It was really a pleasure to watch this movie since trough the history of the main character is telling about the history of Sicily, where I am coming from. I have to say that the movie is a masterpiece of the neo-realism, since the aspects shown are really matching with the reality. The movie confirm the extraordinary capacities of Tornatore (I love his "Cinema Paradiso"). Differently from our movies, the characters shown are not important people but normal people fighting every day their small/big challenges in order to run a normal life and to try to realize their dreams or maybe only to continue to dream. Interesting as well, as a lot of important actors (like Monica Bellucci, Raul Bova, etc) decided to play a humble role of appearance. It was particularly funny personally for me, to watch the movie in original language and subtitles in German for my girlfriend. The Sicilian language is so unique that some terms is almost impossible to translate.

Even if I am a facebook user I have not read yet any history about its foundation. The movie was really interesting and explained easily the born and the growth of this social network. It was interesting as well to find Justin Timberlake as actor of this movie. The storytelling was easy and interesting to follow. When we took the movie from the store we thought it could one of those boring movies telling you the story as a documentary. But maybe due to the particular history of facebook this movie shows us the opposite. Every minute was interesting to watch. Every minute give you the possibility to learn how this big social media growth up, where the ideas came from and overall the difficulties related to its development. It is quite funny the end of the movie. An action which I am used to see in many facebook users!
