Review : The Social Network


The Social Network was a very brilliant movie. Maybe it's not the movie, but the movie script that made it brilliant. All the dialogs are so genius. Maybe some people will think that this movie is boring and so full of conversation. But I think this movie was impressing. This movie taught a lot of things, especially if you want to be a businessman or entrepreneur. There will be a lot of things that you will face, that can make your life screws up. But let's face it, the inventor of Facebook, Mark, is one of the richest person in the world and he's still 26. With his success Facebook, I'm sure there are a lot of things that he has been going through. In this movie, I could see that this Facebook that he made ruins his friendship and life. As the time goes, Facebook is getting bigger and bigger and it becomes more complicated. Not only the feature that we can get on Facebook, but also Mark's life. However, it's just a movie based on a novel that Mark didn't write himself, so we don't know if the story is exactly like that or not. But if I were Mark, I would feel a little bit offended because this movie showed that Mark a little bit looked like a jerk. However, I think this movie should win an Oscar at least. And Andrew Garfield, the one who played as Eduardo, I guess he deserves an Oscar too for his role here.


One memorable quote from The Social Network :
You are probably going to be a very successful computer person. But you're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole.
