It’s a movie based on the book the Accidental Billionare. David Fincher and Alan Sorkin along with all the actors have said more then once it’s just a movie and that they took liberties with the movie to make it more interesting so whats the big deal?

Let’s admit it. If the movie were true to real life, then it would be boring as ****. The same is true for most biographical movies out there.

Imagine a movie where it’s Zuckerberg and his friends in a dorm room drinking Coke, cranking code, watching the Simpsons, getting Jack-in-the-Box, taking a dump, sleeping, cranking more code, driving to Safeway to get more Coke, pushing his code live, and so on.

Without the dramatization people would be falling asleep. A cocky, pretentious, smart and successful playboy is a more interesting character than a nice and humble nerd.

Lastly, I think Zuckerberg should DEFINITELY see this in that he would get a kick out of how inaccurate the movie is. If I were in his position, I know I would. Why take yourself so seriously? Not everyone has a movie made after them.

The writer of Your headline is misleading. Even Sorkin stated that he’s not interested in accuracy of fact, he’s only interested in writing a good story.
