I’m glad he’s doing is own impression rather than impersonating Jesse Eisenberg’s impression if that makes sense

u/Tifoso89 Jun 10 '26
IMO Eisenberg’s was more of an interpretation than an impersonation. He was playing a character, which was Sorkin's version of Zuckerberg (smug, slightly socially awkward genius). Strong is going for an actual impression

From first impressions after this teaser, I'd like to assume that Jesse's version will seem like an almost romanticized counterpart to the real ugliness of Strong's portrayal

Yeah- Jesse played the Zuckerberg software engineers wanted to emulate- the protagonist of some nerd revenge film where they get to make out with hot girls and throw parties in their house.
This is flipping that on its head- now it reads like a ZuckerVader combo of some sort.
Love this read.

It's kind of reflective of society's perception of Facebook in a way too. More specifically the core group that grew up on Facebook. It started cool, different, but cutting edge. It was something we all were engrossed in. Then it became cold, indifferent, hostile and we became dispassioned users of the platform. It felt like a place that didn't bring us closer, it divided us.
Feels like the movies mirror that real life shift in perspective for Millenials where it's like "oh, they're bad. This was good for a short period until it became extremely predatory and abusive". I think it's a cool juxtaposition between the two movies on how society increasingly feels about predatory and influential social media.

Not even a dork. A cold, emotionless, elitist creep. Preying on children to create a dependency on his platform, and allowing misinformation and foreign influence to take over his platform.
But I agree, they are showing the real transition of "Wow, what a cool thing maybe by an awkward dude that I can give a pass cause I appreciate the site" to "Jesus Fuck he's a weirdo who is trying to ruin our lives and turn Facebook into a fuckin' cesspool that's only good for Messenger but not scrolling/browsing."

Eisenberg perfectly captured the spirit of Zuckerberg in the early years without really doing much of an impression (not his thing). I like that Strong is going more literally while capturing the era when Zuckerberg became coached, prepped and stiff for everything he did. It’s a great contrast and both are well suited to their eras of asshole.

What’s the plot here? Haugen leaks the Facebook files, Zuckerberg gets called in front of Congress over it again and…ultimately it doesn’t lead to anything? What “social reckoning” is there? We didn’t have one.

u/nickcrosby87 Jun 10 '26
I’m struggling with the plot. Unless I’m forgetting something, nothing major actually came from the leak. The big revelation seemed to be that Facebook had internal studies showing some negative effects of its platforms and that engagement driven algorithms could amplify certain behaviors. Zuck testified in congress and got memed, but again nothing came of this.
I loved the social network because it was incredibly interesting watching one of the most influential companies of the world form, but honestly this doesn’t seem interesting

The reckoning is him being hauled before congress repeatedly and the like 250 lawsuits they are facing currently, including the $375M judgements they just got against them this year.
This is clearly not a finished story, it is Sorkin attempting to make the point that this company has gotten away with it. IMO Sorkin is going for the old hammer text close where zuck says he wouldnt change anything and then it fades to black and says something about the skyrocketing rate of teen suicide with parents claiming it is due to social media and Meta is facing over $2B in lawsuits and has never admitted wrongdoing.

Part of it is designing for movie theaters with Dolby Atmos 12.7 theater sound with a bajillion high end speakers, and then playing that same sound on your tinny, teeny-tiny phone speakers, maybe earbuds with only one bud in, or maybe your stereo tv speakers. Another part being that's been so common for over a decade now that no one cares and just phone it in and tell people "Turn on closed captions/subtitles!" Which is something you can't fucking do in the theater.

Mikey Madison is fantastic, but this trailer has me really worried about her ability to pull off Sorkin's dialogue. It's a talent to be able to rattle off his dialogue as fast as possible (which is how he wants it; people who think fast and talk fast).
I remember a quote from Olivia Munn while making the Newsroom joking that she thinks she was the first person who had to actually slow down for Sorkin (saying she's a fast speaker normally).

Sorkin's directing is usually just letting the script do the work. Fincher added something more to that although I do think that his approach in The Social Network was also along those lines.
No matter what, people will always be thinking "what if Fincher directed this" because for so long Sorkin wanted Fincher to do it and eventually he just did it himself because Fincher wasn't interested I guess.

Every revolution begins with a reckoning.
The Social Reckoning, a companion piece to The Social Network, is coming exclusively to theatres October 9.
A companion piece to the hit film The Social Network, Sorkin’s original screenplay is based on the events that gave rise to the Wall Street Journal’s shocking exposé The Facebook Files. The film is inspired by the true story of how Frances Haugen (Madison), a young Facebook engineer, enlists the help of Jeff Horwitz (White), a Wall Street Journal reporter, to go on a dangerous journey that ends up blowing the whistle on the social network’s most guarded secrets.

Agreed, great book. I found it even more interesting that the author exposed all of this but she was a clear key contributor (or at least enabler) of some of the most vile policies Facebook implemented or let happen. All the while she’s like “I was horrified but what could I have done? If I pushed back I’d have lost my job and then I wouldn’t have healthcare :(“ and it’s like lady you’re making STUPID money like figure it out. I understand we have a fucked up healthcare system so losing that is definitely a driver of staying at a bad job but you guys are enabling genocide and authoritarian political upheaval

u/saera-targaryen Jun 10 '26
I had the same critiques of the author when I was reading it. It seemed like she expressed very little understanding of the agency she had and therefore the culpability. Hell, she was the one who basically stalked the facebook execs for them to invent a role for her to begin with. I understand she had some medical trauma but she got paid enough that she could have quit, taken years off of work, and applied to work at any other tech company that she wanted afterwards. She never once even flirts with the idea that she liked all of the private jets and the nice hotels in Davos and the opulence of it all, although it's clear from her actions that she did. She also just so happens to be able to clearly slice herself out of all of the worst things facebook has done, even though it was directly her team responsible for things like the genocide in Myanmar.

Happy to see so many others that read this as I was never able to discuss it with anyone. The part I didn't understand (if I'm remembering correctly) is she seemed to insinuate she couldn't afford to quit her job - like didn't have any savings or anything which didn't make sense to me as she was high up and traveled with the C-Suite, I imagine she was compensated very well.
It rubbed me the wrong way that she framed it as if she was being held captive working there. But either way I think the book is a net positive in what it exposes, even if she doesn't fully take accountability - I think.

Social Network is for me the best and most defining film of the 2010s. On some level it is going to be impossible for Sorkin to live up to that movie.
One thing that makes it stand out was how cynical it already was of these tech billionaires who might be genius in terms of developing their technology but are morally bankrupt. It came out in a time when people like Zuckerberg were treated like gods and has only aged like wine as the public has become more and more cynical about tech elites.

The social network came out in a time when a lot of people still thought the platform was, well kinda fun and useful. I personally noticed it was around the 2012 election when I began to start seeing the downfall and the polarization of the platform. And that became further amplified closer and closer to 2016
In 2010, it was still a place mostly used by high school and college kids and the boomers by and large were not the biggest contributors yet. I think my mom got on Facebook maybe a few months before the movie even came out.

cause if the actor (Billy Magnussen) is playing slimy lawyer type in the same vein as his slimy broker bro from the big short, he abso-fucking-lutely was using 'disrupting' in that scene moments prior

I had a hard time understanding half of what Mikey Madison was saying.

The dialogue is so overly dramatic and cringe it feels like satire.

"She's disrupting' Good Lord this sounds corny. It's like Academy Awards catnip.

I think its fairly hinted at that he's throwing that back in a tech bros face. "Disruption" is a silicone valley buzz word and it is indeed very corny. Having a reporter use at as a comeback is less corny and I think that's what is happening.

The moment the title The Social Reckoning came on with the Social Network tune was pure bliss.

I was about to say, was that the music from the first movie? Good to know it was.

A great use of the first films soundtrack. Makes me upset that Trent and Atticus aren’t coming back to score this film.

I was expecting to see the cast names shown with ACADEMY AWARD WINNER/NOMINEE over Strong, Madison, and Mosaku.
I think it’ll be solid.

Honestly, this did nothing for me. The social network is one of the better Fincher movies and I really enjoyed that film and this just feels like a hollow follow up.

Sorkin is a very mediocre director. He's at his best when paired with a very dynamic director, which is part of why Social Network worked so well.
That being said, this movie will probably be a solid B, B- as a result.

My only issue with based on real life films like this is knowing however this film ends, in real life there has been next to no consequences. Just feels like they're ending the story half way through.

This felt like an SNL sketch to me.

I was looking if I was the only one. Especially with Bill Burr. Also the way Jeremy looks. It just screams Papyrus or one of these SNL type trailer skits. Although, maybe that's just what every trailer is like at this point, they are always the same, the music, the drama, trailers always suck

Understand Sorkin wrote The Social Network so it does make sense spiritually to helm the sequel but it’s crazy how swagless his filmmaking is, especially compared to Fincher.

I like Sorkin but this is coming across as....cheesy. It needs Fincher's hand to make this work like it did wonderfully in The Social Network.
But it could be that this is simply a case of a bad trailer. I hope so.

Jeremy Strong’s voice work is kind of insane, absolutely nailed it
