The Facebook Movie Comes Out Today. Is It Fact or Fiction?

arrives in theaters around America today. Written by Aaron Sorkin (creator of the TV shows The West Wing and Sports Night), the film purports to tell the tale of Mark Zuckerberg's creation of Facebook at Harvard, and drips with backstabbing high drama. The early reviews are in, and the forming consensus is: It's a fabulous film, but don't go to the cinema expecting the truth. The Facebook company itself has called the film a fiction. But that's partly because Zuckerberg has shown no inclination to discuss his history—at least not with the creators of this film.
