Excellent film.
Mark Zuckerberg is an spiteful nerd with no friends. Actually I agree with the girlfriend who breaks up with him at the beginning, he is an asshole. He is one of those mean, little people who writes biting blogs to get back at people because of his insecurities.
Anyhoo, he is invited by the Winklevoss twins to write a code for an exclusive dating site for Harvard. They entice him by inviting him into the Bicycle Room of one of the exclusive clubs that they are members of, and he is impressed.
He is already hacking and writing all sorts of codes to do things whilst at Harvard. He expands on the idea they have and invents the Facebook with his made Eduardo Savarin (whom he treats appallingly as the film goes on).
What sets this movie apart is the screenplay by Aaron Sorkin (West Wing amongst others) and direction by David Fincher. There aren't very many sympathetic characters in this movie, but I was gripped from beginning to end.
Good use of two hours in my opinion.
