aaron sorkin understands my ~soul~~
Supposed to be writing an essay on Satan during the Enlightenment but
"I do, however, think that despite what destroys the relationship, and how central Mark is to how that happens, Mark cares about Eduardo. There are moments in the movie that clearly demonstrate that and that are hugely important to me -- particularly when they're talking about Eduardo's father and when Mark tries to get Eduardo to leave New York and come to Palo Alto -- but I think that what Mark also understood in the movie was that Eduardo didn't have the chops to do the job, that Eduardo wasn't going to be able to keep up with what this company had suddenly become. That Eduardo was a good dorm room CFO, but that he wouldn't be able to move beyond that.
And then very impressive Sean came along with some very impressive lawyers and said, Hey Mark, it's for the good of your friend more than anything -- would you rather Eduardo have 30 percent of nothing, or a fraction of a percent of something that will be worth a billion dollars? These characters put it to Mark in a way that would take the knife out of his hands when he had to kill Eduardo. They made it so Mark could say to himself, I'm doing a good thing, not just for Eduardo, but for the company -- the company is important - and also for the world because Facebook is going to be important to the world. I think smart people made the decision easy for Mark."
" I've been saying that Mark is an anti-hero who becomes a tragic hero by the end of the movie because he pays a price along the way and, I believe, he's experiencing tremendous remorse. He's lost his best, perhaps only friend... I was moved by this. Nobody likes a 26-year-old billionaire. So Mark pays that price. He pays the price of losing his best friend, and I believe at the end of the movie, particularly when we see him try to friend Erica, he is feeling remorse and trying, if he can, to put the pieces back together again. And, on some level, even if he's not conscious of it, he knows he can't.
UGH TO ME HE IS PERFECT
Sorry this is all I post about anymore. We could play the mini-fanmix game? Give me a fandom/pairing/character and I'll give you one or two songs that remind me of them.
