So finally got to see The Social Network last night.
If the film can be believed, the owner Mark Zuckerberg came over as a real ass hole. He had no problems stealing an idea off other guys,Divya Narendra, Cameron Winklevoss and Tyler Winklevoss, even though he did take it to another level it was their idea. Then tried to deny he did and not give them any compensation by using lawyers.
Was never sure from the film what the relationship was between Mark and the other three guys. Was he paid for his work, meant to be paid or doing it on a split of the proceeds that were never envisaged. Or was it just a project? What ever it was their original idea.
Then he tried to screw the original backer and co founder Eduardo Saverin out of the shares of Facebook and again reverted to lawyers to try to keep his money. Of course money didn't mean anything to him. Until he could screw someone out of it and they wanted what was rightfully theirs.
I thought Jesse Eisenberg did a great job of portraying him.
Good film. Enjoyed it more than I thought I would.
