Aaron Sorkin’s Oscar-winning screenplay about the invention of Facebook may be almost complete fiction, but its take on the truth is very entertaining. The film’s Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg, in a career-defining role) is a convenient paradox, the antisocial genius who got the whole world to “friend” each other but cut himself off in the process from everyone with whom he was even a little bit close. Yet the film gets right the big-picture truths — especially about the way money destroys friendship.
