``The Social Network'' became legendary, with over 90 takes over 5 minutes. Fincher's focus is on the joy of actors.

Regardless of the facts, those who recognized it as a movie

The cast members also did not have a Being There to meet the models before filming. Only Justin Timberlake has met Sean Parker, but it was a chance encounter in New York before he was cast in this film. Justin recalled that time, ``I just said hi. He was a nice guy.''

Armie Hammer and Josh Pence, who played the Winklevoss twins who sued Zuckerberg (they played the physical parts of one of the twins; the head was a digital composite of Armie's), met the twins after the film was completed. He said he heard from them that they were satisfied. Josh Pence, who was a member of the rowing club during his college days, once competed in the same competition as the Winklevoss brothers from Harvard's rowing team.

So, has Mark Zuckerberg seen the finished film? He originally had no intention of seeing it, but he rented out a movie theater and gathered all the Facebook employees to watch it. Although he commented that ``there were some parts that were not based on reality,'' he seemed to have accepted it as a movie.

Zuckerberg had never even tried the Appletini (a cocktail made with vodka and gin mixed with apple juice and soda) that Zuckerberg drinks with Sean Parker and others in the movie. However, when he tried it after watching the movie, he liked it so much that he adopted it as Facebook's official drink.

After watching The Social Network, Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskowitz (played by Joe The Social Network , who played John Deacon on Bohemian Rhapsody ) said, It was interesting to see how things were emphasized and what happened wasn't depicted. I guess it's more fun to think back to that era, when people were crazy and indulged in alcohol and sex, just like the movie depicts. The original story and screenplay. may be critical of Zuckerberg, but the video honestly conveys his positive qualities.It feels like it's meant to be portrayed,'' he admits, albeit a little cynically, and perhaps Mark Zuckerberg. One can imagine that Berg himself felt the same way.
