“Social Network” Shown at Harvard

The Social Network was screened at the Harvard Film Archive

In the film, a bus-load of well-dressed women arrive at the movie’s version of the Phoenix, where two women proceed to make out, while others wear only lingerie.

In the same sequence, the movie cuts to an intoxicated Zuckerberg, in his Kirkland dorm room, programming frantically.

Adrian A. Diamond ’11, a member of a final club, said the movie was “definitely dramatized.”

Both Eisenberg and Hammer told the audience that they worked to portray their characters accurately.

“We uncovered that when you walk on this campus you carry a lot of pride,” Hammer said, who played the two twins who sued Zuckerberg.

“[The Winklevoss twins] were human guys who felt like they were wronged,” he added.

Eisenberg said he watched “every video and read every interview and looked at every picture” of Zuckerberg, before filming began.

“I had to figure out why he inverts and why he detaches,” he said. “There’s always a reason even if it may appear there’s an emptiness.”
