The actual Facebook has been playing clumsy defense against the film, including having the real Mr. Zuckerberg pop out of nowhere on “ Oprah ” to donate $100 million to the schools of Newark, but my hunch is that the company doesn’t have much to worry about. 
  
 Regardless of what the courts, the media or former partners say, Mr. Zuckerberg’s reign as boy-king of America’s new capitalism will only grow. (Perhaps the company realized as much. On Friday, Mr. Zuckerberg made the smart move and attended a screening with other employees from Facebook. Why pretend?) 
  
 However lacking Mr. Zuckerberg may be in the social graces that drive civil society, he embodies the optimism and creativity of millennials. To many who will see the film, the spectacular ends make the means seem beside the point. 
  
 As played in the film by Jesse Eisenberg and written by Aaron Sorkin , Mr. Zuckerberg is a social autistic who pivots between brilliance and hubris on his way to becoming the youngest billionaire the world has seen. 
  
 As the characters around him chatter and amble about, Mr. Zuckerberg is often seen looking away, into a future that only he can see. And when people don’t come around to that vision, he runs them over or blows past them. Whether you see those people as victims or impediments probably says a lot about whether you are looking at life in the rearview or through a front windshield rife with possibilities.

 Mr. Eisenberg said that after screening the film and listening to audiences, he sensed a bifurcation in how people saw the movie, and by extension, Mr. Zuckerberg. 
  
 “I was asked by older people again and again how I could play a character who is capable of being so mean, as if I were almost condemned by this role,” he said in a phone call. “But young people never had that reaction. They kept saying, ‘This guy was a genius. Look what he has created.’ ”

 “For a lot of people my age” — Mr. Eisenberg is 26, the same age as Mr. Zuckerberg — “the message is that technology allows you to create something that can change things from a single computer. You don’t need a secretary, you don’t need an office building and you don’t need employees.”

 It’s not as if the archetype of the ruthless entrepreneur is unique to “The Social Network” in pop culture. In fact, “Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps,” which is also in theaters, features not one but two vivid exemplars of the genre: Gordon Gekko, played by Michael Douglas , and Bretton James, played by Josh Brolin , who spend time piling up personal wealth and plotting payback. But they play characters who never invented anything other than obscure, ultimately worthless financial instruments to enrich themselves. The only time they reached a half a billion, it had a dollar sign in front. 
  
 Perhaps what animates “The Social Network” and makes it of the moment is not whether the movie version of Mr. Zuckerberg is a jerk — with a face pinched into prickliness and a tendency to staple people with his mouth, he was clearly no picnic to be around — but the kind of jerk he was. 
  
 “The fact that he was hard on the people around him is not really new, or generational,” said Nick Denton, the founder of Gawker . “What may be different is that in the past, those people have been far more colorful and charismatic. They have embraced that side of themselves. But for people like Zuckerberg, it’s more like Asperger’s, that they lack something essential and don’t have an instinctual understanding of human behavior. That’s why he ended up creating algorithms to explain it.” 
  
 “I think the movie raises the question of whether it is possible to be successful without being at least a bit” of a brute, said Mr. Denton, who has been called worse on his way to building his digital media empire. “Much of the movie seemed to be about the virtues of stubbornness, about not listening to what was said by others around you.” 
  
 Mr. Sorkin noticed the different reactions as he screened the movie early around the country, and he couldn’t be happier. 
  
 “I’m happy we didn’t take a position, and I’m happy for audiences to come out of the theater arguing about it,” he said. “Regardless of what they conclude about who invented Facebook, there is no question that Mark Zuckerberg is a genius. He doesn’t just have brains. He created something.” (Speaking of global ambition, Mr. Sorkin was fresh out of a private screening of the movie for Lady Gaga . She “liked” it, by all accounts.) 
  
 For a guy who is on his way to making many billions, the Zuckerberg in the movie sounds less like a capitalist than an artist lost in his work. Early in the film, the Eduardo Saverin character, a co-founder, who will end up run over by lawyers and his former friend and partner, presses Mr. Zuckerberg on coming up with a completed project and a business model to go with it. 
  
 “When will it be finished?” Mr. Saverin asks. 
  
 “It won’t be finished,” Mr. Zuckerberg says, and, ever the jerk-visionary, adds, “That’s the point.” ||||| The ubiquitous social-networking site Facebook has mushroomed into a global pop-culture phenomenon, since the site launched in 2004. So, perhaps it's not too surprising that the flick "The Social Network," which is based on the rise of the social-media juggernaut, found a huge audience at the box office. The much-anticipated film, featuring performances from Web-averse leading lad Jesse Eisenberg and pop hitmaker-turned-thespian Justin Timberlake, opened Friday with $8 million. 
  
 "Network" kicked last week's box-office winner, "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," down to second place. The long-awaited sequel to the Oliver Stone-helmed 1987 stock-market tale rang up roughly $3.3 million in ticket sales. The numbers from Friday's box-office showing bumped the Michael Douglas and Shia LaBeouf vehicle's total estimated haul to just over $29 million. 
  
 The Ben Affleck-directed bank-robber pic "The Town" continues to clean up at the box office. Entering its third week in theaters, the Boston-based heist jaunt racked up a little over $3 million on Friday. The weekend-kickoff tally brings the film's domestic gross to roughly $57 million since its mid-September release. 
  
 "Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole" began its second-week run in fourth place. Featuring voice-over performances from big-name stars such as Helen Mirren, and boasting stunning CG work, the family-friendly flick picked up $2.6 million. The film has made nearly $22 million in theaters. 
  
 Heaving with hormones and high-school humiliation, "Easy A" remains a strong pick among moviegoers. The Emma Stone starrer rounds out the top five with nearly $2.3 million. "A" is inching toward a total estimated haul of $38 million.

The Social Network is officially a hit—it won the weekend box office—but different viewers came away with wildly different impressions, according to David Carr of the New York Times. Older people see it as a cautionary tale about a young man who betrays all his friends and principles. Younger people see a story of a visionary who did what he had to do to create something huge. “When you talk to people afterward, it was as if they were seeing two different films,” says one producer. “The older audiences see Zuckerberg as a tragic figure … while young people see him as completely enhanced, a rock star.” Jesse Eisenberg says he’s experienced the same thing. “I was asked by older people again and again how I could play a character who is capable of being so mean,” the 26-year-old actor says.
