The Social Network

I went to see this film last night. It's about Mark Zuckerberg and how he started facebook. 

To read about it there is a Wiki page. 

I found it pretty hard going to be honest. The background dramatic music drowned out a lot of the speech. That's the problem with wearing a hearing aid. I wanted to click for subtitles like I often do when watching a video on the computer. Even though the subtitles don't always make sense, it's easy to work out what they saying. 

Another problem I have is that people speak so fast, especially so in this film. This can be rectified by altering the playback speed when watching a video. Not so on the big screen. 

The characters are very believable, I think.  I wondered are all Americans are like this, looking for the right word, zealous, excitable, hot-headed? I remember 20 years ago when I was in the US, how loud everyone spoke. Maybe it's more about me slowing down and becoming more intolerant of noise. 

There are plenty of film reviews on yoootooob, here is one of them.

I enjoyed sitting in the cinema, and eating my white chocolate Magnum. One person sitting alone on the back row, two more came in. I don't know where they sat, somewhere behind me. I chose the middle, plenty of leg room. 

I see that the whole film is free to watch, here. I might have to watch it again, using the adjustments I mentioned. 

Now I must get on. Post Office and a dog to walk. 

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
