"You better lawyer up
asshole, because I'm not coming back for 30%,
I'm coming back
for EVERYTHING." - Edwardo Severin
Why watch this? It's
scary that there exists a new generation of narcissistic young
men.
Plot Summary:
This drama chronicles the founding of Facebook by Mark
Zuckerberg, beginning with his college days at Harvard. As
Facebook rises to global prominence, Zuckerberg finds himself
embroiled in two lawsuits, one brought by former friends who
claim he stole their idea, and the other by his initial business
partner over ownership disputes. The film recounts the story
through the differing perspectives presented in legal
depositions and flashbacks.
Dad's Preview:
Some overly intelligent young Harvard students envisioned and developed
what grew into Facebook. But like gold fever, when it becomes
evident that millions would be made, the true and very
ruthless nature of Mark Zuckerberg maneuvers to cut out his
best friend and partner Eduardo Saverin. Eisenberg, as an actor, can
portray sheer power and cold indifference better than anyone.
There is a blankness in those eyes - it's chilling.
