The Social Network

I recently watched "The Social Network". Here is my review of the movie.

First off I see clearly that Zuckerburg, Zuckerman, whatever that kids name was who started "The Facebook", later named "Facebook", is very arrogant and self-assuming, mainly a little butt if you know what I mean. I kind of understand the concept though...kinda. Someone gives you an idea, they enlighten the light bulbs in your brain, you take it, add more, run with it, and call it all your own. Well he lost the case. He had to pay up to the people he tried to push back, those who helped him grow his huge fortune. On one hand that's a good thing, on the other hand, he already made billions so what did he care to lose some. It was never about money, or so they said.

I guess the end will always justify the means in this world. I say they could have taken it all away from him. Why do I think that? It's just a clear case of business ethics, it's just that simple. He may have been the brains behind the fame, but carrying out business with those sort of ethics isn't legal is it? Clearly the bad intent had to be proved, and it wasn't all together quite that clear. All of them are rich now. Best of luck to "Facebook". Even my Grandma is on Facebook! Geesh! Doesn't everyone want to design such a simple concept that will sweep the world?
