The Social Network (2010) - I'm Not a Bad Guy Scene (10/10) | Movieclips

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Marylin (Rashida Jones) advises Mark (Jesse Eisenberg) to settle his court case.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
Director David Fincher (Fight Club, Seven) teams with screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (The West Wing) to explore the meaning of success in the early 21st century from the perspectives of the technological innovators who revolutionized the way we all communicate. The year was 2003. As prohibitively expensive technology became affordable to the masses and the Internet made it easy to stay in touch with people who were halfway across the world, Harvard undergrad and computer programming wizard Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) launched a website with the potential to alter the very fabric of our society. At the time, Zuckerberg was just six years away from making his first million. But his hearty payday would come at a high price, because despite all of Zuckerberg's wealth and success, his personal life began to suffer as he became mired in legal disputes, and discovered that many of the 500 million people he had friended during his rise to the top were eager to see him fall. Chief among that growing list of detractors was Zuckerberg's former college friend Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield), whose generous financial contributions to Facebook served as the seed that helped the company to sprout. And some might argue that Zuckerberg's bold venture wouldn't have evolved into the cultural juggernaut that it ultimately became had Napster founder Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake) not spread the word about Facebook to the venture capitalists from Silicon Valley. Meanwhile, the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer and Josh Pence) engage Zuckerberg in a fierce courtroom battle for ownership of Facebook that left many suspecting the young entrepreneur might have let his greed eclipse his better judgment. The Social Network was based on the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich.

HIT US UP:

[epm]

I love that she doesn’t even make an excuse. Just says she can’t.

[pablomarin]

Since watching this movie a second time, I really think that Mark was jealous of Eduardo's social ability. In this scene by mark asking her to dinner and she still says no shows that even after everything, he still the same awkward guy desperate to be known. All he has left is his business.

[mayank]

This scene was so good, it showed the lawyer’s reluctance to have dinner with Mark after she learned about everything that has happened and Mark kind of knew why she declined.

[planetruths]

If you have to tell people you're not the bad guy, you are the bad guy.

[comixproviderftw_]

"I'm not the bad guy."

I can't wait for the sequel.

[justinbe]

I really like Rashida Jones' character in this movie. For me, she was like an audience member herself reacting to all the crazy things that happens throughout the story

[TheVerbalAxiom]

Moral of the story

Don't trust anti social nerds who get drunk and blog

[IanWeaver]

2003: I just want to make a cool website.
2010: I just want to screw over my friends.
2020: I just sell people's information for profit.

[JulietteConti]

People don't get the subtlety of this scene. We just heard 85% of exaggeration and 15% of perjury : we are the jury. The minute the lawyer talked about Sean Parker, we immediately assumed Mark Zuckerberg denounced him. We never got to hear Mark's side of the story. Mark's most powerful tool is silence : all of his lines are rhetorical, not informational. He learned the defects of speech when he blogged about Erica, and created a network in which people blurb out every single thought they have as if it were incredibly important.

[allys]

I love his only line of defense: “I invented Facebook.” Yes, you did, Mark. Anything else?

[solezeta]

I love the shot of Mark sitting alone in the room full of empty chairs at 2:24. Such good symbolism.

[MrHEC]

"I'm not a bad guy"
(One year after this clip was uploaded)

Uh oh....

[plgrnr]

"In the scheme of things, it's a speeding ticket."
A fitting metaphor.
His shady business practices might have cost him money, but they made him *far* more.
He got where he was going faster than he would have if he obeyed the 'speed' limit, as it were.

[rsfilmdiscussionchannel]

I didn't get the meaning of the "trying so hard to be" line for years, but now I understand it. He acts like an jerk because he thinks it'll help him become sucessful. And by the end of the film, he is practically at the top despite all the fights he's started. Yet he's alone. That's why him trying to friend Erica is so perfect, he's trying to fix that mindset after practically having it be pointed out to him.

[Eva-owpu]

“Creation myths need a devil” is a critically underrated line

[mai]

"Farm animals"
I love how he remembers the one moment, the one idea that sent him here. An idea he got when he was drunk and angry.

[LuisMartinez-rwlj]

I think this might be the first time in the movie where mark closes his computer to talk to someone

[bothson]

“Baby, you’re a rich man” by the Beatles was the best song to end this movie

[SacredCowStockyards]

Mark being surprised about the settlement is one part of that story that's totally fictitious. Mark was planning on getting sued and settling with Eduardo, he just needed him out of the way.

[mmario]

The point is, they signed a non disclosure agreement. So everything we see in this film, no one knows what really happened.
