<h2>Facebook the Beginning</h2> Go back to when the internet was still new to a lot of people, graphical interfaces, and graphical web pages were only just really starting to take off. Which for the internet isn't really that long ago, somewhere around 2003 or so. The movie essentially start with Mark Zuckerberg being dumped by his girlfriend Erica Albright. He isn't coping and while drowning his sorrows he hacks into the universities various database collects the photos of almost all the female student population and then creates a campus website called Facemash. There visitors can rate the various girls attractiveness. The site becomes so popular that it crashes parts of Harvard's computer network. This feat attracts the attention of some of Harvard's more prestigious students, two brothers in particular, the Winklevoss'. Zuckerberg is invited to work on a exclusive dating site the Winklevoss' want to put together, one that would be only for Harvard students. Zuckerberg realizes the potential of an exclusive "friends" site, his idea seemingly coming from the chat with the Winklevoss'. <center>  </center> The movie explores how multiple people all claimed to have the idea for Facebook from different perspectives, and it uses various narratives of the people involved. What unfolds is the clashing truths and constantly morphing social relationships. It also looks at how the venture started small pulling people together, but as it grew ultimately pulled them apart again.
