Mark Zuckerberg Says He Found The Social Network Hurtful

Mark Zuckerberg took part in a live Q&A yesterday, which was streamed
on Facebook (naturally), and opened up about how he reacted to the
flick, The Social Network. When asked how accurate the movie was by an
audience member, the 30-year-old shared,"Wow, I haven't spent a lot of
time thinking about that movie in a while. I kinda blocked that one
out. It was a very interesting experience to watch a movie that was
supposedly about my life...supposedly."

The billionaire went on to say,"I think the reality is that writing
code and building a product and then building a company actually is
not a glamorous enough thing to make a movie about. So you can imagine
that a lot of the stuff they probably had to embellish and make up. If
they were really making a movie, it would have been of me, sitting at
a computer coding for two hours straight, which probably would have
just not been that good of a movie and these guys, I think, want to
win awards and sell tickets."And while Zuckerberg does have some
perspective about the movie-making process, he admitted he was less
than pleased about certain parts of the David Fincher film."They went
out of their way in the movie to try to get some interesting details
correct, like the design of the office, but on the overarching plot,
in terms of why we're building Facebook to help connect the world, or
how we did it, they just kind of made up a bunch of stuff that I found
kind of hurtful," the tech CEO explained."I take our mission really
seriously...The thing that I found the most interesting about the movie,
was that they kind of made up this whole plot line about how I somehow
decided to create Facebook to, I think, attract girls."
