Where to Watch

This was not my Harvard, but I graduated in 1997, didn’t party because I used my free time to work so I could afford life at college and hung out with a lot of socially conservative people, including, but not exclusively, Christians & was a member of Hillel. Is it realistic? Who knows? Real Zuckerberg has same girlfriend since college so you decide. With that said, I also never worked with computers, was interested in finals clubs, am far from a budding billionaire or a dude so that could also explain the disparity. My only issue with portrayal of Zuckerberg is that it does not feel real. It reduces him to an Asperger Citizen Kane who doesn’t know how to respond to external stimuli & while I’m sure that he’s focused, awkward & his voice is like that, I don’t believe that he is like that from my few glimpses of him on tv. Realism doesn’t = good movie & The Social Network was a good movie though I preferred Fincher’s Zodiac, which blew me away & am willing to watch with anyone who wants to!
