Hi everyone!
I enjoyed watching the social network this week. I felt like it was produced very well and gave an accurate depiction of what Mark Zuckerberg was like. While I don’t think he stole the idea from the twins, I do think it was wrong to lead them on saying he would build their website. On top of that, it was gut wrenching to watch what he did to his friend Eduardo. It looked like the fame and money got the best of him and he cut off his only real friend. It was hard to watch that bit.
I made two gifs of my dog. The first one is of her as a puppy, pulling on the leash and wagging her tail. I felt like this could go along with Facebook in its early stages, when Mark Zuckerberg and Eduardo were still friends and they were building the site to be used at different colleges. Facebook was in its youth, just like Lani, and they were both really happy. It seemed like that was the happiest we saw Mark the whole movie.
The next gif is Lani looking around and at me when she’s older. I thought this could be representing how Mark was looking around the room and out the window during the deposition. I also thought her more serious face could represent how Mark became even more serious than he was in the beginning of the film after facebook’s success.
Overall I thought the film was exciting and fun to watch. One critique is that Mark was played with a little more emotion than I think he actually has. Of course I do not know him personally.
