the same feeling watching it last year. The worries and concerns of nowadays just increase the tragedy of something that has been created with no agenda, among friends, has gone so terrible wrong - even not satisfactory for the designer himself.
I loved the way you formatted this to feel like scrolling through a Facebook feed. My thumb kept moving to hit the Like buttons in the video, lol.
I scrolled up multiple times completely forgetting I'm on RUclips not on Facebook
The Social Network remains to this date one of the most well constructed films I’ve ever seen.
There is an anime series called Serial Experiment Lain that is similar in prediction the truth of nowadays reality where it was released in 1997.
I love Lain.
I still don't understand the quote "The best films give back to you what you bring to them." Can somebody explain?
I think we need more time to decide the best films of the 2010s. I saw one lost with Parasite at number 1 and while it is a great film it seems way to early to put it at number one.
I love *_both_* films, but few things betray "recency bias" more than ranking Parasite first and *_especially_* Green Book last when it comes to the Best Picture Oscar winners of the 2010s.
Damn, probably one of the best video essays I’ve ever seen. Well done
You have no idea how many times I've replayed its soundtrack, and you have no idea how many times im going to replay this video.
Don’t mind me. Just here to help the algorithm.
Amazing film.
Writing, direction, storytelling, cinematography, soundtrack, visual effects, sound design, production design, all the things.
Great aesthetic by the way.
Very clever video format. 10/10 Impressive.
Fun fact: The movie he is talking about is called The Social Network
A genius indeed!
You learn something new everyday I suppose!
Thank you Captain Obvious! 😂
Anyone remeber "The Kings speech"?
No? Didn't think so.
I remember. Idk why but I like The King's Speech more than it.
I do. It's a good movie.
Wrote 70 pages about the music, what it is and what it does for my film school diploma, was so enlightening, even though I felt like scratching the surface of the movie, and the music too, everything's has so much depth, its incredible
Love the video!

I've really been enjoying watching your videos evolve. From the typography, to animation, to playing with format, you're work is refreshing. Your visual and narrative palette makes me excited to watch, even if the subject is something I have never spared a second thought.
I watched this for this first time a couple nights ago, so this seems fitting haha 😂
Was planning on re-watching _The Social Network_ this evening, so I’ll check back on this video afterwards. ^_^
WHAT AN EDIT! I would've never thought of that
Now, 10 years later, we have The Social Dilemma.
For a second there I got confused, for my phone set-up looks completely different now 🤣👌
The Saul Bass movie poster video was the first video in portrait I thought actually used it for a genuine purpose and it blew my mind.

People who call television a idiot box are the true idiots.
This entire video is genius and I can't emphasize that enough!
Prediction: either this year or next year the library of Congress will select it for the national film registry
The battery percentage drops throughout the video(82-80) . Small details add to the bigger picture.
It's not astonishing to me that "The King's Speech" won the Academy Award for Best Picture over "The Social Network". It's more astonishing to me that neither Andrew Garfield nor Armie Hammer received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor in this movie.

You missed your opportunity to add the little “sponsored” tag to the skillshare segment.
I desperately want a sequel with the same cast, writing, and style about Facebook in the years since

Wow that's really nice editing. Both to easily fit on on mobil networks but also placing the subject in the most used form of the product. Love it!

Time has shown who the winner of that argument was.
Literally most people have never heard of the Kings Speech
@@KianOntong13 Good. Cuz it's bland & a cookie-cutter film. There's nothing memorable about it
Ppl only know The King's Speech as "oh yeaahhh that one period piece about a stutterer"
When I started the video on my computer and saw that it was horizontal and that you wanted me to watch it on a phone, I was skeptical. But my goodness was tat an experience
this is my favorite movie of all time , watch it 3 times since corona
I kept trying to scroll up and down watching this.

I guess it's time for a rewatch.

Style points here but the analysis us fantastic. The more time passes, the more I find the film deeply disturbing. Its like watching a man knowing that the actions he takes in the film only get worse later, and all of the cockiness can't save Facebook from itself.
Hand Covers Bruise is one of my go to moods.
And that transition into In Motion....
Love Reznor/Ross' work for this film.
Love this video man! I also have different feelings from the movie, in regards to class. In the end when it said he was the youngest billionaire in the world I used to be like, "Wow. That's amazing." But as my politics has shifted, and Facebook has gotten shadier, I associate billionaires with movies like this, where the only way someone becomes a billionaire is through exploitation and betrayal. I also loved the saying that was on the posters : You don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies. Boy is that true today.
I always found the scene at the end with refreshing her profile to be very sad. I honestly am very surprised it could play as funny to someone.
In a tragic, ironic way it could be seen as at least slightly humorous. I always thought it was sad tho.
I'd only want to talk like an Aaron Sorkin character if everyone else in the world did too. If you're the only one that talks like that.....God help you in getting anyone to like you ever again
Everybody involved with this movie should also have to testify before Congress along with Mark Zuckerberg.
This is quite probably the first portrait-mode-video I actually like. Touche, my friend, touche!
Man that Citizen Kane comparison was brilliant man. Still pisses me off this movie didn't win best picture.
You even animated the battery and clock at the top.
Neat touch!
This movie has always stuck with me too. I don't even remember how many times I have watched it in whole and parts, but I just seem to relate to it and feel so connected.
I just can't believe it's been 10 years!!!
The King's Speech just stole that oscar from The Social Network.
Damn. I ought to rewatch this movie.
Can you repost the Buster Keaton Video?
Time, as usual, shows the Academy and critics how wrong they are... Loved the format. Thanx!!!
This video adequately answered my condescending question.
I've probably watched The Social Network more than any other film. Always bringing something new with each viewing.
Damn i need a new Fincher movie in my life....
firstly I thought Jesse Eisenberg is making that voice over
Excellent video, but enabling ads in the middle of the video is really frustrating.
Never thought about the Paddy Chayefsky connection, but I should have. He's one of my favorite screenwriters and Network is my favorite movie he wrote. I like The Social Network, but I still think Network is better in a lot of ways.
Such a beautiful video, not only the video, but the whole expirience
oh no, is the third film gonna be Musk? or that Theranos woman?,,,no wait, duh, it's gonna be a Jack Dorsey movie...actually maybe it ought to be Gates, the OG, and make it more optimistic.
You could've tied in the me too along with the fact that the film that did win, King's Speech, was a Weinstein Company film. Boy did they produce some mediocre pretentious horseshit.
Andrew Garfield should've been nominated and I'd argue jesse Eisenberg should've won. Though James Franco and Javier Bardem were fucking terrific.
I can't believe that jab you made at The King's Speech. It's still great and I still rewatch it.
I'm giving you my like, but I'm fuming.
The Social Network will outlive Facebook at this point
Wow. Excellent essay and next level use of form. Brilliant.
Ey don’t diss on King’s Speech. I still recommend The King’s Speech to everyone who asks; friggin’ love that movie
Social Network is certainly very near the top of my favorite films of the past decade, but the #1 spot belongs to Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy.
You missed the (real) connection of director David Fincher to a movie on 'Citizen Cane' - 'Mank'.
Wow. Your content man!! Phew! A+ 5 star educational entertainment. The whole screen scrolling visual concept is one thing, but then the time ticking over and the battery draining just made me appreciate your creativity along with your intelligence and kinda made me RUclips-love you! 🤩
Y’know the only problem with your channel? It’s that you can’t post 20 videos per day! Lol 😝
This vertical format really works for this video! Just wish it would remain a niche thing...
