DON'T WATCH THIS MOVIE!!
I'm serious - if you want to, I can't stop you, so here's the premise: Zuckerberg is an everyman and underdog, a grinning, charmless suburban geek that wants to "change the world", by connecting people - the villains of the piece are US blue-blooded preppies that believe they are the rightful lead in a type of tech/social media platform race that becomes what we know of as Facebook.
But what is Facebook? It's an omnipresent, surveillance-based global software that relies enormously on the sharing of "content" for which it, nor consumers ever pay. This film, although handled with excellent balance and dramatic treatment, and no shortage of wit, seems to make no mention of the fact that our best journalists, artists, musicians, documentarians, animators and designers are paid nothing ($0.00) for a media sharing platform that earns nearly 40 billion dollars a year in revenue, and directs United States government policy-making, and collects all your personal data for marketing algorithms and public surveillance.
The image of Zuckerberg in his hooded sweater grinning naively with a soft-drink in hand is actually the sound of the Western arts and media economy being flushed down the toilet, and while there is "an angle" to this film, it makes little sense for any thinking individual to respect it's purported "little guy makes good" myth.
