One of these is not like the others - social network is barely, barely about tech. Just a really good character study of a fictional person if you ask me. Back when it came we thought it showed a version of Mark that was maybe shittier. Turns out social network mark is 100x a better person than what the real one became.

- ge96 3y agoHa it was cool before I learned about web tech I didn't recognize some terms like PHP/wget, but later on with more rewatches I recognized/could read code.
- satvikpendem 3y agoThe Social Network is a brilliant film, but it is in no way realistic. For example, he started dating Priscilla Chan in 2003, before Facebook even started, and married her in 2012. The way the movie presents him is some nerd who made Facebook to get laid, to some degree, even if that wasn't his prime motivation at all. The soundtrack, though, is a banger. It just goes to show that these kinds of movies should be taken with a heavy, heavy grain of salt, as nothing in them requires that they be truthful.
