Geniality and Arrogance Associated to an Absolute Lack of Ethics and Respect

Rating: 7/10 (26 February 2011)

In the Harvard University, in the Fall of 2003, the arrogant nerd Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) is an outcast student that shares his room in the Kirkland House with his only friend, the Brazilian Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield). When Mark's girlfriend Erica Albright (Rooney Mara) breaks with him, he blogs infamies about her in his Facematch and breaches the security and hacks the files of the female students of Harvard in a competition of who would be the hottest. His blog has 22,000 accesses and Mark is loathed by the students and gets six months of academic probation. However, he calls the attention of the twin students Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss (Armie Hammer) and their partner Divya Narendra (Max Minghella) that are preparing a social network and need a programmer. Mark steals their idea and invites Eduardo to be his partner in the social network Facebook. Sooner Mark becomes a millionaire, betrays Eduardo and faces law suits from his former friend, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss and Divya Narendra.
"The Social Network" is the true story of the creation of the Facebook, by Mark Zuckerberg, who is described as an arrogant, unethical, outcast, douchebag nerd. His geniality and arrogance associated to an absolute lack of Ethics and respect makes him an unbearable and despicable character. Fortunately I do not have Facebook. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "A Rede Social" ("The Social Network")
