Afterwards, Albright (not surprisingly) breaks up with him. This dialogue, or lack thereof, is the first indication that Zuckerberg lacks the ability to communicate with other people. In the opening scene, Zuckerberg and his girlfriend, Erica Albright, are having a conversation (or more accurately, she attempts to have a conversation with him), but he repeatedly fails to genuinely listen to her. Understanding Zuckerberg’s character in the film is essential to understanding the film’s portrayal and critique of Generation Y because Zuckerberg functions as a microcosm of that generation. However, this contrast does not privilege the new generation over the old, but rather points out the problematic aspects of the new generation.

Donovan is right that the film contrasts the new, “internet generation,” represented by Mark Zuckerberg and Sean Parker, with the old school generation, represented by Eduardo Saverin and the Winklevoss twins. The structure of the film is that of a biopic, chronicling Mark Zuckerberg as he creates the social networking site, Facebook.

The Social Network is a masterpiece-but its brilliance lies not only in its realistic portrayal of the “internet generation,” which Joseph Donovan notes in his review, but also in its profound critique of this generation.
