It is rare that a script writer’s name draws you to a film. But it did, Aaron Sorkin. The man who made the incredible West Wing an intelligent must watch drama with some of the best lines in English script history has also scripted The Social Network. Seconded by the fact that Facebook has become part of a social survival tool rivaled and beaten probably only by the cell phone. With 500 mn nodding their heads it will be difficult to disagree that it is not a hovering influence over our lives.
And to think that interface which has that many millions glued to it was born out of a serious disagreement with a date of a Mark Zuckerburg, that curly haired irreverent whiz kid lad of Harvard. Bored with challenges the campuses had to offer him and his buddy Eduardo Saverin, he goes about cheesing off his girlfriend with repulsive chatter prompting her to dump him and paving the way for his vengeance to channel into a path breaking blog and later an application to quiz electronically, probably the first of the applications which dot FaceBook now.
