This weekend I went to see the movie The Social Network. The movie is about the creation of facebook. Facebook was created one night at Harvard University by a drunken freshman that was mad at his girlfriend. He first created a website called face mash where you would rate people’s attractiveness in comparison to each other. After his genius broke into Harvard’s IT system, two upperclassmen found him and asked him to be the programmer for this website they wanted to launch which was social networking for Harvard students only. Mark Zuckerberg (the creator of facebook) took their idea and turned facebook into what it is today.
In the process of taking these guys idea, he also had his best friend invest a large sum of money into the company and later kicked him out.
The filming of this movie was great. It was never confusing and always interesting. The unfortunate thing about this movie is the truth about how much of a jerk Mark Zuckerberg really is as well as the creator of Napster. It is sad that these people who create such great inventions have to be so rude and such elitist snobs.
Overall the movie was good, not one of my favorites but I would definitely recommend it to anyone searching for any form of entertainment.
On another note, I went to Thursday Night Live again this week because my friend Mary was performing. She sang five songs and played guitar. She was great, and she dedicated a Backstreet Boys song (You Are My Fire) to everyone on the floor that went to support her. Another one of my favorites she sang was Stormy Weather by Billie Holliday. It is such a nice peaceful song and it was in such a peaceful setting. She sang a duet with a guy named Anthony called Say Hello by Rosie Thomas and Sufijan Stevens. This Thursday Night Live was by FAR better than the previous one I went to. It was the perfect day to sit in a nice café and listen to music. It was cold and dreary while the café was warm and lovely.
