With all of those quotes, it\’s going to be odd if he wins the Oscar. Frankly I think \”Black Swan\” is a little too weird to win, though maybe \”Inception\” stands a chance?

My thoughts since day 1. Contrary to popular belief, even though i think the movie is \”overrated\” I do not hate it. I thought it was just a bit much ado about nothing and always said that peter Travers quote about \”defining a generation\” — which ugh, that sentiment seemed to get perpetuated down the line — was nonsense.

I also think that it\’s interesting that Fincher says the picture is \”glib\” and a \”movie\” not a \”film\” (obviously one is more estimable).

He\’s right, it\’s about friendship and betrayal and Facebook is a backstory — the disollution of the friendship does not define this generation at all, nor are their any threads in it to support the alienation of \’being online\” is what causes this friendship.

it could have been about the guys who invented the Friendster (which no longer matters, but it too wouldn;t have mattered much).

And then it goes back to my initial frustration. The friendship is ill-defined. I don\’t feel any heartcrushing betrayal at the end. I never felt like these guys were super best friends who would die for one another.

They were college buddies who had a falling out…

Thought that was a great article. Loved Fincher\’s quotes about The Social Network as well.

\”On Social Network, I didn’t really agree with the critics’ praise. It interested me that Social Network was about friendships that dissolved through this thing that promised friendships, but I didn’t think we were ripping the lid off anything. The movie is true to a time and a kind of person, but I was never trying to turn a mirror on a generation.\”

Basically telling critics they\’ve overestimated the film.
