The Social Network, directed by David Fincher, was released to theaters this year. If you enjoy using Facebook, you will love this movie. The movie was set in 2003 when Facebook came about. As expensive technology became affordable to the majority of people and the internet made it easy to stay in touch with people who were halfway across the world, Harvard undergrad and computer programming wizard Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) launched a website with the potential to change the way people viewed online chat rooms. At the time, Zuckerberg was just six years away from making his first million. But his hearty payday would come at a high price, because despite all of Zuckerberg's wealth and success, his personal life began to suffer as he became marred in legal disputes, and discovered that many of the 500 million people he had friended during his rise to the top were eager to see him fall. The prime enemy of Zuckerberg was his former college buddy, Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield). Saverin’s major financial contributions helped the company sprout and become famous. Meanwhile, the Winklevoss twins (Arnie Hammer and Josh Pence) engage Zuckerberg in a fierce courtroom battle for ownership of Facebook that left many suspecting the young entrepreneur may have let his greed shadow his better judgment.
