"The Social Network" is an anti-inspirational film. The entire film is about Mark Zuckerberg, a 26-year-old billionaire, but this is definitely not a routine compliment. The film takes Zuckerberg's two court hearings as a clue. To begin with, Jason Berg was placed in a vortex of controversy. When Zuckerberg appeared, he showed a great talent that was unlikable. His absent-mindedness and inner arrogance are the natural barriers between him and others. This is a character full of paradoxes. He was bored by his classmates, but he had the ability to understand the psychological needs of people in the Internet age, and thus created the world's largest social networking site FACEBOOK. He steps toward success, but loses his best and only friend. He technically brings people closer, but he himself is further and further away from the world.
The tone of the film is gloomy, and the most touching moments are Zuckerberg's several absences and dazes on the road to success. Here is when he met his ex-girlfriend, his attempts to reconcile were unsuccessful, and his numb face flashed a fleeting helplessness in the face of his ex-girlfriend's indifference to his proud achievements . When the user of his website broke the 1 million mark, in the excitement of the crowd, he remembered the friend he had driven away, and his face suddenly showed a kind of hollowness. And at the end of the film, he stared silently at the screen, mechanically updating his ex-girlfriend Erica's Facebook page to see if she agreed to add him as a friend.
These absent-minded moments are the password to Zuckerberg's seemingly impenetrable mind. Here, success is not a sweet candy, it begins as an ambition, a proof, a punishment for others to leave him, and in the end, it becomes an escape, the only suffering the protagonist of the film can endure loneliness. Medicine. He was addicted to success, avoiding the reality that he was rejected by others, but when greater success came, that emptiness also escalated, becoming more cold and biting.
