Courtney Sampson The Social Network notes Mark Zuckerburg o Extremely intelligent o Doesnt care about looks o Cocky

y o Very socially awkward o Avoids answering questions o Rhetoric: the camera work is from his POV Lots of movement, a little chaotic Eduardo Saverin o Intelligent o (Appears) caring o Put together o Socially aware Sean Parker o Confident o Rich o Clever o Paranoid of getting in trouble, so he ends things explosively so that he has control o Manipulative o Delusional o Well-known Winklevoss twins o Vengeful o Old money o Status and prestige o Intelligent o Rowers Funny because at the beginning Mark said he wanted to row crew o Represent the status that Mark wants I think part of what motivates Mark to get a better idea than the Winkleviis original Harvard connect idea is that he wants something to prove to himself that he has worth, since he isnt cool like them Erica Albright o No-nonsense o Sarcastic o Sensitive Especially when Mark makes derogatory comments Marylin Delpy o Young intern o Curious o Realistic

Courtney Sampson Facebook/social networking sites o In the beginning when Mark is blogging about creating Face Mash, I noticed that the word facebook is not recognized on his computer. o A whole new aspect of college culture Sexual interests Political views What their friends are up to, even if in different state, country, etc. Gender o Social connections based on girls you know o Mark says offensive things about girls o Objectified Club Girls always at Marks CA house Sean Parker Lots of different women 24/7 Class/Socioeconomics/Harvard o Harvard = the best o Winklevoss twins Rich and have connections, so they think they can do whatever they want o Mark idolizes being cool and popular Source of motivation (not necessarily money) o Prestige College students o This movie shows that there are partiers, and there are nerds, and the culture at Harvard is a bunch of nerds who know how to work hard and play hard o Motivated by sexual interests -> Facebook helps to see if people are single or not Friendship o Trust o For Mark, friendship = what someone else can do for you Just wants to be cool Attaining status Cool = crew (athletic), popular (expanding) o For Eduardo, friendship = teamwork, being considerate Rhetoric: makes you pity/sympathize Eduardo Mark is unjust to him Success o Gets in the way of relationships Final clubs -> Erica breaks up with him Power hungry -> friendship o Eduardo thinks Facebook would be most successful if it brings in a lot of financial profits

Courtney Sampson o Mark thinks Facebook would be most successful if it is most popular o Sean thinks Facebook would be most successful if it is fastest developed company Always spins out of control General notes Day 1 I feel like in the beginning of this movie, all of the camera work (lighting, movement, etc.) was from Marks point of view: sporadic, intensely focused on computer screens However, as the film goes on, it shifts more toward Eduardos POV: becomes more dark and methodical; full of chaotic scenes (like how Eduardo feels like Facebook is slipping out of his hands/control), General notes Day 2 The music at the Henley regatta Makes it really intense Rhetoric: similar to them narrowly losing a race, they narrowly lost their idea to mark Rhetoric: Bad things happen when its dark or blaring music When Sean calls saying that he got in trouble at sorority party, light turns off in the background o As if Marks vision of perfect Sean are off, shattered Film lacks Marks perspective o Only one side of the argument o *Counterargument: why it is limited o reference reading here- along the lines of rhetoric persuades to see one point of view

IF NOT 5/6 PAGES LONG: talk about being youngest billionaire how? (Mark) Villianize Sean Parker
