The Social Network is a drama about how Facebook was created.  Jesse Eisenberg, who plays, Mark Zuckerberg gets the idea to create Facebook after he creates a similar social website while he was attending Harvard University.  Mark Zuckerberg creates the website Facemash one night after being dumped by his girlfriend and that draws the attention of Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss who want to create a similar website. Zuckerberg agrees to help the Winklevosses with their website but decides to create his own instead with his best friend Eduardo Saverin. When Facebook gets popular on the Harvard campus Tyler and Cameron along with their partner Divya Narendra realize that used their idea to create his own website.  Eduardo wants to start advertising on Facebook so he sets up meetings in New York with potential partners. During the last meeting in Mark and Eduardo meet with Sean Parker, the founder of Napster, and from there he begins helping with Facebook. Sean Parker eventually convinces Zuckerberg tom let Eduardo go from Facebook and then Eduardo sews Zuckerberg for that. The movie goes back and fourth between what happened while Facebook was being created and the two lawsuit depositions against Zuckerburg. I thought the dialogue in this movie was pretty good. I also really liked the acting in this movie, especially how Jesse Eisenberg played Mark Zuckerberg.  Overall I thought The Social Network was a really good movie. Also, the way that they showed the college experience was pretty authentic and I like that because not all movies that are in a college setting aren’t too authentic.
