The Social Network is the true story of Mark Zuckerburg's creation of Facebook, and the "troubles" that come with it. The Social Network takes place during multiple time frames, but the main setting is during the trials in which Mark is being sued by his best fried Eduardo Saverin and the rich prep brothers Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss. However, much of the movie is flashbacks to which Mark explains how Facebook came to be. Surprisingly enough it all started when Mark gets dumped by his girlfriend Erica Albright, and in a drunken outrage he creates a website "Facemash.com". In time Tyle and cameron confront him about creating a Harvard dating site. Mark takes this idea, builds off of it and asks his best friend Eduardo for help in Co-Founding "Facebook".
The Social Network is obviously a drama-esque movie, and I won't lie I'm not a drama fan. This happens to be one of the few movies that doesnt have something blowing up or have me bursting out in laughter that I really enjoyed. I'm going to say right out that I'm not a "Facebook" fanatic, and only go on every so often, but learning the history of it was quite interesting.
All in all,The Social Network is an enjoyable film that deserves atleast one watch.
