...About The Social Network

Image from here
I know what you're thinking "She doesn't even like Facebook!"

So what was I doing watching a movie all about Facebook? There wasn't any movie that I was dying to watch and the other half wants to watch it. So there, zip it.

The movie was not what I expected. Well, actually I wasn't expecting anything because I didn't know what it was about in the first place other than the fact that it's about the founder.

Here's what I think. Mark Zuckerberg was an asshole when the Facebook started. Don't know his behaviour now, but he sure was one when he started. This nerd wasn't after money, he was after recognition, status and most website hits record.

He was blinded by his ambitions, looked up to the wrong people and hurt his friend. He's also a liar, backstabber, ungrateful and arrogant.

Well, I don't know what he's really like in person, but that's what he's depicted as in the movie.

I dislike Facebook even more now.

I wonder if he's still friends with Eduardo?

You know it's a mostly fictionalised account of how Facebook came about right?

Diyana said...

Too many to name - but Zuck does has a real-life Chinese girlfriend.

Diyana said...

cehhhh, the suing thing also not true? in the movie it's his friend who has a chinky gf.

Suing thing? If memory serves, 4 ppl were the founding members of Facebook but Zuck initially only shared the smaller portion of the shares (less than 49%) with only 3 including himself. So the fourth member sued Zuck of shares, ended up with bout 5% or so....

That guy who founded napster owns another big chunk of the other 51%...

Could be wrong though but that's what I remember.
