Three Movie - 2010

The Social Network (dir. David Fincher) chronicles the founding of Facebook by Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg). The film interweaves two depositions—one with his former friend Eduardo Saverin, another with the Winklevoss twins—to reveal how Zuckerberg’s obsessive coding and social insecurity lead to creation of a global platform, even as it destroys his personal relationships and moral compass.

Black Swan (dir. Darren Aronofsky) centers on Nina Sayers (Natalie Portman), a repressed ballet dancer in a New York City company.

This paper argues that the films of 2010 collectively function as a triptych of the fractured self, using distinct formal techniques to illustrate that the modern pursuit of perfection is inherently destabilizing.
