The Social Network: Is it discouraging?

Rating: 7/10 (8 June 2014)

While clearly written with a stress on the importance of the hyperbolic idiosyncrasies that define the main character Zuckerburg, the script was also tastefully crafted with underlying, witty humor that was carefully sculpted into something that could get a chuckle from the audience while maintaining the authenticity of the events. This combination of heavily intellectualized prose and the aforementioned dry comedy made for an efficient, yet subtly entertaining film.
The one genuinely overlooked part of this picture that many have failed to assess as a failure is simply the ending. While seeing Zuckerburg refresh again and again in hopes that his old girlfriend will accept his friend request shows the audience that the road to success does not come without lost connections (as mentioned in the film's production poster), it is clear that his success is inspirational and should be mirrored by many young entrepreneurs in today's society. My fear is that with this notion of the creation of enemies, it will discourage the pursuance of dreams and ultimately eliminate any future successful entrepreneurs.
