The Social Network Reflection Questions

The Social Network Reflection Questions: 

How could the film appeal to a secondary/other audience who have little interest or experience of Facebook? Consider the setting and the credentials of writer Aaron Sorkin (look him up if you’re not familiar with his work).

The film could appeal to a secondary/other audience by showing the origin story to facebook and how its not just about facebook but about Zuckerberg's story of making facebook and the story behind the lawsuit of facebook. The settings also help because it gives a backstory and it goes back and forth to where the idea can from and then actual facebook and how it became so well known and used all over the world. Aaron Sorkin also has experience with stories like Zuckerbergs with movies like Steve Jobs, and bringing their stories to life.

Does the film take a stance for or against the existence of Facebook? Does it comment in any way on the impact it has had on the world today?

The film takes a stance for the existence of facebook, it does acknowledge the impact that facebook has had on the world today. The film shows this with making several references on how facebook has changed peoples lives with people using and acknowledging facebook. With the case we do see some things against facebook, but overall the film does have a pro facebook theme.
