He is fed the germ of the idea by the Winklevoss twins (Armie Hammer) and using $1,000 from his best (and only) pal Eduardo Saverin (Andrew Garfield) is soon well on the way to developing "Facebook". That comes to the attention of the savvier Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake) but it's pretty clear that he and Saverin are no match made in heaven. As the story progresses, the personalities are quite sensitively and intensely developed as am
