QWhy is Armie Hammer listed some places as playing both twins and sometimes as playing one?
AWhen portraying identical twins on film using only one actor, different techniques are used such as creative camera angles and blocking and using special effects to artificially duplicate the actor. Both are used here. Armie Hammer is the primary actor portraying both Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss which is why he is generally credited as such. However, another actor, Josh Pence, who has a similar build to Armie, was used as a body double in scenes where both twins appeared. When the faces of both of the twins needed to be shown in the same shot, such as during the rowing scenes, or when they first approach Mark Zuckerberg, the filmmakers digitally replaced Josh Pence's face with Armie Hammer's.
QWhy did Eduardo want to expand Facebook to Stanford?
AWhen Mark is talking about their latest expansion plans for Facebook, Eduardo specifically mentions Stanford as critical to their expansion. Stanford is located in the California town of the same name, right next to the cities of Palo Alto (where Facebook would eventually move) and San Jose. This area is known as "Silicon Valley" because of the large number of computer and technology companies located there. By expanding to Stanford University, Eduardo was looking to attract the attention of a Silicon Valley venture capitalist who would invest in their company.
QDid Mark really do all those things Eduardo implied he did in the confrontation?
AThis is never explicitly stated. But in a way, the point of the film is not to explain these things directly. This is shown in the final scene where Marilyn, the junior lawyer on Mark's team explains to him how easy it would be for her to win the cases against him, she mentions how she doesn't have to prove anything, just ask the right questions that people will form the answers to in their own minds regardless of what he says. This is very much the trick the film uses too when it's making more serious implications about the actions of the characters. Did Mark steal Facebook? Did Mark try to cheat Eduardo out of Facebook? Did Mark leak the story about the chicken, did he call the cops on Sean's party? Is he an asshole? The film never outright says any of it, just gets you wondering...
