I rewatched The Social Network for its 13th anniversary. One of my favorite films of all time, and one that convinced me of Armie's extraordinary acting skills. The film is a masterpiece on every level, one of the greatest biopics of the 21st century. In my opinion also David Fincher's magnum opus, together with Se7en, if one could have more than 1. With an inimitable performance of the KILLER soundtrack.

And Armie Hammer was in it!!!

A few review quotes about Armie's performance:

* Hammer and Garfield make the glue that hold it together.

* Although the stand out award I'd like to give to Mr. Armie Hammer. His role is just Tailor fit, literally as his jacket. From his statuesque as a rower all through out as a dapper at Harvard, he is just believable in that field. He is after after all the Winklevoss BrotherS.

* Armie hammer is a best combination of grace and conceit how he played wealthy twins.

* David Fincher's cool, stylish direction and great performances by Jesse Eisenberg, Andrew Garfield and Armie Hammer make The Social Network a worthwhile watch.

* Now that some of the dust has settled, there’s one name that keeps coming up as a comic scene-stealer and awards dark horse: Armie Hammer, who plays entitled twins Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss. In the movie, a Winklevoss twin declares, “I’m six-foot-five, 220 pounds, and there’s two of me,” but since there’s only one of Hammer, that meant the actor was often acting opposite a body double whose face he’d be digitally grafted onto in postproduction (and when you consider the notorious amount of takes that an exacting director like David Fincher requires, Hammer’s nimble pair of performances is all the more impressive). 

* My favorite description of the twins in the film comes from Alison Willmore's review, in which she writes, "Hammer is infinitely amusing in his dual role, exuding privilege and looking like something grown in a vat of J. Crew catalogs and Aryan race propaganda."

* No one could have played Sean Parker like Justin Timberlake, and Armie Hammer playing the Winklevoss twins is fantastic too.

* The quasi-pair of performances generated Hammer Oscar buzz at the time, and he has been a marquee mainstay ever since, appearing in films like J. Edgar (2011), The Lone Ranger (2013), The Birth of a Nation (2016), Call Me By Your Name (2017), Cars 3 (2017), Sorry to Bother You (2018), and On the Basis of Sex (2018).

* What makes Armie Hammer’s  acting performance outstanding is his use of specific body language with each of the two characters.

The different  way he moves, his vocal cadences , and facial expressions makes it so easy to believe that these were two different people on the screen. 

When Armie played Cameron Winklevoss, he played him more uptight and more formal. The formality also came out  in his dialogue. His diction was more precise.

When he played Tyler  Winklevoss,  he leaned back and was more laid back. His speech pattern was more fluid and he even used curse words as Tyler’s character.

I think that Armie’s performance was so great that I would easily see him being a contender for best supporting actor at the next Academy Awards ceremony.

This scene is epic! Great visual metaphor emphasised by this music piece.

"In the 20th century, the label “rock star” was the ultimate statement of individuality, a license for generations of swaggering, staggering musical geniuses to trash greenrooms and hurl televisions off balconies. In this century, the term has an extra meaning. This new usage came from the workplace, and originally implied virtuosity, like “ninja” or “guru.” By the 2020s, however, the term seems to have further devolved into something closer to “productive.” In many offices around America, telling someone they’re a “rock star” is now the same thing as telling them they did a really good job, a verbal downgrade so widespread it’s rendered the term meaningless. A quick search on my local Craigslist jobs board found “rock star” applied to a dental sterilization technician, a Jimmy Johns delivery driver, and a commissary kitchen prep cook in Canoga Park. One board management software company markets itself with a web banner reading “Become a Compliance Rock Star.”

"Most rich rockers aren’t this publicly egregious. Does it matter? For the vast majority of us, the doings of the ultrawealthy are like the internal workings of a casino (or crypto markets), seemingly designed to keep average folks ignorant of how they’re being fleeced. With every ultrarich performer, there will always be a public suspicion that sooner or later, their real id will pop out. It took 15 years and Jared Kushner’s memoir to learn that Bono privately serenaded Rupert Murdoch, on the French Riviera, to celebrate the purchase of The Wall Street Journal."

[...]

"With the collapse of a recordings sale structure, music tours may eventually be the realm of the independently wealthy. Is this really a surprise? In a world where Christian punk and Nazi rap are real things, billionaire rock bands feel inevitable. It’s their audience that’s the question mark. As capital consolidates into fewer and fewer hands, as essential services are defunded to ensure privatization and inflation outstrips wages already stripped bare by wage theft, as infrastructure fails due to ever-larger climatic disasters and GoFundMe becomes less and less viable as a national health care service, and as the wealthy escape to locations so fabulous and remote that we can’t even peek at them on Zillow, the rest of us stuck here in a rapidly warming meatspace may not be so friendly to the spectacle of billionaires rocking out."

[...]

"There's another way to look at this. We've been living in a Post-Poser Era for some time now. Every song or band, no matter how obscure, can be found instantly and anywhere. “Authenticity” is losing cohesion as a concept; it’s a speed bump to brand building, an abstraction in the distance. But posers were once essential roles in American music. They let the rest of us feel secure in our coolness. Could billionaire dad-band rockers be the new posers? I find the thought oddly comforting. Someone needs to take up the mantle again, and all the better if it’s people we never, ever have to feel sorry for."

there are people who watched tsn and felt BAD? for MARK ZUCKERBERG? we are not the same

The Social Network

"Before this, I was fighting an uphill battle to get in movies, and I do one movie and David Fincher gives me a great break and now everyone wants to meet with me like I’m the hottest thing in the world. It’s crazy."

When Armie only heard that he is being proposed a role in David Fincher's film, he said "yes" without even knowing what it was. The Social Network has become a big turning point in his career, making Armie globally famous. Though working with perfectionist Fincher wasn't easy and sweet (they made over 40 takes of some scenes and finished shooting in the morning), Armie passed this test brilliantly with critics later saying "Hammer jumped over his head". Initially he and Josh Pence were casted to play each twin and spent 10 months in a special camp being trained how to behave like identical twins. But then Fincher said he wants Armie's face on both brothers and Josh will be a body double. Despite being frustrated, Josh appreciated Armie both as a person and as an actor. They still stay in touch. There were funny moments during the promo when people approached Armie asking: "Where is the second Hammer? You are twins playing twins, right?". Also there was a wink of the Universe when Jesse playing Marc Zuckerberg was wearing "Arm and Hammer" t-shirt. First, people thought it was a crew's joke. But then it turned out that Marc Zuckerberg really had such t-shirt. Armie and Josh met real Winklevoss twins only when the shooting was over.

the way they set up the polarization between mark and the types of people who row crew in the very opening scene only to then make the fact that the winklevoss twins row crew one of the first things brought up when mark meets them functions to imply that he could never have been partners with them for harvardconnection or any other business venture because they exist in opposition within the social structure of their society and therefore are unable to coexist and understand each other on the level required for such a partnership

recreationally skimming some of the horror architecture pdf and it's citing the winklevoss twins in the social network as an example of the identical twins as horror trope. help
