The Social Network

I saw this film on 18th October at Stratford Picture House

This was a very entertaining film. For a while I thought what unpleasant people these students are. Then I realised these Harvard undergarduates were being portrayed in a similar way to how Oxford and Cambridge men used to be shown (and the active Harvard students were men) - arrogant toffs, arrogant oinks and aspiring middle-class types despised or exploited by both. Maybe that is how things were and are. Most people either grow out of this teenage phase or are pulled out of it by realities. this film showed incredibly clever but immature and selfish young men who unfortunately are in a position to drag their contemporaries and society along the self-obsessed path.
