I thought the movie was pretty nice, if a bit boring at times, I hated the douchebag twins, and they got what was coming in the end lol. Yeah I felt sorry for the guy, he pretty much got assspanked out of the company even though he was the first investor, I'd pretty disappointed in my friend and upset too.. But LOL

They were actually victims. The only douchebag in the story was Zuckeberg. And all the characters ended up filthy rich in the end.

Yeah they were part victims, admittingly the concept they had was VERY similar to Facebook, but Facebook got where it was because it was free and not exclusive, as it started to expand. Making a comparison Twins invented EyeToy, then Zuckeberg invented Kinect. Same concept on the outside but on the inside completely different products!

And I was talking about when they came 5th in the Olympics after all the "We're row boating pros" bragging.

Yeah, that was funny. But it wasn't just the ideea that he stole, but also that code thingy (I'm sure other people on this site know what I'm thinking about). Zuckerberg was sneaky, manipulative, backstabbing, egocentric, and just plain evil. He's by far on e of the biggest villains I've seen in a long time in a movie. And the scary part is that that guy exists in real life.

It wasn't that much that he stole from the douchebag twins, it's the fact that he betrayed his friend whilst listening to the character played by Justin Timberlake, very manipulative of him, I'd personally never do that in real life, but I guess some people just don't have any principles, and he was a tad bit jealous of his friend.

It's not only that, but he actually manipulated and betrayed Justin Timberlanke's character too, and eliminated him after he no longer needed him. As I said, Mark Zuckeberg's one of the biggest villains to hit the big screen (and real life possibly) in a long time.

And despite the way they were portrayed, the twins really weren't douchebags, they were victims of a diabolical person.

He's not diabolical, from the way he was portrayed in the film he's a smart guy with great business acumen who's obviously somewhere on the autistic spectrum.

I think you're kidding yourself if you think what Zuckerberg did isn't very common in the business world.

Cleverly usign and manipulating people to get what you want, stealing their ideeas, lying, and the backstabbing and eliminating them when you no longer need them... I'd say that's clearly diabolical. If anything, he's the embodyment of evil capitalist society.

Yes, but he's not one of the biggest villians in real life... these practises are fairly common in the business world.

Sad... there's a saying in my country, that translated sounds something like this: "Real life beats movies".

The two best films of 2010 are A Prophet (france) and Enter the Void (france aswell).

Both are exceptional as pieces of art, and the former is an amazing story too.



“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.
