The Social Network (28/10/10)

You have to concentrate when you watch this movie. Right from the start, you'll be thrown into a setting with Mark chats with his girlfriend, Erica, and shows how he is such an asshole in the way he speaks. He speaks so fast right from the start till the end of the movie. He is detailed with his description of what he wants and corrects people. He is ultimately a genius.
Lots of dialogue wavering between him and Eduardo, his friends, enemies, lawyers and judge. This movie takes place in a court setting where it shows how his best friend, Eduardo, the fell out with Mark and Sean, the founder of Napster gets involve with Facebook. It was really a pity for Eduardo to be left out of the company. He quit his intern on the first day to move over with Mark and the company, but however that was already too late. Sean had impressed Mark and took over Eduardo's job. Eduardo had to freeze the money account he invested in the company and that's when Mark, saw that he can have life with Sean instead of Eduardo.
Its a really inspiring movie, especially for all IT professionals and entrepreneurs. And this is the first film that I've seen that comes from on the IT industry. I hope there would be more. Of course since its a movie, lots of stuff are exaggerated and not exactly true.
At the end of the movie, you wouldn't have thought it was the end, I expected more, like how did Mark handle it after the police case Sean had with drugs. It ends of with Mark repeatedly refreshing his facebook after adding Erica, his ex-girlfriend as friend. I'll go with everyone, giving it 4/5. It seems like a 2.5 hours movie squeezed into slightly below 2 hours. No one should miss this movie.
