Movie review : The Social Network

I finally downloaded and watched The Social Network. Thumbs down! Entertaining with good acting but the story is total fiction. You can make a good fictional movie about a similar situation or you can make a documentary about the facts but telling a real story about real people and making everything else up is just spreading false information and confusing people.

I think the Facebook story is a good reality check though. Plenty of smart capable people out there with good ideas. Our society doesn't reward the best, the brightest or the ones trying the hardest. The ones who make it big are the people in the right place at the right time, not necessarily the ones with the best or most original idea. Zuckerberg didnt invent the social network and (eerily like Bill Gates) he stole the idea to use colleges to make it popular. What he did do is spot an opportunity and exploited it before anyone else.  He was able to do that because he was living. breathing and involved with the issues he capitalized on. The popular upperclassmen that had the idea first didnt jump on it like Zuckerberg because they didnt "need" it, weren't "suffering" and thus it wasnt a priority like it was for Zuckerberg. Life is suffering and through suffering one finds the proper motivation to be in the place where one gets their chance. If you arnt suffering, then you arnt properly motivated and you are going to miss inspiration and the opportunity it brings your way
