The Social Network




Maybe defining Facebook is a discussion that could take hours, but I'm pretty sure that most of people would agree that Facebook is, at least, a very good idea. This film is a story (not The story) of how this idea become something that now is being used for 500 million people all over the world.

From my point of view, the most fascinating part of the film is not the dispute between Zuckerberg and the Winklevoss twins about plagiarism neither the one between Zuckerberg and his once best fried Eduardo Saverin about sharing the power in Facebook (and how business (or obsesion) can destroy friendship). I think that the most interesting part of the movie is how a cloud of different ideas floating around in the students' environment at Harvard can converge to a brilliant idea. My bottom line would be: for having a good idea, what's going on in your brain is at least as important as what's going on outside. So, no more myths about lonely genius.
