I was in college then and had my own Facebook account, which I made grudgingly - I was tired of missing party invites and notifications from friends. Facebook was still in its infancy, far removed from what it would eventually become.
In 2010, “The Social Network,” with its egomaniacal antihero, seemed overdramatic, too pessimistic in the way it examined the birth of one of the biggest social media sites. Seen now, “ The Social Network,” about the founding of Facebook and the lawsuits that followed, feels grimly prescient and perhaps representative of how the past few years since the movie premiered - and the past few months of the pandemic - have changed our relationship to social media and each other. Ten years ago, the director David Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin gave us a deliciously scored origin myth to one of the defining online institutions of this generation - and the man (portrayed by Jesse Eisenberg as a fast-talking, sandal-wearing incel) behind it.
