By now you know there's a movie about the origins of Facebook. It's called The Social Network. I saw it a few days ago.  It is the best movie I have ever seen., The movie is pretty brilliant for the first hour.  It’s fascinating to see what Facebook started off as.  As presented by the movie I read it as a nerd’s revenge on “social clubs”, which I gather is Harvard’s version of frats and sororities.
There is no thrilling actions, no exciting adventures, no comedic acts, but still this movie is able to give us everything we want to know on the origin of Facebook and its creator, Mark Zuckerberg. The artists casted for this film are incredibly good in their acting performances, especially Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg and Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin.


Mainly, the stories told from the film are real, and this is how it can impacts the audiences so deep that we tend to have the same feeling with the real people, Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, and some other notable people behind Facebook. We do not only know how to enjoy Facebook, but from this movie, we also do learn the hardship by these people in creating the site, and knowing the fact that ‘you don’t get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies‘ (the phrase on the movie poster) And I like the phrase given to Mark, ‘you are not an asshole, you just trying very hard to be’ at the end of the movie.



I enjoy non-fiction more than fiction, and this had just the right mix of both. so basically, this movie is my type and i enjoyed every scene in it :)
