Social Network

The Social Network, directed by David Fincher, is interesting to say the least. It is the story of Mark Zuckerberg's hard journey that goes back to the very beginning. Being the computer savy person he is, he gets a reputation that attracts the Winklevosses. They want to design a website that connects Harvard students in a new way. Mark decided to help them, yet he never does. He instead teams up with Eduardo Saverin to create a website now known as Facebook. Sean Parker, creater of Napster, see the website and a light bulb goes off. He wants to use Mark for all the money he can get. Not only is he manipulative but also rude to Eduardo as well. He leads Mark into destruction of his friendship with Eduardo and his life. Mark betrays Eduardo with the contracts which ends in law suits. He sues Mark for all of the money he put into Facebook.  Mark ends up losing a lot of friendships but keeps facebook.

I really liked this movie. It was the so interesting to figure out the origins of something everyone uses everyday. There is so many things that were controversial. In my opinion, Mark did not do anything wrong legally, but morally yes. Everyone knows he took the idea from the Winklevosses; not entirely, but the overall idea, yes. The Winklevosses should have been smarter and made him sign contracts when helping them with their site. What Mark did to Eduardo was wrong, though. He did not give him the recognition he deserved and he should have done away with Sean Parker from the beginning. He was scum. Overall, Mark was being an idiot but due to no papers being signed, he did nothing wrong legally. The Winklevosses did not "patton" the idea.
