Mark Zuckerberg

In English Composition, we are currently watching The Social Network, which is a film about how Facebook came to be. Although we are only halfway through the film, there are aspects of it I find rather interesting. The story line is eventful and moves at a quick pace while the protagonist, Mark Zuckerberg, dishes witty remarks to whoever steps in his path. As for the setting, the movie takes place at Harvard University and takes advantage of a beautiful college setting. These components are what I find most interesting throughout the film.

To me, Mark Zuckerberg is by far the most interesting aspect of the movie. I am constantly trying to figure out how his mind works and understand his motives. After seeing how Zuckerberg treats people in this film, I am curious to know if he actually acts like this in person. One thing I do know is that the real Mark Zuckerberg and the actor who plays him, Jesse Eisenberg, do resemble one each other.

The real Mark Zuckerberg is the one on the left. In the movie, Mark Zuckerberg comes off as having poor social skills and constantly makes condescending remarks to others. He expresses his intellectual superiority over the common person, which adds tons of humor to the movie. It's easy to say that the movie would be far less interesting if Zuckerberg were a nicer guy. Hopefully, the real Mark Zuckerberg is friendlier than his cinematic counterpart, but if not, then he surely is an intriguing man.

There are tons of interesting components to the move The Social Network, but if I took the time to explain them, this would be one long blog post. For now, I will continue to take interest in the character or Mark Zuckerberg and analyze him throughout the rest of the film. As of now, the movie has my attention, so hopefully, the ending has the same effect on me.
