The Social Network

I liked this movie. I didn't understand the legal parts until after the movie ended and I had some time to think it over, but I still enjoyed it. It's kind of weird thinking of Facebook as something someone created relatively recently rather than just a convenient thing that has always existed and always will. Though the movie was inaccurate(says the Blogger who knows nothing about the origins of Facebook)it was still a good movie. Let me stress this: It was a good MOVIE, not: It was a very accurate documentary about Facebook and the people who created and helped make it happen. I could whine about how "The Directors made everything up" or something like that, but I won't. By and large I watch movies for to be entertained, no one ever said The Social network was a documentary. In fact, I looked up the movie on Wikipedia and the first line is: The Social Network is a 2010 drama film about the founding of the social networking website Facebook and the resulting lawsuits. Anyway, The Social network is a good movie. There was one part I found really funny(even though no one probably intended it to be). The part where they make a big deal about how Mark's friend made a chicken eat chicken soup and called it "forced cannibalism". I'm pretty sure no one shoved chicken down the chicken's throat, I don't think it even cared what it was eating just as long as it was small enough to fit in it's beak.
