[h1]The Facebook Movie Is An Act Of Cold-Blooded Revenge – New, Unpublished IMs Tell The Real Story[/h1]
Nicholas Carlson | Sep. 21, 2010, 10:01 AM

On October 1, Columbia Pictures will release The Social Network, a film that portrays Facebook's CEO and cofounder, Mark Zuckerberg, as an arrogant nerd-punk who betrays friends and classmates in order to get what he wants – sex, money, and power.

The movie is fiction. So is the book it's based on – Ben Mezrich's The Accidental Billionaires.

Facebook hates the movie. Zuckerberg says he will not watch it.

Based on the early reviews of the movie, this makes sense.

According to sources – sources who despise Mark Zuckerberg and sources who admire him – the only reason The Accidental Billionaires exists is because one of Mark's Facebook cofounders pitched the book to Mezrich in an attempt to permanently damage Mark's reputation.

According to those sources, that cofounder and Harvard student is Eduardo Saverin.

This is the story of how Eduardo got so angry at Mark -- how, from Eduardo's perspective, Mark screwed him out of a huge chunk of Facebook stock. It's also the story of how Mark solved an early problem at Facebook, one that could potentially have prevented the company from becoming the global behemoth it is today.

The story is sourced from people involved in the founding year of Facebook, people close to Facebook, and documents viewed by Business Insider.  It includes previously unpublished emails and instant messages between Mark Zuckerberg and early Facebook colleagues and confidants.

The story starts here: "A sucker born every day" >>

There's a lot to it, but in a sense a lot of it is about spacing, needing only what is necessary but of high quality, and good design. This doesn't just pertain to where you live, but ideas, organization, economics... It's pretty complicated.

Loved this movie. I agree that it flew by. Amazing how I remember some of the timeline, I remember being one of the first major schools invited to participate in facebook. I remember when it was "the facebook" too.

I too follow the concept of minimalism. Quality >> quantity

Smart man. It truly is a great concept.

This is the problem with movies like this.  People have no context that the movie is a movie, written by a screenwriter who has no clue what happened.  I go home and see dumb @%%@+@% on twitter and facbook saying they don't like Mark Zuckerberg...Then #+#*@ get off facebook!  I thought the movie was a joke personally.

Couldn't help but feel like the movie was sort of a cliche anti-semetism.  Maybe that's me seeing something not there though idk.

Just read the article on the Business Insider and it seemed like Eduardo deserved to lose his shares in the company. He didn't do anything during the early stages of Facebook and was never really involved with it at all. So this seemed like the most logical choice to find a way to get him out of the company. Thinking back on the movie, it did seem a little one sided and because it was based on a book that Eduardo consulted on, it seemed extremely biased. But hey I don't really know the facts. Just what I read and see.

He didnt deserve that at all. Without his startup capital, FB wouldnt have survived the first expansion, let alone relocation and multiple servers being bought. You dont screw your investors because they're not involved... or there'd be no incentive for investors to be what they are. What Eduardo should have done was just relinquish all control to Mark as soon as he didnt fly out to California with him and Muskovitz.

But, mistakes were made and relationships went to hell. Oh well. No one's gonna know the REAL story since everyone's so butt hurt over everything.

Saw it last night.
REALLY enjoyed it, i thought the script was very clever and funny. The cinematography was great too, the scene with the rowing// music// tight focus line was off the chain.

I don't really believe the story because there are always two sides but I thought the movie was well done and it had my attention throughout. It didn't feel like a Fincher movie at all which is a good sign that he's moving into different areas and becomming more versatile.
