Exceptional Film, Only One Flaw

Rating: 9/10 (28 January 2020)

Overall, the movie was very well directed and sophisticated. In fact, the only flaw I found with this movie is that it may have been a bit too sophisticated at times. As someone who is not as technologically savvy as Mark Zuckerberg, I often found it hard to understand what he was talking about. Although I am aware that the reason Jesse Eisenberg's lines (as Mark Zuckerberg) were so advanced in vocabulary was to portray Mark as accurately as possible, it made it hard for viewers such as myself to fully grasp what was going on. Other than that, this film was astounding. It really helped me get to know Mark as more than just the founder of Facebook. When I first learned that we would be watching this film in class, I had very low hopes to be quite honest, as I had never even heard about this movie before. I am glad that I was wrong, and I actually ended up liking this movie very much. It was about more than just the creation of Facebook. It was about friendship and betrayal, as well as supply and demand. In this case, Facebook, allowing its users to connect and interact with one another, is the supply whereas its users' desire to connect with others is the demand. As demand went up, so did the supply, which is what would lead to Mark becoming the youngest billionaire (at that time). Overall, it was an exceptional film and well worth the watch.
