Friedn equal to Money

"The Social Network" is directed by David Fincher. In this movie, He made many great scenes. The most impressive scene that I remember is the law suit use to explain why Mark Zuckerburg needs his Eduardo and how he did. The scene begins with a question that Eduardo’s lawyer asked “when did you come to Eduardo with the idea for Facebook?” Then, the scene flashes back twice to another law suit which is between Mark and the twins with some questions. However, Mark did not answer any questions directly. Now, the scene flashes back to the Jewish party night to tell people the question was asked at the first place. Mark went to the party and wanted to tell Eduardo the idea of facebook. Before he even said something, Eduardo told him that he got punched by the Phoenix the club Mark always wants to get in. People can tell Mark is jealousy by looking his face. Then, they went outside to discuss Mark’s idea just because Mark can’t stare at that loop of Niagara Falls. Notice, it was 20 degrees outside. When Mark was going to tell the why he want to do this, the scene flashes back to the Eduardo’s lawsuit and the answer came out from Eduardo “It would be exclusive.” Then, there are two flashbacks to tell people how both of them feel about the idea of facebook. Eduardo wondered why Mark was coming to him but not his roommates. The scene flashes back to the conversation and use it to imply the reason- money. At the end of the conversation, Mark said “It probably was diversity thing, but so what?” Now, people can see what kind of person Mark is. The flashbacks are very important to draw people into the story and the dialogue implies Mark’s personality.
