I just don't like the contrived marketing of the film. People should be able to draw their own conclusions from the characters. Instead the conclusions are shoved down their throats "punk, genius, billionaire."
Honestly, I didn't find anything "punk" about the film nor do I think he was a genius.
The lottery is proof that millions of dollars doesn't make you smarter.
- pchristensen 16y agoI agree. (all these observations are about movie Zuck, not real Zuck) He's not a punk, me's more like someone who has been bullied, pushed around, and ignored his whole life and he's not going to take it anymore. He might be a genius, but that's not what's special about him. It's his determination to succeed at any cost. Lots of 19 year olds are geniuses, but most know when to quit. Sure he's a billionaire, but there was only one line in the movie where that was even relevant (An extremely juicy line, I might add). He was after power, success, and influence much more than he was about money. I couldn't decide if the movie portrayed him as a sympathetic villain or a tragic hero. Probably more like a real life complicated person going through an amazing journey.

I liked that too. A lot of the dynamics and relationships weren't very black and white at all, which made it that much more engaging and realistic.
