A fascinating account of how Mark Zuckerberg started with a drunken idea that turned into a $25 billion giant of social media. Easy to follow timeline, despite the constant use of flashbacks, TSN gives a glimpse of the madness that was the 2000's in the tech world. Eisenberg's performance is stellar as Zuckerberg, and the supporting cast contribute very well. Technically and historically factual, TSN is a must see for any of the 500 million people on Facebook every day. 10/10.

Factual error: When Mark types email addresses in to tell people about facemash, he writes to several people @harvard.edu. At the time the movie takes place, undergraduate email addresses were all of the form username@fas.harvard.edu. Furthermore, the network brought down by facemash would have been referred to as the FAS network. (FAS stands for Faculty of Arts and Sciences; the eponymous network covered all buildings within the College and Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.).

Question: When Eduardo discovers the dilution of his percentage, he asks Mark if he did it because of the "article about the chicken", which accused Eduardo of forced animal cannibalism. Sean Parker hears this and says, "What's he talking about?" and then says "Seriously, what's the chicken?" Is this implying he was the one who gave the chicken story to Mark's lawyer so he could use it in the previous scene where he mentions it?

Answer: No, earlier when it came up in the lawyers office, Eduardo thought it came from Mark, but the lawyer stepped in and said they were able to find it themselves. Sean really had no idea what he was talking about, but didn't use it against him.
