1. There is rarely a scene where Mark Zuckerberg is alone. How does this character view others and how do they view him? How is this conveyed? In what situations do we find him alone and what is he doing when he is by himself?

In the very beginning of the movie it shows the scene with Mark and a girl named Erica. Their conversation soon turns into an argument. This argument leads to Mark writing on his blog mean things about her. He then creates a site that ranked girls in the Harvard community. After this happens most people think he’s a bad guy for it. Many people view him as smart, and it is conveyed by many people asking him for things. Like the Winklevoss twins asking Mark to help them create the now called facebook. In most of the scenes when he is by himself he is on his computer creating things like facebook or bettering it.

2. To what extent are the students, most of whom come from rich families, portrayed in an unsympathetic light?

In the film, it's mainly about Mark Zuckerburg and how the Winklevoss twins along with Divya Narendra tried to have their lawyers test the fact that Zuckerburg stole their idea on facebook. The Winklevoss twins were rich because of their parents and they thought that because of that, they would be able to make Zuckerburg pay for stealing their idea. When their lawyers test the case, it doesn't really go well for the Winklevoss twins, and they are shown in an unsympathetic light because even though they have money, the lawyers still tested the lawsuit without a bias opinion.
