Social Network

I think I just watched one of the best movies of the year, if not of all time. The Social Network had the reputaion of a film that would not disappoint. And I would have to agree. I had been wanting to watch it since the release of it in theatres. But of course I don't go to the movies alot, so I just waited til it came out. But watching it was such a delight, and allowed me into the mind of Mark Zuckerberg for a short moment.

When I first started watching it, I thought it was going to be a film that was beyond my understanding. The first part was going so fast it was as if the actors were talking in some other language. But once it slowed down, I was finally able to get into it. I really got into it when I started seeing Mark start on "TheFacebook". And then we see it become just "Facebook" and then see it expand across the globe.

But I am sad and happy that it has been said the film is not all truthful. I'm sad because this movie puts a different impression of Mark in the viewer's head than what Zuckerberg and workers of Facebook claim. They also say that only 40% of the film is actually truthful. But on the other hand, I am glad it has been said that it is untrue because it would suck to be a billionaire and created such a big thing such as Facebook and act like that to get it. And besides, he does look like the type of person to be like that al the time. But I guess you can never know anyone fully.

But it was amazing to watch how something like the great Facebook started with a guy getting drunk and bashing his ex on a blog. And then it progressing to 500 million people worldwide using it and being as addicted to it as I am. And it was also amazing to see a Harvard student become one of the wealthiest people in the world, and youngest wealthiest person in the world may I add.

But like I said, this movie is possibly the best movie I have seen. The actors was great, was the story was awesome, and it was just so great to watch something that I knew everything about and now understand the successful story behind it!

One day I hope to acheive that status! I don't know how or if it is possible. But who knows, it could start with something random like what Mark Zuckerberg did. And who knows, maybe it will start right here on this blog! Anything is possible.
