GREAT screenplay and acting

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2010)

I really liked this movie, engaging from beginning to end. All the acting and the dialogue is superb. Jessie Eisenberg should be nominated for a Best Actor Oscar, as well as, Andrew Garfield as Eduardo Saverin for Best Supporting Actor. While it clearly is a work of fiction, and must be accepted as such, it parallels the history of Facebook which is a fascinating story. I believe Mark Zuckerberg may have poor social skills, but I don't know if he is really as far on the Autistic continuum as this movie portrays. Also, having had a son at Harvard during this exact time period, I think the pompous aristocratic clubs and parties were highly exaggerated. And yes, Larry Summers can be an ass, but his scene was a little over the top. I think it made the Woosledick twins look like jerks, which they were.
