Itching After Gallbladder Surgery





Tras haber abandonado el blog durante varios meses (no me ha sido fácil Take time to write), I think it is wrong to resume critical of the last movie you've seen, "the network."

Described by some critics as not the movie of the year if not the decade as "the key to understanding our times", comments that are not very much exaggerated if we consider that Facebook has not only marked social relations of the last generation, but because of its tremendous growth some see in him a new platform data exchange that can reach up to compete with Google itself. Leaving

musings back, I will discuss the film itself. Inspired by the book "billionaires by accident" Ben Mezrich , and tells the ideation and creation of Facebook by Mark Zuckerberg a gifted student Harvard, and the evolution of personal relationships as his invention is becoming increasingly important and valuable. While the Facebook platform is completely new, substantive issues are ancient history, friendship, loyalty, betrayal, ...

The film follows a narrative that is partly complex at first, then go serene. It has been compared with Japan's "Rashomon " for trying to tell the same story from different points of view. Although not so clear I see a parallel, if it is true that the story tries to be impartial in order to offer a more documentary of events. It thus offers a more accurate story that neither wants nor seeks to delve into the complex character of the inventor of Facebook nor in any of his peers.

The film is so cold indeed, with the help of soundtrack composed by Trent Reznor quite dark but still without achieving any character a clear empathy with the viewer, it opens the door to reflection on the human behavior to the power, money and ambition, which makes it a movie, good and interesting and Above all, it is true, really comtemporanea .
