昨天10月28日，收到 EVENT 邮件，上月被推迟的电影 The Social Network上映。
用 CineBuzz的积分换了2张票。 7点钟上晚课就过去看了。
整个电影的节奏很快，特别是在讲述 Mark开始FaceMash到 theFacebook 的过程期间。
一切从一个女孩儿开始，又一切以女孩儿结尾。情节是以两个要好朋友法庭指证展开。
不管你先给我的启发，不管你先掏钱帮我开始，什么CFO，什么VC，我都不在意，因为代码是我敲出来的。
才知道原来Mark Zuckerberg 第一张名片上印的『I’M CEO, BITCH!』是Napster的Sean Parker给的主意！
电影里的 Sean Parker （Napster创始人），是 Justin Timberlake 出演的。没想到吧？
面对 Sean，最初Harvard学校期间开始这个项目，作为CFO的 Eduardo Saverin在签署风投的合同时看着玻璃门外整天坐着发呆写代码的 Mark，说的那句话很是感人：
Money is not what he cares about, I have to protect him!
结果最后还是Federal Court相见 ，情节就这样倒叙展开。
过程倒是一贯的geek风格，很诙谐。
要我说，Mark Zuckerberg 绝对是个十足的天才，你不能说他坏，但在我看来他确实是利用了朋友，利用了Sean，利用了天使们。像电影结束时 Marylin说的 “You’re not an asshole, Mark. You’re just trying so hard to be.”
你能想象两个富家兄弟拿着一本《学生守则》去校长那里告校友盗窃了自己价值数百万美元的创意想法吗？这事在哈佛大学是有的。校长对这两个兄弟说，哈佛大学每天都有新的发明，你们就别追着要回你们的想法了，再发明一个嘛！校长也用上了Facebook。
一切都要在规则下才有意思，没有钻规则漏洞的，只有优秀的玩家。
电影结束时， Mark在 Facebook上添加已分手女友 Erica Albright 为好友。镜头就定格在了他不断刷新界面等待通过的画面。
背景音乐响起了 The Beatles的 Babay You’re a Rich Man。

几段有意思的对白：
Sean Parker: Drop the “the”. Just “Facebook”. It’s cleaner.
-
Mark Zuckerberg: As for the charges, I believe I deserve some recognition from this board. （Mark指自己破坏了学校的网络security，应该得到security部门的一些认可）
Ad Board Chairwoman: I’m sorry?
Mark Zuckerberg: Yes.
Ad Board Chairwoman: I don’t understand…
Mark Zuckerberg: Which part?
-
Gage: Mr. Zuckerberg, do I have your full attention?
Mark Zuckerberg: [stares out the window] No.
Gage: Do you think I deserve it?
Mark Zuckerberg: [looks at the lawyer] What?
Gage: Do you think I deserve your full attention?
Mark Zuckerberg: I had to swear an oath before we began this deposition, and I don’t want to perjure myself, so I have a legal obligation to say no.
Gage: Okay – no. You don’t think I deserve your attention.
Mark Zuckerberg: I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try – but there’s no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention – you have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing.
[pauses]
Mark Zuckerberg: Did I adequately answer your condescending question?
-
Sean Parker: We lived in farms, then we lived in cities, and now we’re gonna live on the internet!
-
Mark Zuckerberg: Ma’am, I know you’ve done your homework and so you know that money isn’t a big part of my life, but at the moment I could buy Mt. Auburn Street, take the Phoenix Club and turn it into my ping pong room.
-
Mark Zuckerberg: Your date looks so familiar to me.
Sean Parker: She looks familiar to a lot of people.
Mark Zuckerberg: What do you mean?
Sean Parker: A Stanford MBA named Roy Raymond wants to buy his wife some lingerie but he’s too embarrassed to shop for it at a department store. He comes up with an idea for a high end place that doesn’t make you feel like a pervert. He gets a $40,000 bank loan, borrows another $40,000 from his in-laws, opens a store, and calls it Victoria’s Secret. Makes a half million dollars his first year. He starts a catalog, opens three more stores and after five years he sells the company to Leslie Wexner and the Limited for four million dollars. Happy ending, right? Except two years later, the company’s worth 500 million dollars and Roy Raymond jumps off the Golden Gate Bridge. Poor guy just wanted to buy his wife a pair of thigh highs.
