Jesse Eisenberg no longer wants to be ‘associated’ with Mark Zuckerberg
The actor, who played the Facebook founder in The Social Network, criticised Meta’s decision to scrap factcheckers
If I play Hitler in a movie it doesn’t mean I support hitler.
I am mildly surprised that it took this long
I associate him a lot more with bad acting then Zuckerberg.
Man made a holocaust movie at a strange time, he also took a birthright trip to israel
Taking the trip then not moving is just costing their marketing dollars and worsening the conversion.
I'd take a free trip almost anywhere.
woe is me, while my ppl (he is pro israel) commit genocide, my history is so sad, this is a great time to make a movie on it
I just associate him with a shitty lex luthor
Who?
I mean, he also interpreted a bald, crazy billionaire supervillain. But we shouldn't associated him with Jeff Bezos just for that.
Jesus fucking Christ the tunnel vision of this guy:
“These people have billions upon billions of dollars, like more money than any human person has ever amassed and what are they doing with it?
“Oh, they’re doing it to curry favour with somebody who’s preaching hate.
“That’s what I think ... not as like a person who played in a movie. I think of it as somebody who is married to a woman who teaches disability justice in New York and lives for her students are going to get a little harder this year.”
You ever heard of the multiple genocides fuelled by Facebook?!
Jesus even when someone is on your side you have to pick a problem. This is why the right gets by, every shade of cunt working together while you cant look beyond the guy with a personal link zuck having a personal issue with his actions.
This isn't some moral purity thing, I'm not attacking his charity work or his political stance, I am criticising his actions, or rather ignorance, specifically on this. It's also wildly different to criticise an actor with a bad take and no representation in politics than if he were a politician I was considering voting for. I'd still criticise the take, but if we aligned politically I'd still vote for him. Criticism is not "cancelling".
He probably hasn't, tbh. To most of us here on Lemmy, that's old news and we're already off the Zuck train, but most people don't look into stuff like that, and it certainly wasn't reported.
Then maybe you should have thought of that before becoming "that guy who played Zuckerberg". Eisenberg had plenty of movies he could have made instead I'm sure.
He is an actor, that is his job. How is it his fault that people are not capable of differentiating the role from the person?
Never said that was his fault, but he did chose to portray a living person. There is repercussions to that sometimes. He had other good points in his comments but to try to dissociate from your most influential role is silly IMO. The public perceives him to be "from the Facebook movie", whether he likes it or not.
You have to remember 2010 was a much different time. Facebook was still relatively fun and cool. Social media hadn't completely destroyed the fabric of our society yet, it's was still mostly a novelty and most people didn't really know Mark Zuckerberg at all beyond being the guy who made Facebook. Then you have David Fincher who's one of the most sought-after directors pairing with one of Hollywood's top writers. Every actor would jump at this opportunity.
Like we knew Mark was a weasely little shit but the problems were mostly contained to the sphere of influence that was a still growing Facebook. The world and political landscape has been completely turned upside down in the preceding 15 years. Mark is a much more dangerous person now than he was then.
Sure, but he is only just now trying to distance himself. Seems silly when he coud've decided this years ago, back when we first realized the shit Facebook got up to in like 2018. Seems a bit late now doesn't it??
yeah i'm not sure what the fuck people are on about here, if i choose to play stalin in a movie i don't exactly get to cry about being associated with stalin
Right? He chose to play a living guy now he can face the consequences of his actions. Not sure why people are thinking I am saying they share the same beliefs or something lmao
