The Social Network / Rated PG-13 for sex, drugs, rock and roll as well as unreadable computer codes.
The World’s youngest ever billionaire’s story has been told. Look’s easy. Mark Zuckerberg started Facebook on the Harvard Campus in 2003 after being rejected by a girl he had been dating. It took a billion bucks to make him feel better and get over the heartache. TSN is the Oscar nominated film that shows how it all came about. Here’s what happened in a nutshell. Date tells him he is an AH. He calls her a bad name on the internet. He wants to meet new chicks but is shy. He and a pal dream up a way to start a web page where you can check out the babes on line and maybe get to meet them. The idea is put into a reality and is successful. Kind of. Since he is of college age he makes a few bad decisions. Then a few more. He has problems with his pals. Make that pal. He has trouble with would be business partners. There is not much money for the enterprise then later on there is more money than he knew existed. A well made story about the creation of a really big on line phenomena and the consequences to the real life of the folks involved. Double dealing, back stabbing and lots of partying keep the story going till it has no where left to go. So it ends. Well acted and finely directed TSN is a swift moving and witty story of computer coding and big money. Since it has received several preliminary film awards (as of the end of January 2011) it is one of the front runners in the hunt for the upcoming Oscar awards. One of the key roles are a pair of identical twins who are involved early on in the Facebook development period. No suitable ID twins could be found so they are played by a single individual whose face is computer generated over another actors body who appears in the scene. Also of interest is a great line in the movie which mentions famous Harvard attendees. The line will no doubt leave you wondering who the actor/actress is that they are talking about since the question is never answered. Natalie Portman is the answer. Now you know all.
