The Social Network: Are Those Twins Really Twins?

Facebook is everywhere. Chances are that all of your friends have a Facebook account. There may be one or two that don’t, but you wonder why they don’t when your dad has one.

I wasn’t sure what to expect when I sat down to watch The Social Network but I didn’t expect the movie to portray Facebook co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg as an asshole; the movie showed a selfish Zuckerberg ruthlessly backstabbing his only friend, Eduardo Saverin. It was a bad move on his part, but the way I think of it, he does own the company and did come up with the idea. So he can do whatever the hell he wants, even be a dick.

Facebook is so immensely popular that it just makes sense that there would be a movie made about it. Though the movie shows Zuckerberg negatively, it will have no effect on Facebook’s popularity. I have heard of a couple instances where some people deleted their accounts after watching the movie, but I doubt Zuckerberg will shed any tears over it.

Zuckerman has characterized The Social Network as fiction, and has said that one of the most accurate things about the movie was that they got his clothes right. His response is appropriate as he seems like the kind of guy that wouldn’t like a whole lot and is critical of everything. Frankly, I think he can say and do whatever he wants and he does. Even though he screwed over his best friend, millions of people will continue to use Facebook daily and he will still be a billionaire.

What crossed my mind while watching The Social Network.

1) Are those twins actually twins?

2) Mark Zuckerberg is the nerdiest badass ever.

3) They are for sure twins. You can just tell.

4) Is this movie good enough to see twice in theatres?
