The Social Network
(2010)
I see I've never before commented on the perfection of the long opening scene, Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) working hard to turn a girlfriend (Rooney Mara) into an ex-girlfriend. It's not a flashy scene: a bar, lots of talk, mostly alternating shots of Eisenberg's face and Mara's, but it tells us everything we're going to need to know about the only character whose real-life avatar can't possibly be flattered by his portrayal.And another thing: Mara appears in only a couple of other scenes; what did Fincher see in her that remotely suggested Lisbeth Salander? The guy has Zuckerbergian vision.
