But that has nothing to do with this film, which, is actually really, really good. Directed by David Fincher and written by Aaron Sorkin (who\u2019s a legend), it tells the story of <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Facebook<\/a> from the perspective of its founders, Mark Zuckerberg, Eduardo Saverin, and Sean Parker.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever your feelings are towards the tech giant and its great track record of user privacy, I think you\u2019ll <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>reciate this film since it\u2019s not a glorification of Zuckerberg but really a story about friendship and betrayal. And the story is made even better with a great ensemble of actors including Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield, Justin Timberlake, and Armie Hammer \u2014 Hammer plays the Vanwinkle twins and, fun fact likes to <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/pagesix.com\/2021\/01\/14\/armie-hammers-ex-courtney-vucekovich-he-wanted-to-barbecue-and-eat-me\/\">eat people<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The dialogue is great, the soundtrack is thrilling, and the coolest thing is that all these guys are still around today. The Winklevoss twins are into crypto, Zuck is testifying before congress, and Sean Parker serves on the board of Spotify.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Matrix_4_2021\"><\/span>2.

As you\u2019ll see in the movie, it began with two programmers on laptops in Berlin and ends with the subsequent arrest of Assange, which I guess is still an ongoing thing.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a spoiler but if you pay close attention you\u2019ll see the characters constantly drinking <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Club-Mate\">Club Mate<\/a> (a terrible drink but typical Berlin), which I thought was a really funny easter egg.<\/p>\n<p>The film is partly based on a book written by the co-founder of Wikileaks who seems to have had a falling out with Assange, so keep that in mind as you watch it. Either way, this whole movie revolves around the moral grey zone of privacy and political ethics, very similar to what we saw with Edward Snowden and the NSA files.<\/p>\n<p>Assange was a programmer, and his partner in crime Daniel Domscheit-Berg was also a programmer. So of course, you\u2019ll see a lot of programming and get some insights into the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> underpinning Wikileaks and its anonymous activities. Regardless of your opinions on the whole Wikileaks situation, I think we can all agree there\u2019s something pretty cool about a small group of programmers and hackers exposing governments for what they really are.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Ex_Machina_2014\"><\/span>5.

It\u2019s a really funny movie and if you\u2019ve ever worked in a corporate environment, you\u2019ll appreciate the humour and characters even more. Useless managers, annoying watercooler jargon, cringe department birthday gatherings \u2014 it covers everything that\u2019s wrong with that soul-sucking suit and tie environment.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Silicon_Valley_2014-2019\"><\/span>7.

It\u2019s like the <em>Big Bang Theory<\/em> if it was created for adults that understand nuance and don\u2019t need a laugh track to cue them in on jokes written for an audience with the collective IQ of a chimpanzee.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also HBO and created by Mike Judge (<em>Office Space<\/em> and <em>King of The Hill<\/em>), so they can get away with dark humour, sexual innuendo, and the f-word (if that\u2019s still a taboo these days) \u2014 which makes the show far more entertaining in my opinion. But it\u2019s obviously not everyone\u2019s cup of tea\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, there are six seasons to binge so if you have some time on your hands and want to sit back and laugh at characters with huge personalities talking about programming and startups, plus experience the exaggerated tech cliques of Silicon Valley companies like Google and Facebook, then this is the show for you!

Need I say more? <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt4158110\/\"><em>Mr. Robot<\/em><\/a> was kind of an underground series when it first launched, I didn\u2019t know many people who knew about it since it didn\u2019t have big stars in it (Rami Malek was hardly known back then). Since then it\u2019s obviously gained notoriety and won a bunch of awards. Even though it doesn\u2019t share the same budget as other series it\u2019s really well written and quite original and thought-provoking.<\/p>\n<p>I found it had a Matrix vibe in the first season. You\u2019ve got a cyber security engineer, Elliot (Rami Malek), who\u2019s pulled from his corporate world into the shadowy underground of exposing corporate corruption with a team of anarchist hackers all the while dealing with delusions and paranoia which overlap to create a mixed reality. I think you\u2019ll also love how the VP of Engineering is portrayed, similar to a lot of managers I know. \ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"9_Snowden_2016\"><\/span>9.

Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed it. The lead-up story (his professional and personal life) was just as interesting as what we know now about the NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden.<\/p>\n<p><em>Snowden<\/em> was directed by Oliver Stone, who also did <em>Platoon<\/em> and <em>Wall Street<\/em>, and it features a bit of Nicolas Cage\u2019s bombastic acting which we\u2019ve all grown to love. You\u2019ll find similarities between this movie and <em>The Fifth Estate<\/em> because they deal with similar topics like digital privacy and government overreach. But because <em>Snowden<\/em> comes from a very different background compared to Assange, it\u2019s more focused on a personal moral dilemma as opposed to ethics and journalistic integrity.<\/p>\n<p>I also didn\u2019t know that Edward Snowden was 29 when he blew the lid on the US government. I can barely expose my ex-wife for cheating on me let alone the entire industrial-military complex.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10_The_IT_Crowd_2006-2013\"><\/span>10.

Obviously, the IT helpdesk isn\u2019t the same as programming, don\u2019t worry I\u2019m well aware you haters!
