I went the other weekend to see "The Social Network" with a friend I know from the sex documentary series, who is a psychology Ph.D. student and into BDSM.
We were both blown away by the movie, though we found the beginning scene a little interminable (sp.?).
Afterwards we went out for some beers, and he had some really interesting thoughts about the movie:
- So many people are seeing this movie, it's effectively going to be the narrative about the creation of Facebook, forever.
- It's like a John Hughes nerd revenge movie with stereotypical jocks and success for the nerd at the end, only the nerd is a bully in his own way who thinks he's smarter than everyone else, and so really isn't a sympathetic hero and his victory is empty.
