The simple gesture fits the movie’s portrayal of Zuckerberg as someone who is most comfortable behind a computer. Jesse Eisenberg’s focused expression and deliberate preparation make the moment feel like something important is about to happen, even before he begins typing.

The Social Network was directed by David Fincher from a screenplay by Aaron Sorkin, with Eisenberg earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor for his portrayal of Zuckerberg.
