Amazing factual movie. Excellent casting, right ppl for the right roles- half the battle was done. I also liked the concept of straight face story-telling, with just grappling with one key element i.e Screenplay. Minimalist and clean, u may say. Also the music, is also big contributing factor : it hurries the viewer and sets up anticipation that the 'very scene' is important in the context of the movie. Has a very 'zimmermanish' feel to it right from the opening sequence to the last credits. Technically brilliant, stands second to Godfather, in being loyal to the book and getting all its act together.
Well, as an experience : the takeaway chuckle is ' want to wat balls is: watch the movie ' especially for guys like us-entrepreneurs. But i dont how much one needs to read in to all these silicon valley success stories...almost all of them- windows, apple, now facebook:::have the elements - betrayal, forgery, lawsuits, manic obsessive disorders as key stepping stones for success. A far-cry from the idealist and bookish world. All of them seem 'fractured geniuses exploiting the situation to make it big: which by itself is genious'. Make u think, wat happnd to good old,,,,trust, hardwork,,etc. Well these we the pondering thoughts which the movie experience induced.
My only regret : SHOULD have watched it on the big screen.
