Screenplay Review: The Social Network.

Reading bad scripts can bog you down and lately it was kind of depressing me. I always want stories to succeed and it annoys me when they don’t. But every once in a while you get a script that just knocks you off your feet. I’m not just talking from a story standpoint, but from an overall quality of writing. I’ve read great stories before that didn’t necessarily need a superior quality of writing. And I’ll be honest, when I first heard a movie was going to be made about Facebook I said to myself, “Umm…what?”

I imagine that would be everyone’s reaction because why is it necessary to make a movie about Facebook? I didn’t see how this could possibly be a good thing. Then Aaron Sorkin came along.
