I thought the original was pretty scathing myself. Care to elaborate on your thoughts here? I'm genuinely interested.
Oh man it was not. He's just such a fucking creep that he comes off as creepy even when they're trying to make him come off as great. It glossed over so much weird crap. Super creepy pervert stuff all over the place. You can look around for it there's tons of articles and writings about it. Lot of people have problems with that movie. Aaron Sorkin doesn't make movies where he doesn't make love to neoliberal idealism of corporate Geniuses saving the world. You should always take anything he makes with a huge grain of salt.
I'm appreciative of the response. Thank you. Is this pervy stuff in the book the film is based on?
