The Social Network

My hubby and I watched this movie the other night. I didn't know the story of 'Facebook' till I watched this. It is interesting and I love it very much. However, the actors/actresses talked really fast, especially "Mark Zuckerberg" who speaks like a machine gun. I need to focus and pay full attention to catch what he is talking. Wonder whether he talks so fast in real life too?!

It is sad that he had 'lost' his best friend. Is it true that we will have to lost something or someone in order to have great achievement in life??
