I know he’s supposed to play an obnoxious douche, but we got plenty of that throughout the movie, I just wished Timberlake would just shut up during that moment.
@@The3nd187 not at all. The settlement was undisclosed so we don't know details, but he retains a small percentage of ownership of FB, about 4%, which accounts for a couple billion. He's also a major venture capitalist and has made serious money from investments. His wealth was about $2B a decade ago and Forbes currently has him listed at $17.4B - so even I was short in my OP 😂 The guy is no dummy, as the film shows. All those guys in the film made it in the end: Dustin Moskovitz is worth around $20B and even the Winklevoss twins are now worth about $3B each!!!
@Peacefield i wouldnt say so. social media was always gonna be invented. cant stop technology. the first gen of fb was actually people staying in touch with their friends or long lost contacts

@@sarsfien8625 you dont understand. they were a team and friends. they both would have become equally rich TOGETHER. its not like any of them would have been fired or cut off the team. you are basically saying that anyone in this world would always backstab their best friend if money is involved. that may be you, but not everyone thats for certain. theres countless stories of successful start ups blowing up with the team still working and sharing their wealth among each other. there is success and failure. there is real people and backstabbing assholes. all the money in the world wont buy you back your soul and the reputation as a backstabbing rat.

When this came out my friends thought the movie was boring so they kind of made me leave it halfway through. I finished it when it came out on DVD. They still make fun of me for liking this movie I don't care. It's great.
This film was nominated for Best Picture in 2011 and should have won. Eisenberg was nominated Best Actor. Andrew Garfield should have been nominated Best Supporting Actor.
@Ben Dover better than Christian Bale in the Fighter, Jeremy Renner in the Town or Geoffrey Rush in The King’s Speech? I do not think so. I really suggest you watch the movies and their performances before judging them.
This is interesting, because most things are looked at from older generation stating the younger generation doesn't "get" the thing from the past, but in this instance it's the opposite. By the time your generation was allowed onto Facebook it was a far cry from where it started. Almost unrecognizable.
I remember seeing this in the cinema. At the time, Facebook just beta’d the cover photo and implemented their first “Timeline” that replaced their News Feed.
Unrelated but MADMEN is also a great watch even tho its a TV show it has great actors and stories plus the 60s fashion music wars crazy time period etc very interesting you guys should check it out.
Thank you for doing this. I've loved Fight Club and Se7en for years (both David Fincher films), and finally put two and two together, and looked for his other films. I watched both "Gone Girl" and "The Social Network" within the past month, both great films.
Aaron Sorkin (writer) is the gentleman asks if the noise Mark is making is a tic..his scripts are always fast paced back n forth. Check out The Newsroom, Moneyball, and most recently The Trial of the Chicago 7. Great stuff.
Fun fact. The posts Zuckerberg made at the begining of the movie, where he complains about Erica Albright and start creating Facemash, are basically copied almost verbatim from the original ones, if anything the names are changed from the originals and the order is altered a little bit, but other than that, they are basically the same thing that Zuckerberg posted while creating Facemash. Another fun fact. At the end of the movie, Mark sends a friend request to Erica Albright, but technically speaking, Mark Zuckerberg is already friends with Erica in Facebook, that is because, Zuckerberg has unlimited access to all Facebook profiles as if he is your friend, but you don't have access to Zuckerbergs profile unless you have him as your friend. Basically, Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook profile is that of a Superuser.
If the real story was more like this, awesome. I like the narrative and appreciate adaptations, fun movie. Mark just wasn't like that, it keeps me grounded
If Zuckerberg is to be believed the girl Ericka he was mean to in the beginning of the film never existed in real life and goes without saying trashing her online was made up. It’s important to note the during the writing of this film the vast majority of the story was told from Eduardo’s perspective. Considering the twins signed a NDA and of course Zuckerberg wanted no part in it.
I go back and forth about whether I like this movie or not. It's extremely well crafted, no problems there, but it takes huge liberties with facts and personalities. It's based on the book that Eduardo Saverin wrote with Ben Mezrich, so of course, it unquestioningly takes his position on all matters and makes him look like an angel. It's one of Aaron Sorkin's hatchet jobs, so don't expect the portrayal of the characters in this movie to be true to how things were, and Eisenberg's performance, while brilliant, doesn't reflect Mark Zuckerberg very well. So again.. brilliant movie. But I'm one of those guys who thinks.. if you're portraying real people, you have the responsibility to get events and character correct, because they're actual people whose reputations you're smearing, from Zuckerberg to Saverin to Parker to the Winklevosses. "Telling a better story" cannot be an excuse.
True, but it's also true that Zuckerberg and other people at Facebook ploted to out Eduardo from the company pretty much the way it's portrayed in the movie. I remember that the emails about it were leaked a few years ago and Zuckerberg was the one with the idea of outing Eduardo. While the reasons are not clear in the emails, it's clear that outing him was not the first choice or the most prefered one among the Facebook shareholders except for Zuckerberg. If I remember correctly, the prefered option was to buy Eduardo's shares and take him out of the Facebook mast. I wish I could give you a link to those emails, but unfortunately they have been removed even from saved sites.
@@winshifter Oh, I don't think anyone is disagreeing with the facts that Eduardo was kicked out of Facebook and removed from a controlling stake in the company, but there's not an acknowledgment that it could have actually been justified, or that Eduardo wanted to take the company in a direction it shouldn't have gone. My problem with the movie (this is a problem with all of Sorkin's "based on real life" scripts) is that it presents him as a perfect angel where there was no justification for any of these bad things that happened to him (again, it presents only Eduardo's version of events), but the truth is far murkier. It's maybe not nearly as horrible a character assassination as Moneyball was, but it's still not great.
@@ianwestc Well, in general I agree with you, that in the movie Eduardo is portrayed more like a victim and for being naive and overconfident about Shawn Fanning even though it was obvious they didn't like each other. I don't know if that represents Eduardos point of view of several characters, but also I think that to a degree it's portrayed that he only invested in Facebook to make his father proud and show that he is savvy in investing like his father. I think he mentions this in passing and also how he tries to make profit out of Facebook as soon as he sees that it's getting bigger and bigger, even suggesting to add California Universities so Palo Alto notice this. Yes, it's very downplayed what he might have done to Facebook and what might have earned him to be kicked out of the company the way he was kicked out. I guess for film's sake someone had to be the "hero" and someone had to be the "villian" even when in the real story there are no heroes or villians.
'We lived on farms, and then we lived in cities, and now we are going to live on the internet.' So true..
.. pretty sure no one lives on the internet bud.
@@chand911 well we are
people do actually live on the internet.

“Lawyer up, asshole” has become such a big phrase since the film came out too.
I know he’s supposed to play an obnoxious douche, but we got plenty of that throughout the movie, I just wished Timberlake would just shut up during that moment.
Maybe the most important line in the movie!
This movie is a masterpiece.

I feel bad for Eduardo too, but the guy's worth about $14 billion now sooooo not that bad. He's done ok haha
is that all from the lawsuit?

Aaron Sorkin is a master at writing
"I'm 6'5, 220, and there's two of me."

I'm glad you are reacting to this. 😄
You guys should do a top 10 favourite movies on the channel so far. I'd love to hear you talk about which movies you've enjoyed the most.
When this came out my friends thought the movie was boring so they kind of made me leave it halfway through. I finished it when it came out on DVD. They still make fun of me for liking this movie I don't care. It's great.
The share percentage dilution scene always hits me hard. I don't know why, but man that is just a cruel deal. Cruel.
This film was nominated for Best Picture in 2011 and should have won. Eisenberg was nominated Best Actor. Andrew Garfield should have been nominated Best Supporting Actor.
I disagree the other nominations were just as good or better
@Ben Dover better than Christian Bale in the Fighter, Jeremy Renner in the Town or Geoffrey Rush in The King’s Speech? I do not think so. I really suggest you watch the movies and their performances before judging them.
@Ben Dover whatever you say man. I agree to disagree. thats why performances are all opinions.
If you liked Aaron Sorkin's dialogue, then definitely check out A Few Good Men (1992).
This is interesting, because most things are looked at from older generation stating the younger generation doesn't "get" the thing from the past, but in this instance it's the opposite. By the time your generation was allowed onto Facebook it was a far cry from where it started. Almost unrecognizable.
Sounds like fans of source materials after their parents watch a movie adaptation.

As a Brazilian, I feel glad to know that there is always a Brazilian involved, whatever it is hehehe
Oh boy! What a nice surprise! This is cinema right here, ladies!
Wow i havent watched this since the armie hammer news came out and now the idea of two of him is terrifying lmao
When I first saw this movie I was surprised by how much I loved it made me wanna look up how facebook was created in real life love Andrew Garfield
A Cinematic Masterpiece....for me who's a Cinephile and post regular reviews on Letterboxd, this film is the best written and edited film of all time.
Watch Andrew Garfield again in The Amazing Spider-Man double feature. Please?
Almost every Fincher movie becomes classics.
😳Y'all watched this classic??! QUEENS🙌🏾

This movie and Double are two of my favorite Jesse Eisenberg movies.
Maybe the best movie of the last decade
You should do a reaction to Amazing Spider-Man 1&2.
Best business movie ever
Writer Aaron Sorkin and director David Fincher are a great combination.
"I'm hoping this will be motivational" Oh no!
U should watch A star is born!!! The new one its amazing
This guy talking to Mark at 5:40 was the little boy in Jurassic Park.
This movie is great! I’m sure some is a little Hollywooded up but I’m sure a good amount is accurate considering how many scummy things he does now.
Good movie. Frightening reality.
If the real story was more like this, awesome.

This must have been the longest reaction video without showing the movie/video
watching this film was pointless in introspect considering whats happening with mark and facebook right now LOL
