Social Network (2010)

The film depicts the Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg ‘s transformation from a nerdy collage student to a ruthless businessman, it is a story of friendship and betrayal. After his girlfriend left, he created the website in order to take revenges. He got inspiration from Winklevoss brothers and created Facebook with his friend Eduardo. As the their financial  problems came up, conflicts raised up between them. The development of the film follows patterns of drama, it works perfectly, it caught audience’s attention.  The actors have amazing performances. However, when I saw this film, I was expecting a biography, I am interested on his real story and real life instead of dramas. I was curious about the truth behind the film. Since it is not a biography, the stories may or may not entirely based on truth. The film is based on the book written by Ben Mezrich. When real Mark Zuckerberg responced in a interview, he said that is a fiction from the beginning, it tells  the most interesting stories that people want to see, and he won’t agree everything with the book, but he agreed that the book is serious journalism.
