Sorkin is probably the go-to example for this, but who else comes to mind when you think of directors/writers who make dialogue feel that little bit more exciting???
when this movie was coming out in theatres, i kind of rolled my eyes at the concept of a facebook movie. i didn't really see much in the way of previews, but went because i was curious and maybe even going just to hate watch. i ended up loving it so much and saw it multiple times. it was obviously not at all what i thought it was going to be. such a great film!
So true. When it was released I assumed it was a cash grab kinda movie. The focus of the movie would be on how amazing the invention of facebook was and how it was changing lives all over the world. Then seeing the actual movie; it is more of a court room drama about a central character who is obsessed with his own self image. I was blown away.
I have always hated it. just because it's well-made doesn't mean it deserves to be liked. it's a romanticisation of the birth of one of the worst entities in our present-day cultural landscape. it may be entertaining, well-written, well-directed etc (I've always rated Fincher), but I feel that this movie fed the techbro phenomenon to the detriment of all of us.
What I like about Sorkin's writing is that listening to it makes my brain jump to a level where its neurons are firing faster and more efficiently than is normally required. It's like the very best sunny day after the tastiest caffeinated beverage where suddenly, as the world is coming at me from all angles, I can handle it and even enjoy it 'cause I'm fully alive and engaged and despite the high sensory input, I'm at ease.
The death of home DVD killed the low budget movies, early 2000’s comedies, & prevented studios from taking risks on movies that would eventually become classics & sell well on DVD post-theatre release
I'm not sure, for me it's according to mood. _Zodiac_ and _The Game_ are my other go to films. Curiously all Bay Area settings, likely why I always thought of _Se7ven_ being set in and around San Francisco.
The dialogue evokes such strong emotions and layers of complexity you just couldn't wrap your head around the moment you begin analyzing the littlest details of what these actors are attempting to get across to their audiences. Pretty sure they're impactful by all means necessary.
I've always loved how it seems that Sean is trying to but into the argument, either to protect Mark or more likely for his own ego but Eduardo shuts him down every time. The scene is actually about the final end of a friendship, Sean becomes just an accessory
love this analysis. i know directors get final say on the edit, but it’s cool how much coverage fincher does and then TRUSTS the editors to do right by him. yes, he has a distinct style that can guide them; yes, the coverage informs the edit; but still - editing is a lot harder than most people think and includes a lot of nuance that takes true skill to understand and takes talent to flow seamlessly, even with the best director.
Of course! Plus there's 60 takes to choose from for the same shot and from what I've seen Angus Wall do, he cuts bits and pieces of different takes in each angle to bring the best out of the performance. Considering these many cuts, to Fincher's precision is just mind-blowing. This film and Zodiac had the best editing I've seen and the names behind: Angus Wall & Kirk Baxter. Editors deserve a lot of praise. Having worked on several students films as an editor I can tell it's a very unique skillset that demands a lot of observation & intuition.
i had no idea that so many of my favorite movies were written by the same guy. that explains why moneyball and tsn are my comfort movies. ive always loved the way sorkin writes dialogue and ive just never put it together that that is the thing that draws me to those films! great video 🧡
if you haven't seen the west wing, give it a shot! it introduced me to sorkin's writing style and i've been obsessed ever since. the first two episodes are magic
i've always seen memorability as the foremost hallmark of a good movie. i could have only watched the social network only once and retained a solid memory of the vast majority of its scenes. fincher beautifully encapsulated one of the most intriguing and seminal moments of the information age, and in the process created one of the most rewatchable films i've had the joy of experiencing
Damn. 13 years have passed but still there are new videos about this film posted every week. One of the finest films I have ever watched in terms of dialogues and also I have re-watched this film the most times.
And if all those elements come together WITH a $100B budget? We get an all time classic, like The Social Network. These studios make it way too complicated
I usually imagine the actors working when I see a movie and wonder about thecamera placement and rehearsal and editing but this doesn't feel like acting, so good
Academy voters took the day off when they inexplicably left Andrew off the nominations decisions. He is just as essential to this movie being seen as one of the best movies of its decade as Jesse is.
I think I agree! Looking at the list, only Christian Bale's performance and win for Supporting Actor has lasted over the years, and even that felt like they were finally giving him an award for something. There's absolutely room for Garfield's performance to have been nominated.
The fact that this movie can stand up now and still be so relevant is impressive. It transcends the subjects in a way that this will be forever watchable. Mark Zuckerberg becoming more public has made him so much easier to dislike that you wish he was actually Jesse Eisenberg. What a weird twist of fate that the character in your bio pic is better than yourself.
This is my favourite film of all time but otherwise I'm not really that familiar with Sorkin. I've been deliberating over watching The West Wing and I think the sad news about Matthew Perry means I'm finally going to give it a go.
I tried to watch it and while it has very, very good writing I just simply cannot cope with the 90s american presidential fantasy. After Trump, that kind of character makes little sense to me. Also I'm not from the US so. lol
@@AlexMcMonnies A Possible alternative from Sorkin to watch would be The Newsroom. Only 3 seasons so less of a commitment. Only thing is I don't know how it holds up culturally/politically these days since it came out 10 years ago. But I remember the writing being excellent, and my two favorite characters on that show have strong Jim and Pam vibes.
I’ve worked in nightclubs for the past six years and I can promise you that the nightclub scene in the Social Network is the most realistic represent of a club I’ve ever seen. The volume, the lights, the atmosphere, bang on.
Yuhp... Succession has the same vibes. Just a bunch of people talking, to normal people, half of it is gibberish, yet somehow it all works out to be the best series to come out in the last ten years.
@barbywithapostit too many to mention. Boar on the floor. Shiv’s mom saying she basically didn’t want them. Logan mocking them. Connor’s wedding as a whole. Roman’s conversation with Maddison at the retreat thing after Logan’s death. Love it.
Binging your videos now, and every single one has me grinning. As others have said, you’ve captured the same vibe as the DVD featurettes from back in the day. Thank you for filling that niche!
What a treat - not every day that RUclips serves up a top-notch channel with a not-yet-massive audience! Great analysis and discussion, look forward to hearing more from you! (Couldn't agree more, this movie and Few Good Men are two of my all-time favorites; it's because I am a sucker for impeccable dialogue and NO ONE does it like Sorkin. I had to laugh at his brief comment you included about improv, you could practically see his disgust at the idea of anyone improvising his script!)
The social network is really one of the most perfect movies, it got the best of the best out of everyone. But, I want to give more appreciation to Jesse Eisenberg's performance here, because we heard from Fincher's commentary, that he liked to emphasize the importance on getting Mark's character right, therefore, he focused on capturing all of Jesse's micro-expression and his reaction. And, boy, he freaking delivered, for me personally, his performance is one of the reasons why this movie is so rewatchable. Seeing his reaction and cataloguing what he actually thinks in his mind is so fun. One of my favs is when erica got his ego crushed into pieces the moment she asked him 'the easiest club to get into'. And I genuinely think that Jesse deserves the Oscar for it, he played a character that is far from flashy, his performance could be overlooked and it depends a lot on subtlety, but it is actually very hard to play a person who is emotionally detached, distant, superior but also inferior, while making it real and human.
i watched The Social Network on a school movie trip and everyone was laughing at the movie but i really enjoyed it. i rewatched it about 5 years later and it did feel like an "action movie" but you have to pay attention to be able to appreciate this film which i feel like people don't like to do anymore. i don't even mean to be offensive, it's just how it is i think. i can see by what movies and especially TV series are trending that 80%+ of them is stuff i imagine people just play in the background so they can be up do date.
It probably helps that this is focused in on something very specific, and can be more thorough, whereas a class on something like that has to cover a wider scope
I like the emphasis on acting and reacting capturing those moments the art of the dialogue is very interesting in itself but knowing how to capture the whole experience, with soundtrack, cameras and editing thats art.
I know this is all about dialogue, but I love seeing how much of a role color grading plays in a final product. As shot, the early bar scenes are so much more brightly lit than what we get in the end. Sorkin has become a bit of a byword for schmaltz and Capra-esque dialogue in more recent years, but his Oscar was well deserved for The Social Network. (And this film was robbed of Best Picture by the totally-good-but-hardly-best-film-of-the-year King's Speech).
This dialogue is so fantastic that I often struggle on an personally deep internal level. I live with ADHD, ASD, and extreme CPTSD, and Sorkin is at a pace that is coming to close to mt own actual dialogue speaking patterns n pace. The reality is too close. Its brilliant
Pacing in this film is amazing. I thought I’d been watching for 45 minutes, and it had been an hour and 45 minutes. I wasn’t bored at any single point and could clearly understand every single bit of dialogue, even if it was muffled or there were rapid cuts because they made it thriller like- I was always gripped and focused completely on what was happening.
Anybody watching this just before they watch The Killer that came out today on Netflix? FINCHER IS BACK! My favorite director of all time. Great video btw. Social Network is a masterpiece, Sorkin + Fincher make a dreamteam!
The "novelty" of two actors actually having a conversation without having to break down the cameras and lights to reset from one side to the other just makes me want to say... that's what actors do on stage in theater. Show after show, multiple times a week. Can more movies shoot like this please? Actors making eye contact and playing off of each other isn't "new" or "revolutionary". It should be the norm. Thank you David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin for using it in many of your films.
i watch this film every year and I just can't get enough. the war of words might be my favourite conflict in a film, over the most boombastic action sequences. Getting harder to come by these days ;)
this might just be one of the greatest movies of all time. fincher takes a movie with no visual stunts at all besides the rowing, (which tbh isn't really that entertaining) and makes it so interesting and the viewer is so invested in a movie about a couple of law suits and a company starting. andrew and jesse possibly both give their best performances and i love every second of this film.
Huh… I am a pretty big stickler for continuity. So all the mistakes from 3 billion dollar movies like Endgame stick out to me, but was surprised at out smooth this film was at many times. I can’t believe I never realised it was just more than one pov being recorded simultaneously, and editors just switching between the takes. Really cool. Probably insanely expensive and hard to convince companies to do.
That Tenet clip exemplifying unintelligible dialogue was hilarious. The fact that the soldier sounded Scottish made it even more likely that American audiences won't understand a single word, even if the sound *was* balanced properly!
When I first saw this movie around when it came out, I saw it as a movie about the geniuses that made something that was amazing. Now when I watch it, I see a movie about the people who helped destroy the world. It's amazing that the same movie could and did convey both of those messages so clearly to me. It's really an excellent film.
this was the best video i've watched this week, very happy it popped into my recommendations! my favorite movie of all time, subscribed to your channel immediately after i finished it. thank you for this :)
I'm not gonna lie I think about this movie so much, even so many years after first seeing it. The score, the script, it being mostly true to life. It's just everything. This movie, Steve Jobs, and Oppenheimer I think about so much. Guess I'm a fan of drama dialogue and good soundtracks lol.
That last thing Eisenberg says in the video is so bittersweet. He said it was the most fun he ever had acting at one point in the video, and it's his reaction to the emptiness of knowing the scene is done forever
It's possibly my favorite movie. When it won best editing, my family commented that it made sense because of the way it plays with cutting back and forth in the timeline and I told them no, it won best editing because of that opening scene.
FRIENDLY TIP! For amazing funny "hidden gem" dialog, check out the show "Mr In-between", a relatively short show that has the most natural talk I have experienced in any show or film before
This movie and Steve Jobs have some of the best dialogue ever, I don’t remember the name of the scriptwriter but it has a rítmic sense to it, makes it so good Edit: it’s Aaron sorkin
Sorkin is probably the go-to example for this, but who else comes to mind when you think of directors/writers who make dialogue feel that little bit more exciting???
Quentin Tarantino
Alfred Hitchcock, for that feeling that at any time the characters might snap and reveal something unspoken.
Nolan made me feel this way with Oppenheimer
Nora Ephron
David Mamet (Glengarry Glen Ross)
That bit at the end of Jesse Eisenberg realising he doesn't have anymore dialogue left to do is hilarious

David Fincher is the most brilliant director of our time. I will watch anything he does and love it immensely.

Why don’t you like Jesse Eisenberg?

its fincher's best in my opinion
My friends who’ve nvr watched it b like Oh it’s just a movie about Facebook. And my response is always, No it isn’t.

Great video, gave me huge Every Frame a Painting vibe. Keep it up!
This is one of my favorite movies
scene it changed my life.
The blank check pod is doing Da Finchman rn and this is the perf video to watch after listening to their social network episode
i absolute loved this movie
Wow, captivating video. Thanks for the great work!
The social network is my comfort movie.
David fincher is probably my Favourite Director of this generation ❤❤
For me it’s Denis Villenueve but Fincher is there too
Sorkin the legend
Great Vid!
thanks buddy :)
this is art in pure form
Incredibly well done mate!
David Fincher....the name rings a bell 😊
great that i found a person who pointed how remarkable Fincher's movies are.
i doubt i will see something good in future anymore...
Awesome video I gotta go watch some more fincher movies
It's possibly my favorite movie. When it won best editing, my family commented that it made sense because of the way it plays with cutting back and forth in the timeline and I told them no, it won best editing because of that opening scene.
It’s because Aaron working is a dialogue God
Sorkin's dialogue writing is on another level
I see what you did with the pace of the editing here!
Nice content, tho
The dialogue in Oppenheimer is definitely fitting of this idea you've got here
wow I had no idea that this was how they did it. That is true movie art!
fine I'll watch The Social Network again
Splendid analysis
FRIENDLY TIP!
For amazing funny "hidden gem" dialog, check out the show "Mr In-between", a relatively short show that has the most natural talk I have experienced in any show or film before
Everything is a secret society, you are just proving you as an individual understand one, congratulations, one round of applause.
Farkinng hell ! That was an awesome watch
I definitely didn't like this movie but I liked the directorial/editorial breakdown in this video
YESSSS THANK YOU FOR YOUR CHANNEL I LOVE YOUR TASTEDE
This movie and Steve Jobs have some of the best dialogue ever, I don’t remember the name of the scriptwriter but it has a rítmic sense to it, makes it so good
Edit: it’s Aaron sorkin
amazing breakdown. loved it
The insistence on cross coverage reminds me of how Chris Storer directs The Bear.
wait... am I a huge David Fincher fan and didn't even know!
brilliant and revolutionary! ...never heard of it🤔
This is a very good essay
