The social network

This movie is about how Mark Zuckerberg created facebook. It gave me a feeling that it’s like a documentary movie. The frashback made me confused for a while. Maybe I had overrated the movie before I watched it, I felt bored about the story.
Instead of talking about the movie, I would like to talk more about the idea it brings. Facebook is a social network service. Most of the Internet users have an account, even my mum. Then it brings up an argument. Do these kinds of technology pull people together or keep people apart from each other? I use myself as an example, I lost contact with my primary schoolmates for 7 years but we found each other on Facebook and we started hanging out again. In this case, it’s pulling people together. However, in the movie, Mark successfully made a website for people to contact but his ex-best friend asked him a question did he have one friend and Mark couldn’t answer.
Also, this movie made me think of a truth. It’s when people facing issues about huge amount of money, friendship is always less important. It’s really sad but true.
