Writer: Aaron Sorkin

Aaron Sorkin writes dialogue as competitive argument, with characters who are articulate under pressure and who explain their positions at length while moving. A Few Good Men, The Social Network, Moneyball and Steve Jobs all run on it.

He won the Academy Award for The Social Network, a film that is structurally a deposition, cutting between two legal proceedings and the events they concern.

The criticisms are consistent: every character sounds like him, and the women are frequently written to lose the argument. The Social Network is where the style and the material fit best.
