Love and friendship - The true meaning of The Social Network


The Social Network is not about Mark Zuckerberg or Facebook, they are only the means to convey the message of the film that deals with love and friendship in the modern world, at least according to me.

The message is that real love and true friendship can't exist if money or technology involved, true love, romantic or not, don't have chance if it's happen through a screen. Relationships should be based on emotion which can occur only through direct communication between people. All fights in the movie happened because one of these two things.

The end is the best example, the main character want to return to his love PreFacebook because this is the only true thing in his life, the fact that he do it through Facebook, shows that he didn't learned his lesson (and in this case we didn't also).

and I think that is why they paid so much and had to have the Beatles song at the end.
Baby Your a Rich Man.
