"The Winklevoss brothers are not suing me for theft of intellectual property, they're suing me because for once in their lives something did not go the way they wanted it"
For some reason, This song makes me think of things that never were, Opportunities in life that came but I never took, friends come and gone and it also makes me feel extremely nostalgic and kind of sad and it's such a simple piece. Brilliantly done Trent Reznor.
***** Standing next to Sean makes him "look so tough" because he scares Sean. Hence when he nearly punched Sean and Sean jumped back like a scared cat.
Eduardo is by any means tough as he does propose himself as that. Him scaring Sean and making him feel inferior throughout the whole movie was evident that Eduardo made him feel like so. So with that being said it was pointing out the obvious at the towards the end of the movie with their last confrontation that perpetrated him as such.
This song has stuck with me for four years after seeing the movie. I had no idea what it was for the longest time, I just remembered the piano notes and the noise in the background, but it will still memorable enough to stay there. So good job, whoever made this soundtrack.
+mommamilioti A great soundtrack is one that doesn't stick out from the movie itself, but one that when heard directly reminds the viewer of the movie and everything that film represented.
When I listen to this, It feels like a dilemma. Like I'm at a major crossroad in life where I have i choose between a comfortable path and an extremely risky and painful path. It's just one step away. Just there for me to reach it. This tune captures the feelings i WOULD have felt at the time of making the decision. It's just...so surreal. Like, time slows down and it's only me. My thoughts. My thinking and reasoning. And in that small moment where time is distended, i have to make a split second choice between the 2 paths and stick with it. Any decision I take will impact my life but that 1 second is just an impulse at that point, although a thoughtful impulse. At the brink of something MAJOR
"What was Mr. Zuckerberg's ownership share diluted down to?" "It wasn't." "What was Dustin Moskovitz's ownership share diluted down to?" "It wasn't." "What was Sean Parker's ownership share diluted down to?" "It wasn't." "What was Peter Thiel's ownership share diluted down to?" "It wasn't." "And what was your ownership share diluted down to?" "03 percent."
@sr sr Yeah but .03% sounds more dramatic. BTW OP this was the track that played in the beginning. The track that played at the other scene was a reprise. And yeah, I'm fun at parties :)
@sr sr I believe the real life events weren't made with as much malice, and overly dramatized to make it a better movie (as often done in film adaptations of real events). If I remember correctly, Eduardo's shares weren't just diluted for the sake of trying to strong arm him out and ambush him. There was some kind of business deal that was being held up because Eduardo was out in NY instead of LA and not responding, and they needed a % of all shareholders to agree to push the deal forward. So as a result they diluted his % down so that they had the majority to push it forward. Again this is just me paraphrasing from my limited memory, I could be entirely wrong. Just saying it wasn't AS BAD as the movie makes it out to be. Mark still sucks tho
"You know, you really don't need a forensics team to get to the bottom of this. If you guys were the inventors of Facebook, you'd have invented Facebook"
To me this song represents what the title suggest. The hidden pain you are too afraid to think about. Being alone in the crowd but trying to act like you don't care. I think this song speaks to the social paradox many intellectuals face between avoiding society and learning to take what you need from it.
“I had to swear an oath before we began this deposition, and I don’t want to perjure myself, so I have the legal obligation to say no.” “Okay. No. You don’t think I deserve your attention.” “I think if your clients want to sit on my shoulders and call themselves tall, they have the right to give it a try - but there’s no requirement that I enjoy sitting here listening to people lie. You have part of my attention - You have the minimum amount. The rest of my attention is back at the offices of Facebook, where my colleagues and I are doing things that no one in this room, including and especially your clients, are intellectually or creatively capable of doing. Did I adequately answer your condescending question?”
I had this EXACT feeling when I was first treated for my OCD. I remember right before I started treatment, sitting in my psychiatrist's office. I was so happy to finally be getting rid of the rituals, but a deep part of me wanted them to stay. They made day-to-day tasks hell, and yet the idea of living without them seemed even worse. You are 100% correct this song is very much that feeling.
This is one of the greatest scores in film history. If a score truly makes you think about your life and your past, you know how powerful it is. And this song makes me does so every, single, time.
This song is absolute genius. The skipping, consistent, distorted violins that make up the heart of the track represent the mind's ambivalent emotions when it realizes that something huge is in store like the idea of a perfect social network that has unspeakable potential. This is because the joy of having the idea conflicts with the anxiousness of getting it out there without encountering problems along the way. A violin is a beautiful instrument, but here it sounds spasmodic, as if it's distressed like a flowering tree sapling that's shaded and is trying to grow beyond the surrounding forestry. The indistinguishably happy or sad piano melody contributes to this idea, while the bass pulses serve as a reminder of the dangers of having an idea that's so valuable. I could go on, but this is my portrayal of this track. I see it this way because I for one can relate with this since I'm a music producer who's skeptical of audio theft. That's just one example, but there are many more in the case of Zuckerberg's because his idea is worth billions.
+Backless Chaps For me, it's exactly how the movie portrays it. Girl breaks up with you, you are depressed and bothered, but not so much to the point it turns you into an unmotivated sack of crap. Instead, it has the opposite effect and motivates you to push even harder to proving to her and others your worth (i.e. coming up with a multi-billion dollar idea). I do think in the movie though, he doesn't feel depressed, but moreso confused because he's so narcissistic that he can't believe someone would actually leave him. Ironically, Zuck in real life never had a breakup that motivated him in this way and instead is now married and about to have a child with the same girl he's been with since his days at Harvard. In my personal life though, I sometimes listen to it while doing my quarterly viewing of my ex's activities with her family...on Facebook nonetheless haha (we all have at some point don't lie). So it is almost in a way, a dark, sinister tune in that the motivation derives from the need to get revenge, but not so much on the person themselves, but by succeeding and showing them what they ended up missing out on.
This sound score is the reason why less is more. It's a haunting, beautiful, inspiring piece. In the right frame of mind this can make the hairs stand up on your back as you let emersion take over. Truly beautiful
"Mark! MAARK!" "He's wired in." "Oh really, he's wired in?" /smashes laptop "How about now, you still wired in?" "Call security." "You ushered twenty four million new shares of stock." "You were informed that-" "How much were your shares diluted? How much were his?"
"In order to create something, whether is a song, movie, product, service, research, etc. you have to pour your heart, mind and soul to that, that it becomes something that can change the world, even if it doesn't change anything." -Hayao Miyazaki
to me, the humming in the background represents incessant,repetitive,self-critical thoughts that creep in our minds without even us realizing it.the more noticeable piano notes are our desires,ambitions,yearning to be accepted,regrets,sorrows.the gongs in the middle of the song are eventuality of something big,life changing.something that will shake up a lot of things in your life whether you like it or not.similar to what happens in the film.nothing will remain the same except those incessant,repetitive,self-critical thoughts that creep in our minds without us realizing it.
Have you ever heard the heartstrings of a piano flutter flawlessly against the arbitrary scratching of an ambient noise you can't quite make out? That lingering in the back of your throat which seeks to be scratched yet receives to calm? Maybe the deep thrumming of your heartbeat in tired ears against the blood vessels surrounding your eardrums? Was it the white calm of your early sleep, behind tired eyelids that you found a place to call your own? In a dream, all alone; only your thoughts to guide you?
***** I thank you very much good sir. But of course, I must thank Mr. Reznor and Ross, more Reznor than anything. His music over the past twenty plus years has inspired me beyond rational thought. A journey if you will, through music we have grown up together as like minds half a world apart.
I like how this song represents Mark. The piano shows his outer apperence. He just looks like a simple college student trying to do something big, yet the underlying track represents the shadiness, evil, and betrayal that actually goes on. Well done.
This tune will always remind me of hard times at college. I had a programming project and I just wasn't able to do it. I always knew the basics of programming, but when it came to more complicated stuff or some bigger programs, I just didn't know what to do, and googling stuff just confused me more, as solutions were totally not understandable for me. I remember when we had to give our ideas on how to write the program to our professor, so I gave one, but it turned out that it's way too simple and cannot be done this way. Professor started explaining me how I could do it. I was overwhelmed and his words started to go through my ears. It was too complicated for me. I just stared at the paper listening to him and watching him drawing something, but my mind went totally blank. I thought some words like "I'm fucked". At home I tried to write the program but it was so damn hard for me. I remember listening to this tune, I remember even crying in a bathroom thinking about how shitty I was and how I shouldn't study at all. I felt bad, I thought things like "what am I doing there?" and that I am much more stupid than I think. But this tune also reminds me a little bit of the come-back, of overcoming the hard times, of fighting with all the negative thoughts. I remember taking a little bit of advice on some programming forum. Some comments made me feel worse as they were too hard to understand, but some people turned out to be helpful and they knew I am new to this stuff. I slowly started making some progress. I remember getting drawn into this project, programming to 6 am. I had moments of motivation and moments of breakdown. I finally coded the program but there still was a small error I couldn't fix. A guy from forum helped me to solve this problem and I am thankful to him. I felt better after writing this program, I felt like I learnt a lot, and when I looked back then this program didn't seem to be that complicated. However, I wasn't fully satisfied, because I got some help from forums and I wasn't able to do it on my own.
wow. Your experience was interesting to read. I have similar experiences like that but were related to a sport I did. Its never a fun feeling when you feel like your whole world is collapsing right in front of your eyes.
All hard stuff consist of a big amount of easy stuff, my dear friend. And while you remember it, and study step by step, nothing will break or stop you.
Buddy this was a very touching relatable experience. I'm glad you found a way through all that. Dont't feel discouraged that you needed help. We all need help at times. We are social animals, we get through life together. Thank you for sharing your story on this random youtube comment. It was a very pleasant find. I hope you manage to get through your next project on your own, but don't take it too hard on yourself if you need some help.
I remember being 22 hearing this for the first time in the theatre thinking "WOW! This is a perfect marriage of Cinema & Symphony" Timeless art lives forever cheers 🎭🎞️🎥🎶
Every time I hear this song I think about someone going through a huge transition in their life. A turning point if you will. The beginning starts out depressing, but I don't think it finishes that way at all. By the end I think that the music truly reflects the motivation for whatever goal that person is trying to reach on the horizon. A silver lining. A true beginning of something powerful.
I work as a security officer in an empty building (due to Covid) and when I play this song it makes me feel like I’m just doing my job patrolling and then I come to a sudden realization that everyone is dead and the building is destroyed in reality and I’ve gone crazy and have continued the job I had pre-destruction.
every time I hear this song I just think about my entire life and it motivates me to try in my academics. but its such a simple song that I don't know why I love it
I always think of a friend of mine when I listen to this song. He's not dead or anything, and we're still very close, but there was a time at the end of my senior year in high school when he'd pick me up from my house and we'd go to his place to watch movies, and The Social Network is his favorite, and it's become one of mine, too. I'm really grateful for him, because he's become one of my closest friends in awhile, and it's just very special to me to have experienced that with him.
It's in your emotion, in your heart, not in your head ... I feel the same thing with many things from NIN, Tool, also the early works of Linkin Park (different league, I know, but still ....) Look for it, feel it, enjoy it, do something with it.
I always love to come here when I'm doing a great transition in my life. Currently I've been working for over 10 years earning less than minimum wage, and finally I got a job offer with a decent salary. The long wait was totally worth it. I will reinvest every single penny in order to never go back to being broke.
Just noticed that the first note in this composition has more or less the same frequency as the facebook new-post notification. Sly old fox, Mr. Reznor!
I think this is one of the greatest songs of all time. To this day I still remember my emotions watching the film and remembering my first time on Facebook. Mr. Zuckerberg is one of my favorite people. After he made Facebook I finally started to connect with my peers and was able to share my opinion without being bullied. Thanks.
This piece perfectly sums up the socially awkward, misunderstood, and brilliant man who invented facebook. It's played just after his girlfriend breaks up with him, when he's walking home in flip flops and a gap sweatshirt as the opening credits role. Sets the scene so nicely. I love it.
You could say that about any score in history - the Star Wars theme could have been the Indiana Jones theme etc. Scores serve the film they're made for, at that moment in time.
Had this tune stuck in my head for the longest, FINALLY remembered its from one of my Top 5 films. This Soundtrack transformed the movie from 2d to 3d. Love it.
This song just gives me this somber, isolated feeling of reminiscence. As though you’re looking back at your past and the choices you’ve made in life, and wondered if they were the right choices. A fleeting moment in time is all your life really is in hindsight. And now it’s all behind you, feeling so far away. You can’t get it back.
I like how this is EXACTLY how I feel when I hear this song. Reflecting back on my life choices....wow. Maybe some notes/music are designed specifically for inducing certain THINKING. That's insane. The power that melodys can have wow
i thought of this song on my cycle home tonight. Everything I go past everyday seemed so much more beautiful and all my worries from the day just seemed to join the soothing waves of the river Liffey. This piece makes me feel so alive, yet so tiny and insignificant in the world
This genuinely might be the best film score I've ever heard in my life. This came out in 2010 and Facebook has only become bigger, more ubiquitous, more scandalous and more controversial since then, which makes the looming sense of dread in this track seem almost prophetic. Utterly extraordinary.
This song is so simple, yet whenever I hear it, all I can think about is all of the best and worst that life has to offer hitting me full force. It's perfect.
"How much was Mr. Zuckerberg's ownership share diluted down to?" "It wasn't." "How much was Mr. Moscowitz's ownership share diluted down to?" "It wasn't." "How much was Sean Parker's ownership share diluted down to?" "It wasn't." "How much was Peter Tiel's ownership share diluted down to?" "It wasn't." "How much was your ownership share diluted down to, Mr. Saverin?" "Point zero three percent."
This helps us study, makes cry, feel alone, reminds when we was fuck up, breathtaking one, remembered, concentrating on work, conveys a glimmer of hope that something bright is waiting ahead!
my friend got mad at me for somthing and i used the "SORRY, MY PRADA IS AT THE CLEANERS!!!!! Along with my hoodie and my fuck you flip-flops, you pretentious douchebag!!!" and only one person got the refrence
Trent Reznor really did his thing on these movie soundtracks. He's so good about harmonizing different ambient noise in the background. Really unique style to his material.
For me its the sound of something big happening. Filled with fast paced ideas, deceit and lies, a ruthless pursuit to change the world. Not every day such a consequential company is born.
This score perfectly captures the idea of betrayal between two friends. The droning sound - of what sound like strings - and the intense "Hans Zimmer-esque" booms represent the underlying evil behind it all, the jealousy building in Mark as he tears down the only friendship he managed to sustain. The melancholy piano is that feeling of regret that Mark seems to have at the end of the film.
I think this will be perfect to listen to right before 2012 ends...it's like you're thinking back on the joys, sadnesses, losses, victories over the past year...and there's nostalgia and hope and regret all embedded into this melody.
What is it with this music? I listen through my high end music system and literally I feel chilly and shiver runs through my spine. Goosebumps literally. I have the cd for years but never got around to other tracks. Awesome.
It sounds like putting all your chips in on a massive bet at a high-roller table then pushing chair back so you jolt upright (everything slow motion) and then there’s the wait OR the night before the day of a grand test of will when you’re at your wits end; glimmer of hope piano with anxiety ridden bass, drum and hauntingly suspended strings.
Yep, people think strange things about me and what i'm doing since they heard this track sound from my room, And they will keep thinking that for a while.....
its the noise behind the piano that makes it so perfect...

I feel the same way. I think about regret. And how time does not wait for anyone.
:(
And Atticus Ross.
Fantastic summary
Yup, you summed up my emotions.
Despite my hatred for Facebook, this was a masterful film, all the more so because of the exceptional sounds Reznor produced for it.
I also loved the Movie, But don't really like Facebook and very glad that Reznor made this great tune.
If you don't like Facebook, then you ought to love the movie
I hate Facebook and Zuckerberg....The Movie was awesome and I will never register in facebook.
I fucking despise facebook. It's funny how in a way, I feel like it stole my friends from me. This brilliant movie and soundtrack echo that in a way.

to me, the humming in the background represents incessant,repetitive,self-critical thoughts that creep in our minds without even us realizing it.the more noticeable piano notes are our desires,ambitions,yearning to be accepted,regrets,sorrows.the gongs in the middle of the song are eventuality of something big,life changing.something that will shake up a lot of things in your life whether you like it or not.similar to what happens in the film.nothing will remain the same except those incessant,repetitive,self-critical thoughts that creep in our minds without us realizing it.
the last reckoning the screeching chant representing the anxiety of the unknown before the silence.
Great analysis, you hit it straight on point!
Such a perfect analysis. Thank you!
Have you ever heard the heartstrings of a piano flutter flawlessly against the arbitrary scratching of an ambient noise you can't quite make out? That lingering in the back of your throat which seeks to be scratched yet receives to calm? Maybe the deep thrumming of your heartbeat in tired ears against the blood vessels surrounding your eardrums? Was it the white calm of your early sleep, behind tired eyelids that you found a place to call your own? In a dream, all alone; only your thoughts to guide you?
Nice

***** I thank you very much good sir. But of course, I must thank Mr. Reznor and Ross, more Reznor than anything. His music over the past twenty plus years has inspired me beyond rational thought. A journey if you will, through music we have grown up together as like minds half a world apart.
This song speaks to me more than any other. I consider it serenity in a sea of anxiety. Something I’ve dealt with my whole life.

The “fall” part of that matches perfectly. Cold weather, early night, dead leaves falling to the ground, new semester at school…
I like how this song represents Mark. The piano shows his outer apperence. He just looks like a simple college student trying to do something big, yet the underlying track represents the shadiness, evil, and betrayal that actually goes on. Well done.
There was no evil in any of that.

This tune will always remind me of hard times at college. I had a programming project and I just wasn't able to do it. I always knew the basics of programming, but when it came to more complicated stuff or some bigger programs, I just didn't know what to do, and googling stuff just confused me more, as solutions were totally not understandable for me.
I remember when we had to give our ideas on how to write the program to our professor, so I gave one, but it turned out that it's way too simple and cannot be done this way. Professor started explaining me how I could do it. I was overwhelmed and his words started to go through my ears. It was too complicated for me. I just stared at the paper listening to him and watching him drawing something, but my mind went totally blank. I thought some words like "I'm fucked".
At home I tried to write the program but it was so damn hard for me. I remember listening to this tune, I remember even crying in a bathroom thinking about how shitty I was and how I shouldn't study at all. I felt bad, I thought things like "what am I doing there?" and that I am much more stupid than I think.
But this tune also reminds me a little bit of the come-back, of overcoming the hard times, of fighting with all the negative thoughts. I remember taking a little bit of advice on some programming forum. Some comments made me feel worse as they were too hard to understand, but some people turned out to be helpful and they knew I am new to this stuff. I slowly started making some progress. I remember getting drawn into this project, programming to 6 am. I had moments of motivation and moments of breakdown. I finally coded the program but there still was a small error I couldn't fix. A guy from forum helped me to solve this problem and I am thankful to him. I felt better after writing this program, I felt like I learnt a lot, and when I looked back then this program didn't seem to be that complicated. However, I wasn't fully satisfied, because I got some help from forums and I wasn't able to do it on my own.
Very poetic, I’m feeling the same way, but it’s more morbid being that I’m in the shores of computer science. I’m doing c++ right now.
wow. Your experience was interesting to read. I have similar experiences like that but were related to a sport I did. Its never a fun feeling when you feel like your whole world is collapsing right in front of your eyes.
All hard stuff consist of a big amount of easy stuff, my dear friend. And while you remember it, and study step by step, nothing will break or stop you.
Buddy this was a very touching relatable experience. I'm glad you found a way through all that. Dont't feel discouraged that you needed help. We all need help at times. We are social animals, we get through life together. Thank you for sharing your story on this random youtube comment. It was a very pleasant find. I hope you manage to get through your next project on your own, but don't take it too hard on yourself if you need some help.
Reading your story with the music in the background, it really gives off like Im watching a scene from a movie
We need a sequel to this film to document things that have happened to FaceBook in the last couple of years.

Definitely can relate.
Every time I hear this song I think about someone going through a huge transition in their life. A turning point if you will. The beginning starts out depressing, but I don't think it finishes that way at all. By the end I think that the music truly reflects the motivation for whatever goal that person is trying to reach on the horizon. A silver lining. A true beginning of something powerful.
I work as a security officer in an empty building (due to Covid) and when I play this song it makes me feel like I’m just doing my job patrolling and then I come to a sudden realization that everyone is dead and the building is destroyed in reality and I’ve gone crazy and have continued the job I had pre-destruction.
This song is so hauntingly beautiful. As soon I watched this movie I had to find this song right away.
every time I hear this song I just think about my entire life and it motivates me to try in my academics. but its such a simple song that I don't know why I love it
Same here...
I always think of a friend of mine when I listen to this song. He's not dead or anything, and we're still very close, but there was a time at the end of my senior year in high school when he'd pick me up from my house and we'd go to his place to watch movies, and The Social Network is his favorite, and it's become one of mine, too. I'm really grateful for him, because he's become one of my closest friends in awhile, and it's just very special to me to have experienced that with him.
I don't know why I love this so much.
It's in your emotion, in your heart, not in your head ... I feel the same thing with many things from NIN, Tool, also the early works of Linkin Park (different league, I know, but still ....) Look for it, feel it, enjoy it, do something with it.

disregarding your opinion on the movie Time is a better composition than this and has been way more impactful since
All Alone nah lol
this song makes me feel lost and alone, but in a relaxing and reassuring way? how can you encapsulate so many feelings in 6 notes?? pure genius.
I always love to come here when I'm doing a great transition in my life. Currently I've been working for over 10 years earning less than minimum wage, and finally I got a job offer with a decent salary. The long wait was totally worth it. I will reinvest every single penny in order to never go back to being broke.
Cool,i really hope your getting there
10 years later and still just as good. This movie and score are ageless.
One of the most memorable pieces of music from a film that I've ever heard. I "see" this song when I hear it.
Just noticed that the first note in this composition has more or less the same frequency as the facebook new-post notification. Sly old fox, Mr. Reznor!
This was probably a coincidence
2023 and this track still in my top 5 of all time.
💙
This sounds the way holding back tears feels... but I like it
i know right
Let them go x
I think this is one of the greatest songs of all time. To this day I still remember my emotions watching the film and remembering my first time on Facebook. Mr. Zuckerberg is one of my favorite people. After he made Facebook I finally started to connect with my peers and was able to share my opinion without being bullied. Thanks.
This piece perfectly sums up the socially awkward, misunderstood, and brilliant man who invented facebook. It's played just after his girlfriend breaks up with him, when he's walking home in flip flops and a gap sweatshirt as the opening credits role. Sets the scene so nicely. I love it.

I can't be the only one who think this song can litteraly go in many other Fincher's movie : Gone Girl, Dragon Tattoo, Benjamin Button, Zodiac...
You could say that about any score in history - the Star Wars theme could have been the Indiana Jones theme etc. Scores serve the film they're made for, at that moment in time.
No, but you had to be the only prick to voice that one
Had this tune stuck in my head for the longest, FINALLY remembered its from one of my Top 5 films. This Soundtrack transformed the movie from 2d to 3d. Love it.
This song just gives me this somber, isolated feeling of reminiscence. As though you’re looking back at your past and the choices you’ve made in life, and wondered if they were the right choices. A fleeting moment in time is all your life really is in hindsight. And now it’s all behind you, feeling so far away. You can’t get it back.
I like how this is EXACTLY how I feel when I hear this song. Reflecting back on my life choices....wow. Maybe some notes/music are designed specifically for inducing certain THINKING. That's insane. The power that melodys can have wow
Sometimes the simplest of tracks are the most beautiful ones

i thought of this song on my cycle home tonight. Everything I go past everyday seemed so much more beautiful and all my worries from the day just seemed to join the soothing waves of the river Liffey. This piece makes me feel so alive, yet so tiny and insignificant in the world
This music represents the duality of human nature. Good and evil. It’s mixture of dark, brooding strings with that major piano melody is sublime
So haunting. It's like an anouncement of something great and evil is about to happen.
I put this music on when I change the Windows settings and I feel like I'm creating something revolutionary
This really makes me look back and think about everything that has happened in my life.
same here
This genuinely might be the best film score I've ever heard in my life. This came out in 2010 and Facebook has only become bigger, more ubiquitous, more scandalous and more controversial since then, which makes the looming sense of dread in this track seem almost prophetic. Utterly extraordinary.
Sometimes we forget how spacious music can impact a scene and I have always found this song mesmerizing.
When this music first played, i knew we were in for something different.
Timeless film.
there's just something about this song that perfectly describes achieving success with a few sacrifices
This is what the calm before the storm sounds like, and you are the storm.
Finally found this tune . I was wondering since 2010 . Got this one in the end of 2021 .
This is what calmness feel like ❣️
11 years damn
This song is so simple, yet whenever I hear it, all I can think about is all of the best and worst that life has to offer hitting me full force. It's perfect.
It's weird how a movie about the founding of Facebook is somehow more thrilling than Fincher's next film Gone Girl, an actual thriller
His next film was Girl with the dragon tattoo though
@I drink your milkshake gone girl was garbage

I fell in love with this track since the first time I saw that amazing movie and I still love this!

This hauntingly minimalist score is perfect for a world like CronoRevolution. It captures that eerie sense of unease perfectly 🌫.
Hans Zimmers Time vs. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. Which is better? YOU DECIDE!!!!!
I love Time from Hans Zimmer, but this piece is simple and perfect (in my opinion).
This for sure... this is so elegant without trying.

This piece is better.
my friend got mad at me for somthing and i used the "SORRY, MY PRADA IS AT THE CLEANERS!!!!! Along with my hoodie and my fuck you flip-flops, you pretentious douchebag!!!" and only one person got the refrence
Dude that's awesome. I've done the same a few times and it felt great. It's such a great line to yell at someone.
You're one of the good ones
Trent Reznor really did his thing on these movie soundtracks. He's so good about harmonizing different ambient noise in the background. Really unique style to his material.
For me its the sound of something big happening. Filled with fast paced ideas, deceit and lies, a ruthless pursuit to change the world. Not every day such a consequential company is born.
It's nice to listen to this song when typing on your keyboard, because in my opinion the sound of the keys being clicked compliments this song a lot.
The middle of 2019 and this piece still has the same gravity from when I first watched the movie
ITS SATURDAY CHRISTMAS EVE AND IM SMOKING WEED GOD BLESS
This score perfectly captures the idea of betrayal between two friends. The droning sound - of what sound like strings - and the intense "Hans Zimmer-esque" booms represent the underlying evil behind it all, the jealousy building in Mark as he tears down the only friendship he managed to sustain. The melancholy piano is that feeling of regret that Mark seems to have at the end of the film.
Wow
I've been listening to this for years
Absolute genius
Tough time at the min xx
I think this will be perfect to listen to right before 2012 ends...it's like you're thinking back on the joys, sadnesses, losses, victories over the past year...and there's nostalgia and hope and regret all embedded into this melody.
“And what was your ownership share diluted down to?”
“.03 percent”
"I hope you lawyer up asshole, because im not coming back for 30%, im coming back, for EVERYTHING"
Best line in the movie.
You better lawyer up asshole, cause I'm not coming back for .3% I'm coming back for everything....

This movie was great - it was the music that made the movie so memorable though.
It sounds like putting all your chips in on a massive bet at a high-roller table then pushing chair back so you jolt upright (everything slow motion) and then there’s the wait OR the night before the day of a grand test of will when you’re at your wits end; glimmer of hope piano with anxiety ridden bass, drum and hauntingly suspended strings.
This was the one that secured the Oscar. Incredibly evocative.
Yep, people think strange things about me and what i'm doing since they heard this track sound from my room, And they will keep thinking that for a while.....
