Of all the conversations encircling The Social Network on its way to awards-season glory, few have had the surprising resonance accompanying Armie Hammer’s performance at Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss — identical twins who go to war against their Harvard peer Mark Zuckerberg for the rights to Facebook.
