Custom image featuring David Fincher against a Citizen Kane and John Hughes-themed background
The Social Network is widely appreciated for its masterful storytelling and being one of the most notable cinematic stories of the 21st century. Some might go as far as comparing the film by David Fincher to Orson Welles' Citizen Kane. The film delivered on its lofty expectations, as it was a convergence of two brilliant filmmakers in Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, who examined two buzzy, topical figures in Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook.
Thanks to a central narrative about a modern-day capitalist king who rises to power but destroys his reputation as a decent and honest man, The Social Network drew parallels to Citizen Kane, the Orson Welles film about an eccentric media tycoon and politician. When Time Out magazine asked Fincher about the Kane correlation to The Social Network, the director remarked he "wanted to make the Citizen Kane of John Hughes movies.
