The social network - Movie review

Mark Zuckerberg profile:
People who arent social if can start social network , this guy could start dating site as well :)
Hobbies : Cheating, Backstabbing, Hacking
Relationship status : Always single
Friends: Fiend I know which is myself , what is "friends"?
About me : Not very social, not likeable. Rowing gentlemen twins roared at me saying I stole their Harvard idea and made it as facemash. My dating skills were stolen for movie "How to loose a guy in 10 days".
Moral : Usually guys get drunk and that results in breakup. And then after breakup they leave to lap dance. Here, this guy gets dumped , gets drunk and then blogs about girlfriend's bra size and mocks about her family name and gets dumped forever and by everybody.
The facebook guy pays the price for lack of communication and social skills for the fear of facing jury. :)

Winklevoss Twins Profile :
If someone is avoiding mails and calls confront him and attack his hard drive.:)
Hobbies : Rowing, Suing, Memorizing harvard law and Crimson :)
Relationship status: Is that a trick question? Read "about me" section.
Friends: Harvard Indians :)
About me : Ben Affleck looks , Athletic build and 6' 5" and Olympian, Harvard & Oxford university tags, Porc club, Affluent background  :)
Moral : Fighting with the system by staying in the system never works. If President of Harvard University mocks at you and at your case and complaint, take it as good sign, you are going to get 65 million dollars for intellectual property which wasn't even patented.
No matter what gentleman you are, whether Harvard gentleman or commonman , always get patent for your ideas and always sign a contract . :)

Eduardo Saverin :
Hobbies : Dressing up, Investing in oil and internet

Relationship status: On and Off , starts in restroom and ends in bedroom :)

Friends : Everyone other than Shawn Parker

About me : I may be economics major, but I will sign a contract which would allow partners to dilute my shares and I may be the Co-founder but I dont know how to change my relationship status and when my name is taken out from site.

Moral: There is nothing like "sleeping partner" or "CFO" or long distant relationship.:) Read any document and any contract before you sign. Always keep friendship and business separate.

Feeding chicken to chicken isn't a good idea even if it is kosher. :)

Sean Parker aka TheDoucheMongler : 

Hobbies :  Backstabbing, Cheating, Hacking - same as Mark except he is a Harvard dropout and I am a school dropout :)

Relationship status: Hi in the evening and bye in the morning with gals and ends with "bye and lawsuit" from business partners.

Friends : All brainy ones 

About me : I am techie version of actor-rapper Mark Wahleburg.  Drugs, prison time, community service for drugs, hacking :)

Moral : Trying too hard to be too cool is not a good idea. Dropping "the" from "thefacebook" isnt Einsteiny. And difference between millions and billions isnt just "M" and "B" but  also some zeroes. You are one of the co-founders of Napster and Facebook and Plaxo but if it wasn't Mark Zuckerburg, Shawn Fanning, Ram shriram - Where would you be ? What would have been your contribution?
Clinging to brainy ones isnt the only success formula and it doesnt work always.

Movie starts off with Mark's admiration and reverence for the Chinese and China and how intelligent they are , too bad China blocked facebook in 2010. :(

Divya Narendra and Sanjay Mavinkurve:
 Does Aaron Sorkin or David Fincher have anything against Indians? Divya's role was underplayed and was played by a non-indian and Sanjay wasnt given good credit as well. Twins just mention that he went and joined google when he was offered to develop harvardconnection [ConnectU] :)

Dating lessons from Mark Zuckerberg: 

How to lose a girl in 10 mins?

- Talk about yourself.

- Talk about how your entry into Final club could be the only chance for your gal to meet highbrow people.

- Blog about bra size of your gal friend after she dumps you

- If a girl is polite and says that she wants to be mere friends, dont take it. Push it.

- Tell the gal that she doesn't need to study because she is in Boston University :)

Favorite quotes:
Sean Parker :   Drop the "the". Just "Facebook". It's cleaner. 
Eduardo Saverin :Sorry, my Prada is at the cleaners, along with my hoodie and my 'fuck you' flip-flops, you pretentious douche bag! ( He doesnt know whether it is just a party or business party for  "1 million users" party and shows up in suit  )
Erica Albright : You are probably going to be a very successful computer person. But you're going to go through life thinking that girls don't like you because you're a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won't be true. It'll be because you're an asshole. 
Marylin : What are you doing?
Mark Zuckerberg: Checking in to see how it's going in Bosnia.
Marylin: Bosnia. They don't have roads, but they have Facebook. 
Erica Albright : All the best for your video game thing ( She doesnt know abt facebook since she is in B.U)
Mark Zuckerberg: I need to do something substantial in order to get the attention of the clubs. 
Erica Albright: Why? 
Mark Zuckerberg: Because they're exclusive and fun, and they lead to a better life. 

Bob: You know, I could swear he was looking at you when he said 'the next Bill Gates could be right in this room'. 
Mark Zuckerberg: I... I doubt it. 
Bob: I showed up late, I don't even know who the speaker was. 
Mark Zuckerberg: It was Bill Gates. 
Bob: Shit, that makes sense. 


1.The director had added enough drama to make a plain "rag to riches" story and "lawsuit settlement" story a good twist and dialogues are real awesome. Is Erica Albright real or fiction? If she is, where is her lawsuit for character assasination?
2.Everyone likes this movie, not just because this is one commonman version of "prettywoman" where "hooker becomes girlfriend of billionaire" or  "impossible is made possible".
To earn money , you dont need to work hard if you can think out of the box. And in America anything is possible. 
3.This is one another "rag to riches" inspirational story, dont look for moral , and dont try to follow the loopholes or rude communication style, as if we dont have enough of that already in real life :)

And definitely dont drink and blog - not all hangover mistakes end up in birth of million dollar ideas:) Install a breathanalyser version software which shall ask you some 13 digit prime number question before you blog or write a angry email to anyone after friday and saturday nites :)

 The hacker Mark Zuckerberg's facebook couldnt handle the hacking of "Pink Chaddi" and when it was attacked and broken into, facebook admin simply deleted the group and deactivated the group admin's account  rather than restoring. And other similar incidents and privacy violations does authenticate the nonsocial nature and rude and non-likeable side of this guy :)

A good storyteller's version of true story with enough drama and awesome script to keep the crowd interested. If you are looking for message , there is no straight answer. Keywords like Billionaire, Harvard, Final club may throw off many ppl as highbrow movie, but it is everyman's everyday life and struggle to fit in crowds we aspire to get into and day-to-day "pretend play" :)
