923 Shocking
Classics are bound to stand the test of time. Because it reflects not only a temporary phenomenon, but also a phenomenon of an era, the appearance of all beings precipitated by the culture of the times, and also represents the essence of an era. Even in the long river of history, it will still precipitate the culture of the distant past little by little, which is what makes a classic.
Although "The Social Network" has just been released, under the pen of Aaron Sorkin and the lens of David Fincher, it has unfolded a picture of this era for everyone, which is destined to stand the test of time, because this is the portrayal of this era.
In the course of the film, Edvar Savarin can easily grasp the weak parts of people's hearts. He's not perfect, but in real life, he's much cuter than the perverse Mark Zashiberg. Edvar Savarin is more representative of the norm of this era, he is a universal being, steady and ordinary. Mark Zashiberg will take risks and succeed if he doesn't, but Edvar Savarin will follow the rules and follow the established path, he may not be popular, but he will not make mistakes in every step, and he will definitely achieve something in the way.
Edvar Savarin is actually who we are, studying, working, getting married, and having children...... Every footprint in life has a set rhythm, just on every footprint, because everyone's efforts are different, will produce different results, and that's it. But we are not destined to be Mark Tashiberg, because there are only a few billionaires in the world, and not everyone can challenge it.
Mark Zashiberg aside, Edvar Savarin was also a successful man, an ordinary successful person, not a famous loser. In him, everyone can find their own shadow.
If Edvar Savarin is the embodiment of the modern personality, then Sean Parker is the epitome of the lawless postmodern personality. To put it bluntly, Edvar Savarin studied science, while Sean Parker studied art. Sean Parker, his passion, his madness, his discarding...... All kinds of anti-traditional and anti-authority actions succeeded in resonating with Mark Tashiberg. This led to the split between Mark Tashiberg and Edvar Savarin.
But in fact, Mark Zashiberg is not Sean Parker after all.
Sean Parker is also an IT person, and he has the same sensitive intuition and deep knowledge of computers and the Internet as Mark Zashiberg, which is different from Edvar Savarin, who plays with the economy. The economic and financial world is highly institutionalized and requires caution and discipline, while the computer world is the frontier of the West, and it needs a cowboy who rides a horse and takes risks. Because of this, Mark Zashiberg hit it off with Sean Parker and eventually broke with his only friend, Edvar Savarin.
This is true in his career, but in life, Mark Zashiberg does not agree with Sean Parker's profligate form, and when Sean Parker is drunk and dreaming of death, Mark Zashiberg is still concerned about the computer screen in front of him and his virtual world. In the end, Sean Parker was arrested by the police for being involved in drug problems. Only then did Mark Zashiberg realize that the two men were actually very far apart.
The people around Mark Zashiberg represent tradition, modernity and postmodernity, and only he is a drifter who does not belong to any one era, because everyone else, although they bear the imprint of a different zeitgeist, is still part of the social network. Mark Zashiberg, on the other hand, was outside of society and networks, and he never integrated into the world from beginning to end.
His IQ is inversely proportional to his EQ, he hurt the girls who have a crush on him, hurt the friends who have always tolerated him and took care of him, he became a campus celebrity admired by everyone, he didn't know how to chat with his fans, and the adoring eyes of the crowd made him confused, he tried to follow Sean Parker to choose a postmodern way of life, moved to California, and finally found that he didn't belong there. In court, Mark Tashiberg defended not so much his wealth and power as his last remaining spiritual support, his superior intelligence. His IQ is the only thing he can rely on and comfort, and he wants to overwhelm everyone with his intelligence to fill the emotional emptiness. He is a successful man in his career, a mad genius, but he can never cure his social barriers, and he is always separated from the world by a computer screen.
This is the sadness of Mark Zashiberg, who has no place in the huge social kingdom of Facebook.
At the end of the film, Mark Zashiberg mechanically refreshes the screen, waiting for his ex-girlfriend to apply through his friend, which is his familiar way of dating. But it can't help but make people think of that old topic: does the virtual network world bring us closer or more alienated?
"The Social Network" is a film that has a limited amount of time, but it brings endless food for thought. Which character is he in the film, what is his position in this society, and where is his position in the era when digital codes are rampant in the air. This is a question that David Fincher left to everyone.
The film, written by critics, received almost all the praise, and even those who did not like David Fincher or Aaron Sorkin in the past gave the highest praise to the "social network".
According to the New York Times, "The radiant and highly focused story and unrestrained pace are irresistible, a cynical and entertaining small-budget film." ”
The Associated Press said, "Just as people always browse Facebook more than once a day, viewers find themselves drawn to the 'social network' again and again, and the film easily became one of the best of the year." ”
The Boston Post was full of praise, "The film is simply absurd in terms of shooting techniques." ”
And the "Premiere" magazine gave the highest honor, "The social symbol of this era is like the status of 'earth-shattering conspiracy' and 'graduates' in their time." ”
Forty of the 41 professional reviews that have appeared so far have been given five-star reviews, with the exception of one that has also given a three-star review. This undoubtedly proves that "The Social Network" has easily become one of the best films of the year in the eyes of professionals.
As the first actor in the "social network", Lee Joon-yi once again gathered the focus of all film critics. Looking at the three works released by Lee Joon-yi this year, the "Lunar Eclipse" idol movie, and the "Inception" sci-fi technology wins, it is definitely unrealistic to say that Lee Joon-yi has any amazing performance in acting. But this time is different, such a story of a computer otaku, such a story that attracts global attention, to successfully attract everyone's attention, it undoubtedly requires a deep foundation.
David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin are definitely not to be ignored in the success of The Social Network, but more importantly, Lee Joon-yi almost single-handedly brought the story to life, presenting a complete Mark Tashiberg for everyone. In "Social Network", Lee Joon-yi's light alone runs through almost the entire film. The core, the soul, that's probably it. As a result, all the professional film critics went crazy and went crazy for Lee Joon-yi.
To be honest, the "social network" is not touching, and even exudes a strong dark atmosphere, but Lee Joon-yi's acting skills are so good that people want to cry, and many film critics have praised it: This is definitely a once-in-a-decade stroke of genius, and Yi has dedicated us to the best performance of his career, which can be called the "citizen Kane" of the 21st century, standing proudly in the film forest and shining in the annals of history.
Such praise, although it is not deified, is not far from becoming a god.
Last year, Lee Joon-yi successively amazed the world with his acting skills in "The Hangover", "Five Hundred Days with Shamo", and "Single Man", and was called one of the ten youngest Oscar finalists. This year, leaving aside the previous two films, Lee Joon-yi once again made a breakthrough in "social networks" and received comprehensive praise.
In a sea of overwhelming praise, the New York Times delivered a highly positive commentary.
What is even more amazing is that between Yi's handsome eyebrows, the seemingly unchanged brow is deeply locked, but it reveals too much information, innocent, greedy, struggling, indifferent, contemplative, disdainful, confused, ambitious...... This kind of emotional fluctuations, this complex mental activity, is just an action, and it is presented one by one with such precision. Such a rich expressiveness but without losing a strong emotional impact, it has evolved into a strong aura in the middle and later stages. This kind of aura is "emanated", not acted, which is out of the category of acting. At the moment, Lee Joon-yi is Mark Tashiberg, and he makes us believe in this character. And this ability, which is simply unimaginably shocking in an astringent performance, is called genius.
In the "single man", Yi's eyes have successfully touched the hearts of countless people, just a glance and a look, it affects everyone's hearts;
This performance is enough to make Yi famous in history.
The comments of the "New York Times" almost wrote all the compliments that could be thought of, and what is even more amazing is that this time the critical film critics have almost no voice to refute, and some people even think that the "New York Times" comments are too conservative, and they prefer to make Lee Joon-yi's performance "the most outstanding performance since 2010, there is no one", "This is a once-in-a-decade surprise, unique", the film critics' praise for Lee Joon-yi also sent Lee Joon-yi to the throne of the first person in the new generation of acting.
