The Social Network Movie.

Last night I went to see 'The Social Network' movie. Overall, I thought it was an amazing movie. I'm not sure what genre of movies you enjoy watching but this one was really enjoyable. I'm going to sum up the movie, and then list some interesting things about it. 


 This movie is basically a biography about Facebook. Wait, let me rephrase that.. it's more of a documentary that tells the story about how facebook came about. I'm not really going to give any spoilers away, so I'll just list some things that I, personally, liked about the film. 


 First of all, I loved that it was 100% truth. Right down to the dialogue. My mom told me that they interviewed everybody that was a part of the making of facebook, and who was going to be portrayed in the movie, and they had to remember each and every conversation and moment of their life along the way. I don't know about you, but I love a true story. 

 I also liked that the actors and actresses they chose actually looked like the real people. For instance, this is a comparison between Jesse Eisenberg who plays Mark Zuckerberg (facebook's CEO) in the movie.

  These aren't the best pictures of the two, but I think the people behind the movie did a pretty good job picking their actors.

 Next, is Andrew Garfield who plays Eduardo Saverin (a co-founder of facebook.)

  I think the only main difference between the two is their hair. Other than that, they're practically twins :) 

  Next is Justin Timberlake, who played the part of Sean Parker. Sean Parker was a co-founder of Napster who served as an advisor to facebook and it's first president.
 
It's not the best picture of Justin Timberlake, but again their hair is the main difference.


 This last picture is just a quick comparison of ALL of the main characters and the actors who portrayed them. 

 
 Another thing I liked about the movie is that it was funny also, something that surprised me about the movie was that Brenda Song who plays innocent little rich girl London Tipton in the Disney Family Channel Series known as The Suite Life of Zack and Cody had a role in this movie. She played the girlfriend of Sean Parker (Andrew Garfield.) Except, in this movie, she wasn't exactly little and innocent. Below are two pictures of her in The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and of her in The Social Network movie.

 Anybody spot the differences? Well, I think that's about all I have to say about the movie. I'm just going to write some quick facts about facebook that I learned from the movie, and maybe some quick points about the movie. 


  • Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in the world.
  • Mark Zuckerberg was 20 years old when he invented Facebook (still going to University)
  • Facebook was originally called 'The Facebook'
  • The main color on Facebook is blue because Mark Zuckerberg is partially color blind.
  • Mark Zuckerberg went to Harvard University.
  • As of the year 2010 there are over 500 million Facebook users.
 Well, those are pretty much all of the fun facts that I've got for you guys :) I hope you enjoyed this post, and I'll talk to you soon :)
