The Social Network

I saw this movie the other night with the full intention that I was going to be bored out of my mind because of the subject matter. The fact is I felt it was a pretty good movie with some very interesting points in between. It is pretty crazy that FaceBook started out with a thousand dollars of loaned money. Aside from the weird twins who were ripped off by the kid Mark, his friend Eduardo, and the crazy girls in the movie, it had a feel that this was nothing of a true to the actual story type movie. Things felt a bit too dramatic to actually be a complete truthful interpretation but that is okay. What I found interesting is how they showed how quickly FaceBook caught on though. To think this kid Mark Zuckerberg started off with his FaceMash website to eventually starting a billion dollar website is pretty crazy. Aside from what happened in the movie it was definitely a portrait of how younger society is consumed with technology like a website profile. The girl the kid Eduardo was going out with tries to burn down his room because he did not change his relationship status................ Yep. It took it a step further when Mark decided to send a friend invitation to his ex-girlfriend while he hits the refresh button again and again to see if she has accepted it. A scathing movie of the times of our fledgling young adults and a young man who literally took an idea and the money and ran with it.
