The Social Network

The Social Network is a movie about a college student named Mark Zuckerberg who had invented the Facebook we know today. The only reason he created Facebook was because he wasn’t asked to join any of the clubs in Harvard. A leader of a club asked mark to help them make a network called the Harvard connection, which is kind of like Facebook, but mark didn’t steal any codes or anything. His idea was just better. Facebook was invented just for the students at Harvard but since it was so popular he opened it up to a couple more schools in New York and then around the United States and also in Europe. Eduardo Saverin was his best friend at that time. He was the co founder of Facebook and was always there for mark. Mark gets advice from a man that created Napster but someone stool it away from him. Eduardo gets jealous and closes down the Facebook account at the bank creating a huge dilemma. Eduardo signed a contract that was setting him up for disaster. It basically said that he would no longer be paid 35% but now .03%. Eduardo comes back with lawyers and the need to resolve that problem. Mark was the first youngest billionaire in the world. I loved this movie. It was so interesting to know how Facebook was created and the only reason why it was created. One thing I didn’t like was the beginning, it was a little bit confusing but i was able to figure it out by the end. This movie is completely true. Every name, every person, and all the dates. If you’re interested in watching this movie you can watch the trailer here. The Social Network

  1. Actually, Zuckerburg admitted that much of the information in the film is not accurate. Please do more research before you make claims like this on your blog.

  2. When I first saw the commercials for this movie I wasn't very intrigued. I thought that making a movie about Facebook was stupid and pointless. But, I actually ended up seeing The Social Network last weekend. I was pleasantly surprised!It was both funny and interesting. I love this movie!

  3. This movie looks really good and I really want to watch it. It is good to know that it was good so that I do not have to go to the movies and spend $10 for a bad movie. When I saw the commercial from the beginning I was interested in watching this movie and I cant wait to see it.

  4. I saw this movie the day it came out and it was very good! Apparently the creator of facebook did not like this because it made him look bad. I do not blame him! It seemed like what he did to his best friend was a pretty low thing to do. I think that this movie would be liked by a variety of people and it really is interesting. I also think it is interesting how in the movie it started out just for Harvard and eventually made its way to be extremely popular and all around the world.
