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.
