Three nails

The superficial structure is to intersperse and edit what happened in the past and what happened in the hearing, to explain the whole story very efficiently, and at the same time, there is a sense of suspense, which leads the audience to understand exactly who Zuckerberg is.

But there is another potential structure. From the beginning, Zuckerberg wrote code in the dormitory, and then college students held parties outside (photographed many women’s bodies). This cross-cutting implies that the author wants to use the relationship between men and women. In terms of girlfriend relationship, this character.

The bottom structure, to use my analogy, is like having three nails driven underneath. These three nails are Zuckerberg, his wealthy friend, and the Internet Xiaokai he later encountered.

The most important thing in shaping a character is the driving force of the character. This film didn't really identify his driving force until the end (he sent a friend application to his ex-girlfriend at the beginning), that is, his purpose of doing this was to impress his ex-girlfriend again.

From this point, examine the other two people. A wealthy friend, being able to be with his girlfriend, is taking advantage of his identity as the founder of Facebook, and then breaking up with her. It is also when the company gets 500,000 angel investment-a woman, for him, will follow What he cares about is the matching of identities that he constantly replaces as his career develops. And when the Internet is open, different women keep appearing around him-women are a source of happiness for him, as if he has brought down the record industry without making money. It is also true that he is very happy. He has the same attitude towards Facebook.

Zuckerberg is completely different from them. He started Facebook to let his ex-girlfriend know that he is great, so when he learned that he hadn't spread to Boston University, his first reaction was to continue to do other schools. At the end of the day, he was defeated, and he sent her a friend application. In this character's heart, what he most wants to deal with is this matter. So he was not interested in playing cannons, Xiaokai took the interns to play, and he didn't want to go. In popular terms, he has no worldly desires. His desire is just to start the relationship with his ex-girlfriend again.

This driving force enabled him to make Facebook bigger, ignoring the opposition of the CFO, and then making it so big that he could no longer continue, so that he could go back and solve the problem at the beginning. This is a very naive and very clumsy character. He uses his own way to solve the problem, although this way is very inexplicable. But at this point, the movie has been successful, and a character that has never been seen before is born.

    The black lihua flying with youth and sad humanity, who would have thought that a CP created by a movie would make me eat for ten years... (2021update)

    The highlights are the bright rhythm and sharp editing, as well as the beautiful OST, so that a biographical film can also look good. So this is actually a youth hot-blooded film? ! Just like the Facebook, it's cool!!!

The Social Network quotes

  • Erica Albright: Is it true that they send a bus around to pick up girls who want to party with the next Fed chairman?

    Mark Zuckerberg: So you can see why it's so important to get in.

    Erica Albright: Okay, well, which is the easiest to get into?

    Mark Zuckerberg: [pauses, taken aback] Why would you ask me that?

    Erica Albright: I was just asking.

    Mark Zuckerberg: None of them. That's the point. My friend Eduardo made $300,000 betting oil futures one summer, and Eduardo won't come close to getting in. The ability to make money doesn't impress anybody around here.

  • Erica Albright: Well, why don't you just concentrate on being the best you you can be.

    Mark Zuckerberg: Did you really just say that?

    Erica Albright: I was kidding. Although just because something's trite doesn't make it any less true.

    Mark Zuckerberg: I want to try to be straightforward with you and tell you I think you might want to be a little more supportive. If I get in I will be taking you to the events, and the gatherings, and you'll be meeting a lot of people you wouldn't normally get to meet.

    Erica Albright: [Erica stares at Mark for a moment, then smiles] You would do that for me?

    Mark Zuckerberg: [Shrugs] We're dating.

    Erica Albright: Okay. Well I want to be straightforward with you and let you know that we're not anymore.

    Mark Zuckerberg: What do you mean?

    Erica Albright: We're not dating anymore, I'm sorry.

    Mark Zuckerberg: Is this a joke?

    Erica Albright: No, it's not.

    Mark Zuckerberg: You're breaking up with me?

    Erica Albright: You're going to introduce me to people I wouldn't normally have the chance to to meet? What the f... what is that supposed to mean?

    Mark Zuckerberg: Wait. Settle down...

    Erica Albright: What is it supposed to mean?

    Mark Zuckerberg: Erica, the reason we're able to sit here and drink right now is because you used to sleep with the door guy.

    Erica Albright: The door guy? His name is Bobby. I have not slept with the door guy. The door guy is a friend of mine, and he is a perfectly good class of people. And what part of Long Island are you from, Wimbledon?
