In a movie full of melodic insults, the line from The Social Network is a hilariously wrong note. hunteryharris writes
Armie Hammer, and a slightly hotter Armie Hammer, in The Social Network. Photo-Illustration: Vulture and Sony Pictures Releasing It’s impossible to pick just one perfect line from The Social Network. This is a movie that seethes, simmers, and boils with derision. The bitterness of one retort infects whatever comes after it until its cup runneth over with harshly lit scowls.
I am fascinated by the things tall, glamorous people do. And here, in this movie, tall glamorous people say things like “Let’s gut the friggin’ nerd,” and they say them seriously. It’s disgusting. It’s unreal! And yet I kind of love that, for how big this script makes its characters, how huge it draws its friendship conflicts, it places something just out of grasp for the beautiful, rich people: a single fuck.
In a movie full of melodic insults, the line is a hilariously wrong note. The movie screeches to a halt in that moment. It’s like hearing nails on a chalkboard or one of those YouTube indie covers of a rap song: I don’t want to hear it because it hurts my ears!
