I think The Social Network reopens up an interesting debate. They were pretty bold about telling everyone that this is a fictional dramatization of the events. In short, the public disclaimer was that they weren't even trying to make it truthful but to actually tell a better story through fiction.

How ethical is that, if it's supposed to be real events. And how much of a disclaimer do you need? I remember it being all over the media prior to the release but there was nothing in the movie about it. I would think that putting that at the start of the movie in bold letters would have been more genuine. "The following is loosely based on real events. However, many have been fictionalized to dramatize the story" would have been nice.
