A couple of days ago I saw 'The Social Network'. I obviously knew the theme of the film as I'm glued to Facebook far too much anyway, but I hadn't heard much about how good the film was. I didn't know who directed it, and just about knew who was in it, so I saw it kind of on the off chance.
When I saw that David Fincher was the director I was blown away! He'd previously done some amazing work such 'Fight Club' (1999), 'Se7en' (1995) and Zodiac (2007). I personally thought the film was incredible. The script was really well written and the way the actors seamlessly rolled the dialogue off their tongues was fantastic. It was overall a very well created film.
The cinematography (which was achieved via Jeff Cronenweth, someone who works closely with Fincher, and is also responsible for the cinematography behind Se7en, Fight Club & One Hour Photo) was also fantastic, and probably one of the main reasons I also loved the film. It had that familiar crispness and not too overpowering look (colour wise) that is common in Fincher's work). One scene I can pick out from the top of my head is where there is a large boat race happening, and each shot has been edited with a depth of field blur to give the impression that the characters and surroundings are miniature. Somewhat similar to the video seen HERE.
The scene didn't enhance the story in anyway (it was a sort of arty side to the film), but it just shows how important visuals are to the viewer, as this is a scene that I don't think I will forget in a hurry.
To finish this post, here's the trailer for the film. I definitely recommend you see this film soon!
