Social justice

undefined

This week we had to watch the social network on Netflix. I have to admit when I first read the description I thought it would be very boring but as the movie progressed it got very interesting.It starts out with this super smart guy getting dumped. Then him and his friends create a website where they rank how hot a girl is compared to another girl. The one friend(Andrew Garfield) is spectacle of this and doesn’t want him to do it but he ends up giving him the formula anyways. This site then its sent to all the girls on campus and its the big buzz.Then two men that are somewhat rich ask Zuckerberg to create a website that helps Harvard students get girls on social media. Immediately he says he’s in.It keeps flashing back and forth between present and past of what Zuckerberg does and it appears that he has multiple law suits being charged against him. This movie basically describes how Facebook was made, thats what im guessing.In the movie Zuckerberg tricked the dating website guys into thinking that he was making there website but was actually making Facebook for himself.Throughout the movie it is very awesome to see the little details that happens in his life that he puts in the website, just like the little relationship status.When Facebook hit, Mark was the biggest thing on campus getting all the girls for him and his friend and he was getting talked to left and right by people.When Marks friend found out he absolutely lost it and I feel like he lost a lot of trust from him. In this movie I love the actor that plays Mark and the way he says everything on the intellectual scale and the way he presents himself as being the smartest man in the room.

I liked how they took the advice from Napster and we had just watched a documentary on that so I thought that was awesome.Sean parkers story on that documentary was awesome and he also came up with the name Facebook instead of the Facebook, this was his biggest investment in the company.I also liked that Mark and Sean both had there hearts broken in high school and college and because of this went on to make two very successful websites and be very successful individuals. But I think that when Mark really invested in Sean is when the whole thing took a turn for the worst. If he would hav just listened to his CFO then I think this whole aw suit situation could have been avoided very easily .Zuckerbeg ultimately screwed his CFO by taking his shares of the company out if new investors came unmaking Andrew Garfield file a law suit against Mark.

Just reflecting on this whole thing, I just really like the way that the whole movie was put together and the flashbacks and going to the present from there. Facebook is one of the most profitable companies in the world and just seeing how it was created and the whole story behind it is just awesome.

  1. I also agree that Mark Zuckerberg didn’t treat his CFO with the loyalty he deserved. The dishonesty of taking the CFO’s investment shares for new investors. If Mark Zuckerberg wasn’t so selfish he would not have to deal with the lawsuit.

  2. This was a very well written blog! I agree I thought the movie might be a little boring, but after watching it I really enjoyed it. I thought it really captured mark Zuckerberg and what happened in the lawsuit. I give Facebook a lot of respect they created something that started a chain of events that has changed social media for the better.
