I went to see The Social Network like two weeks ago. The concept was fantastic because everyone wants to know how this college student created an amazing social network website to become a billionaire. I thought Mark Zuckerberg was definitely portrayed as a blunt asshole even from the first scene with his soon to be ex-girlfriend. So hungry to be popular, yet doing it in his own way, Zuckerberg became a virtual God. He ruled the social network and he was making bank off his work. This movie actually got me so motivated to become a billionaire but we all know that's not happening. I also thought that the twins were being total pussys in that they were complaining about how Zuckerberg stole their idea.. Yes, he kind of did but he didn't use any of their scripts or codes and made it even better by going international! If they were prestigious Harvard students like they portray themselves as, then they would have sucked it up and moved on to a different concept - but nope, they just had to sue Zuckerberg for their share that they don't even deserve! On the other hand, I do believe that Eduardo got totally fooled into this whole thing - there was some betrayal there. But at the pace that Zuckerberg was moving, Eduardo just couldn't keep up.. why would he go for an internship when there was an amazing project growing exponentially? so silly. Still, Eduardo definitely deserved his share.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It was a little too slow paced for me but when things picked up it was great. And seriously, Zuckerberg is a genius and he should also feel guilty for a lot of people who are consumed by facebook - it can be SOO evil sometimes.
