Did anyone else see that movie and feel that this had been portrayed? The Zuckerberg in the movie obviously wanted to be part of the social group, but I also got that 'building' vibe. Maybe it is just because I compared the entire movie to The Fountainhead.



Yeah I got that from the movie too. It definitely illustrated that Mark had mixed motivations in creating Facebook, but generally it seemed to portray "building stuff" as an outlet to whatever more primordial drives (fear, angst, excitement, desire for power, status, etc.) were behind the action.

the movie wasn't about reality, it was about the exaggerated reality from court depositions, qualified by counter-arguments. Made me think of Rashomon.
