In 2003 Mark Zuckerberg started working on “The Facebook” which originally was known as “Facesmash” which was a social platform that allowed men to rate women at Harvard and write whatever about them. This was as an act of revenge against a girl he was seeing. As this traveled fast over the Harvard Campus. An Idea was proposed by Harvard men to Mark, for a social network exclusively for Harvard students. Mark took the idea and ran with it, to make it a social network for only college students. Then becoming a social network for the whole world. The genius was that no one had really done this with code yet. It hit huge in colleges across America allowing for Mark to get the attention he wanted. With this innovation, turmoil eventually ensued within the company. Partner and long-time friend of Mark, Eduardo Saverin took a credit card off of the account which lead to Mark eventually cutting the former CFO Eduardo out of the company forever. It is also lead to believe Mark set up Sean Parker creator of Napster and President of Facebook once he needed him no longer. The movie goes in-depth showing Mark doing anything and everything to allow and make Facebook succeed. Using and manipulating partners and long-time friends. The story of Facebook is being told as Mark finds himself in two separate deposition hearings, using flashback narrative in a clarifying matter.
5 Words: Dramatic, insightful, innovative, hubristic, ambitious
Thesis Statement: Mark Zuckerberg does whatever possible to create a successful and popular social network, putting his creation and fame above all else.
