According to critics and various comments, The Social Network depicts an aggressive and unscrupulous Mark Zuckerberg, who stole ideas and has no respect for his friends and associates. It is suggested even that he framed Sean "Napster" Parker, to kick him off from the position he acquired. The book the film is based on, The Accidental Billionaires, is less aggressive regarding Zuckerberg, is decent when expressing the characters’ view, and is biased toward Eduardo Saverin, who, as mentioned in … [Read more...]

It is not enough!
This is a simple statement: I shall say more, other time, when people with more information will deploy more facts. It is not enough.

History – Marie Antoinette
Marie Antoinette is a film directed and written by Sofia Coppola Nominated to Palme D’Or but winning only the Cinema Prize of the French National Education System at Cannes in the same year, this marvelous and sensitive film is a joy of the eye.

Before you die…
I have promised a few weeks ago on Twitter, that I shall write something inspired by an article I saw, something like “x things to do before you die”. At a first view, looks fine, there is a great range of stuff to choose, not things to do, they are even in greater number, but “posts”, usually in blogs, some “wiser” than others, ass-wiser, as a matter of fact.

The Fantastic Mr. Anderson
Magnificent Wes Anderson! And Noah Baumbach, the writer of this marvelous masterpiece of a film, animated motion picture. “Alcohol is dangerous to the health” and “Go-hide-in-your-rat-holes-and-leave-us-along-to-make-more-and-more-shitloads-of-money” can be the morale of this wonderful tale, along with something more, regarding the pursue of true talent, friendship, humanity and the instinct to survive. Plenty of voice talent as well, George Clooney, Meryl Streep, Jason Schwartzman, (a … [Read more...]
