🇺🇸 English

When Aaron Sorkin made "The Social Network" in 2010, he said his knowledge of Facebook was "like having heard of a carburetor."

艾倫·索金在2010年製作《社群網戰》自認對臉書的了解「就像聽說過化油器一樣」。

Sixteen years later, he released a new film, "The Social Reckoning," about Facebook's role in the rise of extremism and division.

十六年後推出新片《社交清算》探討臉書極端主義分裂崛起中扮演的角色。

Sony Pictures will release the film on October 9.

索尼影業將於10月9日發行此片

On the day the trailer came out, Meta agreed to pay a fine of up to $18 billion. This settled claims that the platform harmed children.

預告片發布當天Meta同意支付高達180億美元的罰款以了結平台危害兒童的指控

Sorkin admitted he hesitated at first. The Social Network is praised as one of the best American films of this century, so it cast a long shadow.

索金坦言起初猶豫不決因為《社群網戰》被譽為本世紀最佳美國電影之一陰影很大

But he said that after ten minutes, viewers will be drawn into the story.

但他說,電影開始十分鐘後觀眾就會投入故事

He stressed that The Social Reckoning is not a sequel. It captures Zuckerberg and the company at a very different stage.

他強調《社交清算》不是續集而是捕捉祖克柏公司處於截然不同階段的狀態。

Sorkin started writing around 2019. At that time, he published an open letter to Zuckerberg in The New York Times. He accused Facebook of being responsible for "the crazy lies injected into the water supply."

索金約在2019年動筆當時曾在《紐約時報》發表致祖克柏的公開信指控臉書「注入水供應中的瘋狂謊言」負責。

In the film, Mikey Madison plays whistleblower Frances Haugen, Jeremy Allen White plays journalist Jeff Horwitz, and Jeremy Strong plays Zuckerberg.

片中麥基·麥迪遜飾演吹哨者法蘭西絲·豪根傑瑞米·艾倫·懷特飾演記者傑夫·霍維茨傑瑞米·史壯飾演祖克柏

Sorkin first wanted Jesse Eisenberg to play Zuckerberg again, but he did not want to be linked to the role anymore.

索金最初傑西·艾森柏格再次飾演祖克柏對方不願與該角色掛鉤

Strong took the role on his own, and during filming he sent emails every night to defend Zuckerberg.

史壯主動接手在拍攝期間每晚寄電子郵件為祖克柏辯護。

Only after the last scene did he get his own voice back, explaining that he would have defended Jeff the same way.

直到最後一場戲結束,他才恢復自己的聲音解釋說若飾演傑夫也會同樣辯護

Zuckerberg and Meta have not publicly responded to the film so far.

祖克柏Meta迄今公開回應此片

Sorkin said he has never met Zuckerberg and can only work backward from the results of his thinking.

索金從未見過祖克柏只能反向工程其思維結果

He said he understood Zuckerberg's ability to build new social structures. He also noted that Facebook users have grown from 500 million to about 3 billion, and 38% of Americans get news from the platform.

祖克柏建構新社會結構的能力表示同理心,指出臉書用戶已從當年的5億增至30億38%的美國人從該平台獲取新聞
