The social network - a film showing how Facebook started

Have you ever been on the Internet and wonder how some of the most popular sites has its beginning? You can imagine the creation of the next MySpace or Facebook? If all this sounds interesting to you, there is a new film, the look is a must have, social networking is the unofficial biography, like the social networking giant Facebook has begun. Facebook the movie can not be won a Golden Globe, but it will certainly shake up popular conceptions of what it takes toto start a business and succeed.

What is social networking?

There are few people on this planet who are still uncertain because these sites are so wildly popular. Facebook and MySpace are huge on the World Wide Web, almost every one or the other and some people have both. These sites are for connecting with friends and relatives near and far as well as new "friends." Depending on the site that you can use, flexibility in designProfile page allows, MySpace backgrounds, including a lot of creativity and music, where Facebook is a bit 'simpler Jane.

What most of these social networking sites have in common is the ability for you to share your life in pictures, comments and messages to a large number of people around the world. This is now the draw and appeal, but in principle, Facebook has only been used in some universities, beginning with Harvard.

Today, however, the way of FacebookInteract good and bad. It is not uncommon to see a total war on the pages of the site between two or more people. Pictures, comments and messages can be very revealing and ugly, and it is difficult to see how many people watch the drama from a distance easily.

The social network - a Facebook film

The social network is a film about how all this started. The story and screenplay based on the book The Accidental baseBy Ben Mezrich billionaires and not sanctioned by the people closest to the peak on Facebook. This story of money, genius, betrayal and sex should be guilty of a great joy, even when the facts are not 100% with people who are verified! It 's very unlikely that the subject would be absolutely honest, however, about their character flaws or weaknesses.

It 'a perfect choice for social networks, including Brenda Song and Justin Timberlake in September If you have alwaysasked how long it would start a popular and very successful website is the movie for you! Of course, those of us going to see more, only film to break up for Facebook to live all the money, betrayal and intimate relationships, but that should be one or the other!

Avatar as Social Commentary - War, corporations and profits

I know I'm probably way behind you see the film Avatar, but I went and saw him last night and I was blown away by the creativity of the idea and the film. However, I found the message to a great social commentary, and be something very important for our time.

For those who have not seen the movie, I do not want to give everything away. However, the basic action that the person to a distant planet in the future and the proposition of a group of natives. ManMilitary, Actually that is funded by a company is to take the precious materials from indigenous people when they give up their land voluntarily, is taken by force, (being a metaphor of classical Spanish and American governments against indigenous peoples). But I think the film tries to move the conflict to a simple analogy of the past, but rather the danger of the military and corporate / profit-sharing interest. We all know that war is always money related.However, time is often much thinner than it was in the past when we can say openly.

Although I am not a big fan of George W. Bush, I'm not saying what he did with the war in Iraq was entirely for profit. I believe however, that the war was wrong, there were still some non-corrupt reasons behind originally. However, there are many connections and corrupt deals between the interests of society and the government suspected that at least (theThe most obvious is the direct link between Dick Cheney and Halliburton, which won the tender for billions of dollars really was the war effort and assistance in this recovery). The fact is, defense contractors and arms dealers want to happen to the war, because it means their profits will increase significantly. Oil companies also enjoy the fact that the U.S. has control over some regions, because it means easier access to oil reserves.

Again I am not a conspiracyTheorists, but Republican President Dwight D. Eisenhower warned us of the military-industrial complex, and as creating a huge industry on a war would have an insatiable desire and need to build on other wars. As we know, in every war, struggle, war, but in reality the poor, often without any benefit for them. We must be very cautious, as the sole superpower the real world that does not allow the greed and corporate control our foreign policy interests (or for that matter, ourDomestic politics). This is another reason why I have the latest Supreme Court decision so disturbing, particularly companies more power over our government and its values, both nationally and internationally.

If you have not seen the movie, go see. I think it's one of the best films I've ever seen. But while there, be sure to bring not only the dazzling effects on critical social search is our visionGeneration.
