David Fincher’s take on the creation of Facebook has become one of the defining films of our era, as well as being one of the best dramas to come along in ages. While Garfield was considered a supporting actor for the purposes of award ceremonies (where the strategists clearly figured that Jesse Eisenberg was in with a better chance of landing a Best Actor win), he’s really the co-lead, the equal and opposite to Eisenberg’s awkward Mark Zuckerberg. Garfield’s Eduardo Saverin is more mercurial and less intense than his partner, but he plays a pivotal role in this drama, and it’s his relationship with Zuckerberg that provides the film with its emotional centre, humanising the difficult figure that Eisenberg portrays. No wonder that studio Sony spotted something here they thought might come in handy...
