The Quick Analysis

Blackberry takes many cues from The Social Network in its exploration of an Internet-age tech founder. The latter film focused on a depiction of Mark Zuckerberg that leaned into the irony of someone who couldn’t maintain friendships or romantic relationships creating a platform meant to facilitate those very things. Blackberry uses Mike Lazaridis to document the erosion of idealism in a corporate environment. Mike begins Blackberry in a place where quality is paramount. But over the course of the film the many forces that make up the business world serve to corrupt Mike’s values, leaving him, much like Zuckerberg in The Social Network, at a poetic low of simultaneously having everything and nothing.
