The Social Network Review

The Social Network

The movie The Social Network, is a great movie that tells the story of how the popular social media website Facebook came to be. Many people think that Facebook was simply created by a group of people on an agreement. This tells of the true brutally emotional eventful months before and after the website was created and set up. It captures the emotions of all the people who were involved in the thought process of the set up and works of the website. It also shows Mark's own thoughts on how people treated him, while also clearly showing the thoughts of others that were hurt and manipulated. I think that a major theme would be that it accurately shows the message of nothing comes easy. Mark had to come to make some pretty hard choices that greatly impacted life as he knew it.

I found this movie very interesting to watch, I really liked learning just how the website came to be. One would not think that there would have been so much trouble and such a big ordeal to make the popular website. I really liked how the viewer got to understand how Mark felt about his choices and that he did what he had to do to make himself successful. While the view  of the others showed how they felt betrayal and loss on a big chance.

Personally I love the website Facebook and the original idea, finding someone you just met and have the ability to talk to them online if need be. I always thought that Mark was a sole thinker and creator of Facebook. My personal thoughts on Mark, I agree with what he did. Yes, I would hate him if I were one of his friends but if I were him I would of done the same thing. Many people think he should have done the right thing and share but Mark was the brains of the website and the only one who was able to bring the operating website together. I think he was a smart man who did the best thing for himself and is now a billionaire.
