The Social Network

Ok so, seeing as I'm quite a bit tired today and feeling forced to kinda post SOMETHING on my blog to give you guys something to read, I felt like posting something about facebook - the movie!

I'm not going to post a whole lot of spoilers, but there will be a slight few.. If you havent seen the movie yet, I can easily recommend it though! It's a fantastic movie which gives a lot to talk about afterwards as well!

The founder of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, has finally revealed in an interview, which parts of the movie he finds to be truth and which are wild guesses and fantasy from the scripters side.. Amongst the things he found very impressive were the fact that all the clothes the actor acting Mark Zuckerberg was wearing were identical to clothes that the real Mark has in his drawer! Now that's quite a lot of homework someone's been doing there.. I'd suffice it to say it's a bit scary don't you think? Knowing all the clothing details? Hmmm! I'll let you decide what to think about this one ;)

A really big deal in the movie is the motivation that made Mark create Facebook.. In the movie, [SMALL SPOILER] he does it mainly for popularity and girls! Lots and lots of girls! I could agree that that is a valid point of view and could have been a possibility if it wasn't because the real Mark Zuckerberg already had a girlfriend at the time he started creating facebook, and he still has her today.. This concludes that girls was really not a motivation in the making of Facebook, but rather the fact that he wanted to create something new and innovative.. Something that would change the world!

So have you guys seen the movie yet? If so, what do you think about it? If not, are you going to see it?

  4. He stated in an interview that he did it for his immense need to "create something new" :P I can imagine the money's good too... (LOL several billion dollars if only he'd sell the site :P)

  5. Well.. I am definetily going to see the movie. I don’t believe it is based 100% on the truth, but it should be a good movie.

    Except from this, I don’t believe Mark Zuckerberg knew that Facebook would be popular at the time he made the site.

  7. Really want to watch it. Mark's girlfriend in real life is rather unattractive though.
