a film by peter watkins, Edvard Munch, plays with this convention the majority of its 210 minute runtime is munch getting shat on by critics and intellectuals of the time. a lot of biopics strive for it but ultimately i believe it to be very rare for them to actually hit it. but being able to communicate that you're in the presence of greatness is kinda hard imo. zuckerberg was a coding prodigy, mozart was a musical prodigy, etc. I mean i have little doubt that most biopics are accurate in that regard. I haven't seen the movie in a while, so maybe I am way off in terms of the characterization of Mark Zuckerberg. My takeaway was that Zuckerberg is not an asshole he is just trying to play the part of an asshole CEO.

I think the final line was meant to sum up the movie and punctuate what the viewer's takeaway should be now that they have seen Zuckerberg in a 3 dimensional way. In particular, I believe the douchiness of Justin Timberlake's character rubbed off on Zuckerberg. He wants to be a cutthroat CEO, but he is really just mostly an awkward guy. I think Rashida Jones' character feels sorry for him and tries to let him know that he can be successful and be an okay guy at the same time. I think he does indeed intend on being an asshole because that's what he thinks it takes to be successful. I always took what she said as 'I can tell that you aren't an asshole, but I can also tell that you are trying to be an asshole'. Interesting, I never thought about it that way. Just my opinion.įor clarification, are you talking about people going to Wikipedia about the movie or going to Wiki and looking up the actual Mark Zuckerberg to learn about the themes of the movie? I really believe that the people who like I-Be Area feel like they are in this secret club and that they believe other people aren't smart enough to appreciate it or 'just don't get it'.

I do, however, think that this movie does a great job at crafting a compelling story rather than sliding by with the title 'experimental' as a poor excuse to lure people in to think this has any semblance of quality.

Are the themes the MOST subtle in the world? No, but I never said they were. It does have more layers than anyone who hears about a Facebook movie would normally give it credit for at first word of mouth. I believe it's subtle in the sense that a lot of people think about it more as the creation of Facebook rather than the psychological reasons he did it.
