The Social Network, a 2010 film, is hailed as a remarkable courtroom thriller that exposed the complexities of Facebook's rise and Mark Zuckerberg's character. However, its screenwriter, Aaron Sorkin, announced plans for a sequel that has raised concerns about tainting the original's legacy. His upcoming film, anticipated for 2024, may shift the focus from Zuckerberg to the implications of Facebook's algorithm on societal issues, particularly the promotion of divisive materials that fuel far-right ideologies. Sorkin's attempt to explore these themes instead of revisiting the initial narrative has sparked mixed reactions among fans and critics.
Sorkin names the 'infinite scroll' as the culprit behind the rise of the far right, and he's not thinking about Zuckerberg's personal life but rather how Facebook affects society.
The Social Network is a timeless and nearly flawless film that's never needed a sequel; its subject matter has become so infamous that any dramatization would be in poor taste.
