1. [Respondent: Adam D'Angelo] Former Facebook CTO, founder of Quora,

their first house when they moved from Harvard to Palo Alto, where I lived at the time A summer vacation. The downhill rope from the chimney on the roof to the swimming pool in the movie is real. It's just that the chimney has not been collapsed. In the movie, they added scenes of the chimney being collapsed in order to increase the dramatic effect.

2. [Respondent: Aaron Greenspan (Aaron Greenspan)] He thinks he is the original owner of the Facebook idea, and he built the prototype houseSYSTEM. In Winklevos’s case against Mark Zuckerberg, he appeared in court as a witness. For details, please refer to the New York Times report. Aaron Greenspan considers himself the only important role omitted in this movie.

In the movie, Mark’s original motivation for establishing the website is described as a fascination with the Final Clubs. I don’t know if he is really fascinated, but one thing is certain is that he has other motives. For example, the Harvard school newspaper "The Crimson" hinted at making a school-wide portrait directory. In fact, I have already answered. It's been once. (See here: The Social Network (movie): What is the truth of the Facebook story?)

The part about Facemash in the film is very exaggerated, this is to make Mark's performance impressive to establish his "genius" image. In fact, there are only 6,400 undergraduates at Harvard University, and the movie claims that it “received 22,000 hits in two hours”, which means unless everyone suddenly uses the site. The fact is, before I read their story in the school newspaper "Crimson", many others, including me, didn't know what they did. Therefore, only very few people used this site in the first few hours. The traffic of their website (if the numbers in the movie are indeed accurate), then it is likely that they count each "click" on the page as one, and each individual visitor may have 2 to 3 times, or more Clicks. This website also did not have an impact on Harvard's campus network like in the movie. Obviously, the paralysis of the website occurred in Mark's dormitory, where the website was hosted. If HASCS (Harvard Arts and Science Computing Services Center) decides to suspend access to Mark's website, it is because the objectionable content hosted by Mark violates copyright laws. (Harvard University owns the copyright to the photos in the student portrait album Facebook.) The

school board in the film interrogated Mark, and Mark (unbelievably) asked the executive to thank him for warning of design loopholes on the campus network. This is obvious It reminds me of what I wrote in my book, basically the same thing-I have mentioned on various websites that HASCS has many security vulnerabilities that they refuse to admit-but I have never used these findings The loopholes do something or entertain yourself. I just sent an email to HASCS or related departments. Because Ben Mezrich (Note: The movie "Social Network" is adapted from the original book "The Accidental Billionaire: Facebook About Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal"," Ben Mezrich is the author of the book. ) Quoting my book as the original material, so this sentiment is probably also incorporated into Mark's character. If this is the case, this is not my intention.

The Sony VAIO used by Mark in the movie is completely accurate, and it is interesting that there is a sticker on the fireplace in the Kirkland House (Note: Mark’s dormitory in the movie) that says "USE OF THIS FIREPLACE IS PROHIBITED" (the fireplace is prohibited). In fact, in 2003, almost every dormitory at Harvard had such a sticker on the fireplace. That was because the school's administrative regulations changed at that time. The Apache configuration file directory list and WGET download command that appeared on Mark's notebook are exactly the same as those in the movie.

When Chris Hughes was mentioned in the movie, he was a programmer. But as far as I know, he was not a programmer at the time, and neither is he now. David Kirkpatrick (note: former "Fortune" magazine reporter, author of the book "The Facebook Effect") said that the understatement of Dustin Moskovitz's role in the film is also a true reflection of the time Circumstances-I am sure they have done a lot of work.

Although Random House confirmed that the original author, Ben Mozrich, did interview the Cameron Winklevoss twin brothers (Cameron Winklevoss), I am fairly certain that Larry Summer is involved in the film. The fragment of Larry Summers (note: Harvard University President and former Secretary of the Treasury) must have been influenced by the description I recalled when I met Summers at the beginning of my book. Larry Summers definitely did not call his assistant "punch me in the face." But when I met him, his behavior was as rude as in the movie, or worse. In real life, his assistant had to interrupt him to forcefully reorganize his language because they were very angry at the time.

Many campus buildings in the film also made mistakes. Of course, this is because Harvard University has some restrictions on filming. Maxwell-Dworkin is a modern glass building. Its name is carved on the front of a stone at the door, not on the glass. Bill Gates (I think the role is quite real) in the Lowell Lecture Hall (Lowell Lecture Hall), but he did not mention "the next Bill Gates (the next Bill Gates)", and the film A student mentioned it after the speech. Although at the end of the speech, I asked Bill Gates a question about the possibility of the next Microsoft.

All Facebook-related statements I made in court were attended by only one client (in my case, that is, myself), and the other parties were represented by their lawyers, and the lawyers asked questions one by one. The proceedings of the lawsuit have been recorded as video material. (I once posted a transcript of one of the testimonies, here.)

I don't know the real existence of the character Eduardo. I think this movie, with the exception of my role being completely ignored, depicts most of the things at the time, and captures the role of Eduardo (and the role of the Winklevoss brothers) during the years of my frustration. ). I really enjoy watching this movie.

3. [Respondent: Mark Zuckerberg] In an interview with Y Combinator’s entrepreneurial school on October 16, 2010, Mark was asked what he thought of the movie "Social Network". His answer is as follows (text from Ranjit Mathoda (transcribed by Ranjit Mathoda):

Many things they do to create realism are very interesting. I do have the same T-shirt and sweater for every character in the movie. But... there are many mistakes in the movie, and many very random details are true.

I think the most interesting part of this movie in terms of themes is that they got the frame of the whole movie wrong. At the beginning of the movie is me and a girl (this girl does not exist in real life), and she depressed me (in real life, this happens often). Basically, the framework of their movie is that I set up Facebook or something similar to get girls or to enter various social groups in Harvard.

People who know me in real life know that I am still dating the same girl who started Facebook at the beginning, so the movie is obviously unreal. The people who made this movie have a big disconnect between the people’s understanding of the motivations of the people in Silicon Valley to build things. They can’t understand that some people want to build things just because they like it.

4. [Respondent: Sean Parker] Former Facebook consultant and director, instructed Mark Zuckerberg to complete a lot of work at the beginning of Facebook's creation.

Sean Parker was asked what he thought of the movie "Social Network" while attending the DLD conference. Parker said that he enjoyed the film very much, it was well shot, and he respected the work of film director David Fincher, but the film was "completely fictitious."

Regarding the scene where he was taking drugs and accompanied by a Victoria’s Secret girl in the movie, Parker said, "I wish my life was that cool."

Parker explained: "This movie makes me the most What makes me uncomfortable is when the character of Sean Parker, played by Justin Timberlake, wrote a check and Eduardo, threw it in his face, and drove him out of the Facebook building. In fact, I am still I often contact Eduardo, and he is my friend. It is very unreasonable to do that in the movie. Who would do it? "

    #重看#4.5; The editing and soundtrack are almost full scores, and the seamless coordination of the dense lines, the overall presentation is just like the fighting messages sent by these rampant young people to the "adult" world. Order has been reset and the right to speak has been reset. Diversion, at the nodes of the drumbeat rhythm, a huge and dramatic network entrepreneurial event was laid out compactly and reasonably, and the non-linear plots overlapped with an oppressive rhythm. Sure enough, sexual motivation is the primary productive force. It started from the resentment after the end of the relationship, and finally did not respond to the request to add friends, just in response to the phrase "you are just trying to be a bastard"; only after repeated betrayals, his heart How much innocence can exist? A person who creates a huge circle of friends ultimately has no friends. Friendship and loyalty are at the bottom of the capital world. There is a deep sadness behind the joyous humor.

    We watched "Wall Street" 20 years ago, and 20 years later we watched "Social Network". Sure enough, those who want to make a major event can kill their loved ones! ! ! ! !

The Social Network quotes

  • Erica Albright: Is it true that they send a bus around to pick up girls who want to party with the next Fed chairman?

    Mark Zuckerberg: So you can see why it's so important to get in.

    Erica Albright: Okay, well, which is the easiest to get into?

    Mark Zuckerberg: [pauses, taken aback] Why would you ask me that?

    Erica Albright: I was just asking.

    Mark Zuckerberg: None of them. That's the point. My friend Eduardo made $300,000 betting oil futures one summer, and Eduardo won't come close to getting in. The ability to make money doesn't impress anybody around here.

  • Erica Albright: Well, why don't you just concentrate on being the best you you can be.

    Mark Zuckerberg: Did you really just say that?

    Erica Albright: I was kidding. Although just because something's trite doesn't make it any less true.

    Mark Zuckerberg: I want to try to be straightforward with you and tell you I think you might want to be a little more supportive. If I get in I will be taking you to the events, and the gatherings, and you'll be meeting a lot of people you wouldn't normally get to meet.

    Erica Albright: [Erica stares at Mark for a moment, then smiles] You would do that for me?

    Mark Zuckerberg: [Shrugs] We're dating.

    Erica Albright: Okay. Well I want to be straightforward with you and let you know that we're not anymore.

    Mark Zuckerberg: What do you mean?

    Erica Albright: We're not dating anymore, I'm sorry.

    Mark Zuckerberg: Is this a joke?

    Erica Albright: No, it's not.

    Mark Zuckerberg: You're breaking up with me?

    Erica Albright: You're going to introduce me to people I wouldn't normally have the chance to to meet? What the f... what is that supposed to mean?

    Mark Zuckerberg: Wait. Settle down...

    Erica Albright: What is it supposed to mean?

    Mark Zuckerberg: Erica, the reason we're able to sit here and drink right now is because you used to sleep with the door guy.

    Erica Albright: The door guy? His name is Bobby. I have not slept with the door guy. The door guy is a friend of mine, and he is a perfectly good class of people. And what part of Long Island are you from, Wimbledon?
