My biggest problem with historical inaccuracy was about Zuckerberg's girlfriend.

Isn't it true that he has had the same girlfriend since before thefacebook.com? If that is true I think it changes the movie character in an important way from the real person.

I fall into the "Who gives a FUCK" side of this question. You want historical accuracy, go pick up a book. -- nm - con_carne Feb 25, 11:36 8
- I wish movies based on historical events would explain (as most historical fiction writers do) where they've deviated from the real history. - Stephen, Enemy of the RNC Feb 25, 11:47
- Sadly Facebook is going to be in History books. It's helping organize the uprising in the middle east. -- nm - lileve Feb 25, 11:38 2
  - and when it does, I doubt many people will be particularly interested in who his girlfriend was at the time. -- nm - znufrii Feb 25, 11:44 1
    - Mark Zuckerberg biographers will... but then, they would also pick up (download? mind meld?) a book -- nm - con_carne Feb 25, 11:45
- or go see a movie about historical events -- nm - moles Feb 25, 11:37 3
  - even then... - znufrii Feb 25, 11:37 2
    - really? you're comparing 1776 to Social Network?? -- nm - moles Feb 25, 11:38 1
      - no. - znufrii Feb 25, 11:40
Yes, that bothers me too. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 25, 11:35
it served the story, that's what's important. -- nm - znufrii Feb 25, 11:34 1
- i actually have a bit of a problem with it when you are using real names, a real company, real time and dates but add a fictional character that - Andie Feb 25, 12:03
No, the opening scene was very real. - David Feb 25, 11:31 2
- maybe it was the movie's way of saying to potential lawsuits, 'see it obviously wasn't about you' -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 25, 11:33 1
  - No, the stuff where he creates Facemash is right off the page of his blog. - David Feb 25, 11:36
