The Social Network on My Eye
A Harvard computer programming genius, Mark Zuckerberg, sat down in front of his computer, typed codes and created the social web site which would soon be in fame as Facebook.Later Mark was sued by two brothers, the Winklevo twins who declared he stole their idea about Facebook, and Eduardo Saverin who was the best friend of him.The Social Network tells us the establishment of Facebook through main characters’ memories.This film was directed by David Fincher and had 8 nominations.And it won 3 awards of them for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Score and Best Editing on 83rd Academy Awards.
In film, Mark Zuckerberg is lucky.He has talent and ability to achieve his ambition, founding a company by himself and in harmony with Sean Parker, on the future of Facebook who also a genius, recommended he to meet investors.Sean foreseen Facebook’s potential and did a lot with Mark that good for Facebook.Compared with Eduardo, Sean was more like the CFO of Facebook.
Every corn has two sides; while Mark succeeded he lost his friendship with Eduardo, gained “ahole” and was drawn into the following two law suits.Mark iued new shares of stock, then Eduardo’s share down from 30% to 0.3%.It looked like Mark betrayed Eduardo; but in fact, Eduardo didn’t realize what Facebook means to him, the division of opinion between them.Eduardo did nothing help for Mark and almost killed Facebook except the money he invested.Mark also defended Eduardo about the chicken things.Although the unexpected things landed on Mark, he known what he was doing, for him Facebook went first.He didn’t want anyone ruined Facebook.
The Social Network is based on a book called The Accidental Billionaires: The Foundation of Facebook A Tale of Sex, Money, Genius and Betray (2009) by Ben Mezrich.So in reality, Facebook is not entirely founded like the film is acting.The real set-up proce may only they know.
