Surprisingly, Social Network the Movie didn't affect me much based on Facebook use. I heard many that have seen the movie are being aware of the Facebook site. Overall rating for the movie, i would give five out of five. For both Jesse Eisenberg and Andrew Garfield, they stand out a lot throughout the movie. They were both terrific actors, just that the turnout of their relationship was sad due how the story went out making those billions of dollars. It was fascinating and quite catchy since it makes you think about how fast and often the internet and networking have evolved. The scenarios of how the Winklevoss twins started "Harvard Connection" with such ambition and having creating an intense rivalry. However, in some parts of the movie, it was a bit too exaggerated, it makes me wonder if it is really based on a true story.
I was also reading this article where dozens of people stopped going on Facebook, especially the older men and women. The youngster ranging from 18-35 that goes on Facebook increased after watching the Social Network. It seems there are many negative comments about the movie itself. I, myself find the movie pretty entertaining dealing with their experience of making social network work as a success on the computer.

Hey i also agree with you I also watched the movie and found it very interesting but it didn't affect me in any negative way. i am still using facebook as regularly as i use to. The movie did show the success of computer in today's world which is very true.
ReplyDeleteInteresting... I have to say that I started using Facebook a lot mire for some reason not exactly sure why though, it's definitely not because I all of a sudden like Facebook but it may be because i really liked the movie but like you said I don't know how much of it was based on the truth
ReplyDeleteI was so touched that the strong bond between Eduardo and Mark was severed all because of Mark's determination to see Facebook excel at any cost - even if it was at the expense of losing his dear friend, Eduardo, who was always there for him. Unlike you, the movie, Facebook, did affect me in terms of my usage of it. I don't use it as much as I used to because this is another case of someone climbing to the top and not caring who he steps on along the way. I just don't understand why Mark Zuckerberg would betray Eduardo after everything Eduardo had done for him. I guess the reason the older folks don't use it as much is because they view Mark's actions as the ultimate betrayal - I viewed it as such.
