Interesting Facts about a movie

I learned 3 things from this movie that I did not know before the first was:

1. It was based on The Accidental Billionaires which was a book based on the founding of Facebook. During the book Mark Zuckerberg did not talk to the author Ben Mezrich. Ben claims that the book is fiction even though it seems like a non fiction book, most of his sources are from the co founder Eduardo Saverin. In this book it has to deal with a lot of how Facebook comes to be. In the beginning of the book it talks about a few weeks before thefacebook.com. Mark befriends Eduardo and they are not good socially so each of them did something about it. Eduardo joined a Final Club which is the last social club a person could join before graduation, while Mark created a website where girls are ranked on how they looked. But with that website girls got mad and he got in trouble with Harvard Administrative Board. On the other hand some seniors noticed him because they were trying to make a dating site, when they approached Mark and try to convince him but he did not see that the site was right for approaches for thefacebook.com so he just tried it on for himself, and that’s how Facebook got started.

2. The screen writer Aaron Sorkin was not attracted to this movie because it was Facebook he liked it because of the themes that the story had in it. The themes of friendship, loyalty, jealously, class, and power. He got a 14 page proposal from the author or The Accidental Billionaires, Ben Mezrich. He was reading the proposal and on page three he realized that he wanted to do it and that was the fastest thing he ever said yes too.

3.The co-founder Dustin Moskovitz said that the movie focused more on the unimportant things than the important things. He called is a “dramatization of history”. Many of the actually people that were apart of Facebook thought that it was really made for entertainment and not a documentary. I found my second and third interesting facts from Wikipedia.

I think this movie is a drama because it is more of a serious movie not funny, no one dies so it is not a crime movie. It has a plot and it portrayes realistic characters, settings, and life situations. My combination of the movie clips is this:

In this combination of clips in the first clips was with the Eduardo person and his lawyer talking back and forth with a straight face. He talk at a slower pace than his lawyer and I think that this was to show his emotion and how much this was hurting him but he was too proud to cry about it. The lawyer was talking at a neutral voice in a normal pace like an average person would. The camera does not go back in forth frequently. In the second video it was with Mark talking back to a lawyer about how much of attention he would give them. He talks fast like really fast I could barely understand what he was saying. I think that he did that to show how fast he can think and talk and show how he felt towards the lawyer. I put these two clips together because it was like in the first clip Eduardo was blaming Mark and confused on why he did not give him his share of money. In the next clip he is talking back and saying he really does not really care and why is he even talking back to him.
