The New York Times bestseller and inspiration for the Oscar-winning
movie, The Social Network Eduardo Saverin and Mark Zuckerberg - an
awkward maths prodigy and a painfully shy computer genius - were
never going to fit in at elite, polished Harvard. Yet that all
changed when master-hacker Mark crashed the university's entire
computer system by creating a rateable database of female students.
Narrowly escaping expulsion, the two misfits refocused the site
into something less controversial - 'The Facebook' - and watched as
it spread like wildfire across campuses around the country, and
their popularity exploded in the process. Yet amidst the dizzying
levels of cash and glamour, as Silicon Valley, venture capitalists
and reams of girls beckoned, the first cracks in their friendship
started to appear. And what began as a simple argument spiralled
into an out-and-out war. As Facebook rose to stratospheric heights
by bringing people together - its very success tore two best
friends apart.
The complete screenplay of one of the world's most famous and
controversial films "A definitive chronicle of the making of the
film" Sheridan Morley, Films & Filming This is the complete
companion to Citizen Kane - the film that was "designed to shock"
(Kenneth Tynan) - one of the best-loved and best-known movies in
the history of Hollywood and still the most staggering film debut
ever. Not only was this Orson Welles's first film as actor and
director but most of the cast were also new to the cinema. Yet so
controversial was the subject matter that an $842,000 bribe and the
concentrated wrath of the Hearst newspaper empire combined in an
attempt to strangle its distribution. And the authorship of the
film is still a subject of conflict. Pauline Kael's long essay,
"Raising Kane", dissects a maze of Hollywood lore to re-evaluate
these and many other fascinating stories about the making of this
remarkable film. Her account is followed by the original
screenplay, illustrated with stills and frame enlargements.
"Citizen Kane revolutionised film-making, and the question of its
authorship is as important to the cinema as that of Hamlet to the
theatre ...Pauline Kael explains how the picture came to be made
and concludes that the man most responsible for its creation was
not Welles but Herman J. Mankiewicz" Kenneth Tynan, Observer
