Very engaging and reflective of the current culture/generation.
As a geek, I liked how they didn't do a lot of fake flashy computer stuff (looked like he was using KDE3 and it was butt ugly). Though netbooks weren't around yet in 2003. ;)
- frisco 16y agoHow accurate was the jargon? When they talked about hacking, or were coding on screen, was it realistic?
- il 16y agoIt actually was pretty realistic. When he was talking about writing a shell script to wget images from Harvard facebooks, I smiled to myself a little.
- chopsueyar 16y agoDo you consider that hacking?
- chopsueyar 16y agoTo clarify, I meant, in the context of the movie, where Zuckerberg is accused of hacking by the administration because he used wget. Downvote away!
- trustfundbaby 16y agoThat was when I got sold on the movie. You could see him fire up putty on his windows xp box and catch snippets of code as he ran perl & shell scripts to do exactly what he wanted.
- birken 16y agoThat part at the beginning was certainly realistic. The part where there were 6 guys interviewing for facebook by taking a shot a minute "cracking SSL" or whatever it was surrounded by 30 screaming people was not realistic.
- neilk 16y agoYeah, it was Swordfish-esque. And they started so well. Too bad. I guess the screenwriter just needed a "triumph" moment at that point in the script, something that the audience can share in other than some interns completing a programming assignment.
- chopsueyar 16y ago"Welcome to Facebook." Does he then send the other 5 inebriated guys home?
- tsmall 16y agoWhat? You don't want to fly through a world of 3D towers with flashing text on them while you hack the Gibson? :)
- chopsueyar 16y agoI'd take Jolie over Eisenberg, personally.
- chopsueyar 16y agoThey did use Motorola RAZRs, though.
