I don’t think that people realize just how iconic this movie is. When Facebook was in its fledgling stages social media was just starting to emerge and it wasn’t until this site launched that the craze really got out of control. Now, you can get a job in social media, and most people spend a good amount of their time trolling numerous sites. I have heard lectures on how to use it, and been handed books on how it is redefining marketing. Not to mention, recently been living it through my copy writing job, where part of my time is devoted to writing Facebook posts.
So for me, and many other youths of 21st century, social media is defining our age. One that probably should be aptly named the social media craze because, as much as we each pretend like we hate the damn things, truth is without them, and Facebook specifically, we would have no clue what to do with ourselves. The genius of Facebook in particular is that it is the main source of news on the best topic, people we know. What could be more interesting and more important?
People I recommended this movie to mostly came away saying that the dialogue was too fast and hard to follow and that Mark Zutterberg was a douche. First off, the rapid fire dialogue was prefect because that is our society, especially online.Everything is moving a million miles a minute. Secondly, even though he may be
a jerk, I was always rooting for him. Jesse Eisenburg does a good job of being a confused teenager, who doesn’t fit in and just wants to be somebody. I mean don’t we all? I don’t know anyone who hasn’t made it to the top by pushing some people down. That is our world people, and if you don’t think so you are incredibly niave. I’m not saying its right, but come on, what were you expecting?
Noteworthy: The soundtrack could not have been more perfect for this movie. It was simple, with drops of notes highlighting events. It was modern. It was like facebook. No fuss, straight and to the point.
