The Social Network

This movie just released last weekend and is about the founders of the social-networking website, Facebook. In more detail, "On a fall night in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication. A mere six years and 500 million friends later, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history... but for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal complications."- http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1285016/

I really enjoyed the screen play of this movie. SPOILER. The way the movie was split into two; the arbitration before possible court cases and the back story of how Facebook came to be what it is. Thanks to a decent cast, you really feel like you know these people in which the actors portray. From what I gathered, Mark Zuckerburg is pretty much antisocial since he doesn't care about his friends'. He would just take what they can give and dump them if something goes wrong. In the end, he pretty much paid everyone that wanted to sue him for what he did.
