Harvardo studentų bendrabučiuose gimsta programa, pakeitusi socialinių tinklų veidą. Tačiau tinklo kūrėjų komandą, kurią subūrė bendras tikslas, pakeliui ima skaldyti nesutarimai. Kiekvienam komandos nariui ima rodytis, jog jų nuopelnai nepakankamai įvertinti.
Trumpas siužetas
Vieną 2003 m. naktį Harvardą bebaigiantis kompiuterių programavimo genijus Markas Zakerbergas (akt. Jesse Eisenberg) sėda prie kompiuterio ir ima karštligiškai dirbti: jam kilo idėja. Tiesa, idėjos šaknys ne pačios gražiausios: Marką ką tik paliko mergina ir jis kunkuliuoja pykčiu ant visos moterų giminės. Tačiau pyktį jis išlieja kaip tikras programuotojas - prie kompiuterio. Įkarščio apimtas studentas „blog'ina" ir programuoja. Per naktį Harvardo tinkle atsiranda kandus puslapis, pateikiantis universiteto studenčių nuotraukas ir ironiškai klausiantis, kuri iš jų karštesnė.
Neilgai trukus Markas programą patobulina ir pasaulį išvysta naujas virtualus stebuklas. Per pirmą mėnesį tinkle užsiregistruoja daugiau nei pusė Harvardo universiteto studentų. Su draugų Eduardo (akt. Andrew Garfield) ir Šono (akt. Justin Timberlake) pagalba Marko darbo vaisius netrukus tampa beprotiškai populiarus: virtuali naujovė paplinta po visą pasaulį ir nepraėjus nė šešeriems metams Markas Zakerbergas turi net 500 milijonų draugų.
Jesse Eisenberg vaidmuo Marko Zakerbergo portrete
The Social Network (2010) presents Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) as a self-involved nerd genius in Harvard who wants social acceptance but hasn’t a clue as to how to social interaction really works, either on a date or with his friends. You can get caught up in the “truth” of the details, the portrayals of characters and friendships and personalities, the accusations of theft and betrayal, but The Social Network is not a documentary or a biopic.
Jesse Eisenberg atliktas Markas vaizduojamas kaip nelabai simpatiškas herojus - jaunas Harvardo snobas, turintis krūvą kompleksų, norintis būti ten, kur jo neįsileidžia. Toks tylus garbėtroška, kolekcionuojantis nuoskaudas ir pažeminimus. Nelabai simpatiškas tas herojus - jaunas Harvardo snobas, turintis krūvą kompleksų, norintis būti ten, kur jo neįsileidžia. Natūraliai aktoriaus vaidmuo leidžia žiūrovui stebėti Marko petitybes, ambicijas ir emocinį atsiribojimą nuo kitų žmonių.

Filmo tematika ir motyvacija
This is a story of hubris and ambition, of friendship and jealousy, of class and cultural cache, of success as status and revenge. Is he an asshole, as he’s called out in the first scene, or just trying hard to be one? And does it matter? It’s not so much that he’s an enigma as that he lives his life without culpability, displaying his pettiest impulses without blanching and turning transgressions of conduct into points of pride, and he creates a virtual community where everyone can do the same with only the fear of being defriended as a check.
There are plenty of pop psychology motivations seeded through the film (he created the site initially to impress a girl/to impress the exclusive Harvard clubs/to take revenge on the rich/popular/athletic students/to prove he could do it/to design an exclusive club that he could thrive in) but they explain the protagonist about as much as Rosebud does in Citizen Kane. Fincherio pozicija ir nuomonė apie šiuolaikinį pasaulį - aiški. Žmonės bijo būti savimi. Bijo, jog niekas nesužinos, kad jie yra. Jie sulenda į virtualų pasaulį, supina ten savo milijonus vienatvių ir kompleksų, turi vietelę, kurioje galima paklajoti ir paklysti, būti tuo, kuo norisi būti, pasidžiaugti iliuzija, kad yra reikalingi draugams, kurių niekad gyvenime nepamatys.
Režisūra, scenarijus ir stilius
Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin loves words and conversations and is at his best shaping dialogue for smart people juggling multiple ideas and projects, often within the same sentence. The dialogues are dense and compelling, but just as often are soliloquies tossed out by Zuckerberg to an audience he really doesn’t care to engage with. Idealus dialogų ritmas ir žodžių gausa kuria intensyvų tempą ir verčia sekti kiekvieną frazę.
David Fincher is one of the most exacting filmmakers in the world today and the supplements on the DVD and Blu-ray release offer a glimpse into his process. The story of Fincher doing 99 takes of the opening scene, the conversation between Zuckerberg and Erica (Rooney Mara) that splinters into a break-up, is well known. The actors fill in the details, noting that it was one of the first scenes shot in the production and talking about how Fincher worked through each take, exploring with them to fine tune the scene until it defined their characters and the film.
Vaidyba ir kiti aktoriai
Puikiai suvaidinti visi tie personažai, netikėtai sodrus ir žavus išėjo Justino Timberlake’o Šonas Parkeris - laimės kūdikis, tapęs pilkojo demiurgo kelrode žvaigžde. Armie Hammer, who portrayed the Winklevoss twins, acted alongside body double Josh Pence while his scenes were filmed. His face was later digitally grafted onto Pence's face during post-production, while other scenes used split-screen photography.

Justin Timberlake, preparing for the role of Sean Parker, lost about 8 kg to make his character appear younger. Armie Hammer musėjo išlaikyti didesnę masę, todėl jam reikėjo daug greito maisto. Trevor Wright as B.U. Josh Pence is the body double for Hammer, whose likeness was digitally imposed onto Pence's body. He is listed in the end credits as playing Tyler Winklevoss alongside Hammer, though he also shot scenes as Cameron.
Filmavimo vietos, muzika ir techniniai sprendimai
Principal photography began in October 2009 in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and lasted until November. Additional scenes were shot in California, in the cities of Los Angeles and Pasadena. The indoor rowing scene was filmed at Boston University's indoor rowing tanks. All of BU's blue oars in the scene were repainted to Harvard's crimson color for filming.
On June 1, 2010, it was announced that Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross would score the film. The soundtrack was released September 28 in various formats under the Null Corporation label. The White Stripes' song "Ball and Biscuit" can be heard in the opening of the film and the Beatles' song "Baby, You're a Rich Man" concludes the film. Neither song appears on the soundtrack album.
Priėmimas, apdovanojimai ir komercinė sėkmė
A major commercial success, the film grossed $225 million on a $40 million budget and was widely acclaimed by critics. It was named one of the best films of the year by 447 critics, and named the best by 110 critics, the most of any film that year. At the 83rd Academy Awards, it received eight nominations, including for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Eisenberg, and won for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score, and Best Film Editing.
Roger Ebert... wrote: "David Fincher's film has the rare quality of being not only as smart as its brilliant hero, but in the same way. It is cocksure, impatient, cold, exciting and instinctively perceptive." The Social Network received widespread critical acclaim. On review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of 96% based on 335 reviews, with an average rating of 9/10.

Kontroversijos ir realybės interpretacija
Mark Zuckerberg podobno nie yra zbytnio zadowolony ze sposobu, w jaki został przedstawiony w swej filmowej biografii. Co więcej, co-founder Eduardo Saverin said "the movie was clearly intended to be entertainment and not a fact-based documentary". Sean Parker described the film and its depiction of him as "a morally reprehensible human being" as "a complete work of fiction". Sorkin said, "I don't want my fidelity to be to the truth; I want it to be to storytelling."
Andrew Clark of The Guardian wrote that "there's something insidious about this genre of [docudrama] scriptwriting", wondering if "a 26-year-old businessman really deserves to have his name dragged through the mud in a murky mixture of fact and imagination for the general entertainment of the movie-viewing public?" Sorkin has been upfront about the fact that there are fabrications aplenty lacing the story.
Papildiniai leidimai ir DVD
The Social Network was released on DVD and Blu-ray on January 11, 2011 by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Jesse Eisenberg Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters
Poveikis ir kultūrinė reikšmė
Since its release, The Social Network has inspired involvement in start-ups and social media. Bob Lefsetz has stated that: "watching this movie makes you want to run from the theatre, grab your laptop and build your own empire," noting that The Social Network has helped fuel an emerging perception that "techies have become the new rock stars." This has led Dave Knox to comment that: "fifteen years from now we might just look back and realize this movie inspired our next great generation of entrepreneurs."
XX a. pabaigoje Lietuvoje skraidė sparnuota frazė, reklamuojanti klaikiai storą telefonų knygą: „Jei tavęs nėra čia, tavęs nėra visai.“ XXI a. šią išmintį galima pritaikyti svarbiausiam dešimtmečio išradimui - tinklui, kuris drybso tūkstančiuose serverių ir saugo milijonų piliečių jausmus, skausmus, planus ir paslaptis, taip pat melagystes ir fantazijas, informaciją ir dezinformaciją bei viską, kuo vieni pasaulio piliečiai nori pasidalyti su kitais. Visi nori būti - čia ir dabar, visi nori pranešti apie savo buvimą.
