Yes, that's weird. You are weird, I am weird and everyone is weird. It's hard to explain but I love it, probably because of the music, the fast version of King Mountain.
- The brilliantly-altered score by Trent Reznor of "In The Hall of the Mountain King." - The beautifully-shot scene. - The breath-taking editing. etc etc etc None of these are discussed in the comment section. Armie Hammer's arms seem to be the priority. God help us all.
my new hero. to be faire tho. there is a lot of vid on youtube describing that awesome scene and the editing behind it. But you are right as this is what i was looking for in the section as well. we are truly doomed
@emeryguy9000 The real race this was scene was based on occurred only in the early 2000's. The Empacher shells match the period, as do the riggers on the Empachers. The long umpire boats used are all old and vintage in Henley. To be fair to the film makers they pretty much got everything right in regards to continuity.
david fincher pays a lot of attention to detail. all his films are accurate to the time period they are set in. continuity is just one of the many great things about his filmmaking.
I like that the miniature effect in the cinematography, coupled with the antiquated surroundings, makes it seem like this prestigious race the Winklevii are in is tiny and insignificant compared to the history being made at Facebook.
A fun fact is that Harvard is sponsored by Polaroid, which later went bankrupt but in the Dutch town Enschede the only remaining Polaroid film factory was spun off and now they sell the original Polaroid instant cameras and the film cartridges, which are popular with retro loving young people.
Rowing bods... help me out please....if henley is about halfway along the path of the river thames, which it is....and the thames runs for 212 winding miles, and in a straight line for just under 150 miles , then the curvature of the earth dictates that henley should be 14,495 feet above both the source of the river, Cricklade and the estuary in London...( cricklade is 280 feet above sea level..the estuary clearly is sea level...)....so where is the part of the river that runs uphill and why is henley not the highest point in England by 11,000 feet? though that as y'all row along the thames you would have noticed rowing up a hill that big. Also does anyone know why the thames barrier doesnt flood from the inside with all that water hurtling down on it from over 14k feet? are we missin g some curvature here?????
how on earth did you reach the conclusion that Henley should be 14495ft above sea level? it is actually 125ft above sea level. Additionally, there are locks along the thames.
Well, it shows Zuckerberg is getting to the Winkelvoss twins; this scene takes place right after they learned he was going to be credited for creating the Facebook. They were thinking about the Facebook rather than the regatta, which is why they lost, and since rowing is the thing they care most about, they realize they must now crush Mark. This scene is stunning in its subtlety and I believe it's the best of the film.
Everyone in the dutch team looks like a slightly different version of prince harry
With a Steve-O infiltrate
Funny and true
Well the house of Windsor is Germanic.

As a rower, i really appreciate the cinematography in this like this would be incredibly hard to shoot
Is it weird that this is my favorite scene in The Social Network?
why? this scene is a masterpiece together with the hacking scene at the beginning
who gives a fuck. It's weird that you need to ask that, not that it's actually your favorite scene in the movie
Yes, that's weird. You are weird, I am weird and everyone is weird. It's hard to explain but I love it, probably because of the music, the fast version of King Mountain.
no this is the best scene in the entire film hands down
With the music, the cinematography, and the cuts, this scene is cinematic perfection.
this actually does a great job of replicating the feel of an actual race, kinda get chills watching it
So many things that could be said about the movie, so many great scenes, and all I can think about is how hot Armie Hammer was here, such a shame
I dont blame you one bit. You not alone!
@@sourabhsg13 haha hi sis
Just... don't try to take a bite, if you know what I'm getting at.
The music is great, but it is the competition and struggle to win that make this clip energizing and captivating.
It also symbolizes that the Winklevoss brothers are truly losing the race against zuckerberg
Wearing sunglasses and a bandana while being a bada$$ on the crew team. Love it.
The guy with sunglasses and a bandana was the more stylish and cooles rower in this scene hahahaha
one of my favorite scenes
Armie is so beautiful. It's unreal.
- The brilliantly-altered score by Trent Reznor of "In The Hall of the Mountain King."
- The beautifully-shot scene.
- The breath-taking editing.

Equally disturbing: people forgetting that Josh Pence played one of the twins during filming.
ugh I love this scene and this movie!!
The cinematography in this scene is immaculate
Armie (or the Armies) are hot af here.
being on my highschool rowing team we Always watch this

Yeah I was amazed they purposely used aluminum riggers, especially because the carbon ones have a much more iconic look
God bless Aaron Sorkin for giving Fincher 90 seconds to shoot the greatest rowing scene in the history of film.
Great music! Grieg's On The Hall of the Mountain's King.
One of the best uses of tilt shift I can think of!
the gorgeous Armie Hammer
Just wanna appreciate Armies teeth and expression that was all in character!
We are gentleman of harvard
This scene feeds my willingness to study in UK.
Henley Business School is right there off the river
This soundtrack!
The social network movie is best example of scriptwriting
Favorite scene both for me and my sis.
Great scene. The twins are always coming in second.
I like that the miniature effect in the cinematography, coupled with the antiquated surroundings, makes it seem like this prestigious race the Winklevii are in is tiny and insignificant compared to the history being made at Facebook.
I once did a dragon row competition. God damn, rowing is f*ckin tiring!

Not even the heaviest object in the universe, in the *highest* amount of gravity possible, can drop harder and faster than the beat does, at 0:54
And its been droppin like that for almost 200 years. Banger.
Cool scene to play when on the rowing machine. Just puttin it out there.
Since then I had a crush on Armie already after this! And good lord he's also now back to single after divorcing chambers!
It makes feel thrilled about could get involved in a Rowing Club in an abroad university, someday.
Soundtrack like "when you can't find bathroom in the mall"
I've been watching RUclips videos for ten years and I've never seen a race that close. Brutally close!
You should go and watch the men's single sculls final from the Rio Olympics
What's the distance between the start and the finish line?
+FLICKGEEK 2000 meters
+brandon streets 2000 metres is the standard Olympic and World rowing distance, but Henley RR is 2112 metres
Albert RR My apologies, thanks for the correction.
How many cuts Fincher did for "just" one scene
This was not actually shot on location. It was pure VFX.
How did this not win best score, best picture?
The Social Network did win the Best Original Score Oscar.
I can never watch The Social Network with a deaf person because I'd look crazy laughing at this scene.
00:48 Is that supposed to be Prince Harry?
Of course I would've sued Mark Zuckerberg...
Is that a model shot at the start?
A year late, but it's not a model, it uses a camera technique called "tilt-shift" to make everything look as thought it's in a 'model' world
@@psvm_ Two years late, but thanks!
That race was so close
0:45 the actor looks a lot like Prince Harry

Wasnt he in Harry Potter, one of the Quidditch players 01:03
Prince Harry at 0.48 ?
This is actual footage of the race the twins lost at the HRR ruclips.net/video/SxHOZNvdZjs/видео.html
why was this scene relevant to the plot of the movie? its been a while sicne I've seen it and I need a reminder.
Well, it shows Zuckerberg is getting to the Winkelvoss twins; this scene takes place right after they learned he was going to be credited for creating the Facebook. They were thinking about the Facebook rather than the regatta, which is why they lost, and since rowing is the thing they care most about, they realize they must now crush Mark. This scene is stunning in its subtlety and I believe it's the best of the film.
It also shows the Twins who are use to winning at everything losing and coming into 2nd place just like they're second fiddle to Zuckerberg.
Rich kids, no backbone!
4 years later but I believe it also set the stage for them to learn that Facebook had reached schools in Europe after the race.
Why didn’t they get people who actually knew how to row for this scene, shitty blade work
The blade work is actually quite impressive, it just looks wrong because of the slow motion.
