The Social Network Poster
The social network was better than what I expected. It incorporated betrayal, friendship, politics, and other crap which if it was a book, would be way more interesting. I would like to say I would describe myself as the character of Eduardo. Very loyal and trying to help everyone even if that meant I was not being benefited. SCREW being Nice!!! But on a more nicer note Eduardo did venture off at one point and did his own thing in new York, kudos to him!. 
            Even though Mark (main character) did not see how big Facebook would become I could see by watching the movie that somehow his obsessive behavior would result in a broken friendship reaching its peak. (so young yet so obsessive). In books, there is always a smart bastard that messes up the best relationships they have then reap the consequences. Which how many friends mark had left?  (umm none) oh okay. I rest my case. J  why must people go off on a tangent and create a character on social sites , knowing they have identity issues that are picking at their guts. I mean it's not a crime to not know what life has in store for you; it's okay to be geeky and indulge in Greek myths or love to sit by the lake and reminisce about life (idc that’s cool in my eyes). Can someone tell me where the non-virtual bastards are? Because I find it hard to differentiate between whom is real and who is fake.
            I just felt very bad for mark; he created this wonderful yet dictated website due to him wanting to bash his ex-girlfriend that dumped him. CONSEQUENCE 101: he lost himself in the process. So basically he created a site in which people NEEDED to CONNECT. Why mark just why? Now people have become these online aliens that only can operate on the basis of a website. now I feel the need to conform. This is exactly why I can't go anywhere without my darn phone. sigh!!!!!! On that note: im on fb… bye J

  3. Based on these comments and your ending, I'd say the writer/director did their jobs--they made Mark into a sympathetic or "redeemed" character at the end.

  4. I'm more envious of Mark than sympathetic. He made a multibillion company afterall.
