Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution, to paint a portrait of the man at its epicenter. The story unfolds backstage at three iconic product launches, ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac.

Absolutely this is a great movie, how could it now be?  Steve Jobs was one of the greatest minds that influenced technology and changed the game forever.  We all know of his reputation and in the business world it is one that propelled him to the top.  His visions were amazing but at the same time he was a relentless person who wasn’t to be messed with, especially when it comes to his company.  If you have seen the Jobs movie with Ashton Kutcher (which wasn’t too bad) you are in for a treat with this picture.  In case you don’t know this movie is directed by Danny Boyle and written by Aaron Sorkin, so yes, as I’m sure you guessed by the mention of Sorkin, it’s very dialogue heavy.  In the case of a movie like this there is no other way to make it.  Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslet are wonderful, Seth Rogen surprises with a commanding performance as Steve Wozniak.  Steve Jobs was a visionary who was willing to sacrifice everything including family to accomplish his goals.  The early interaction is tough between him and his employees, as well as with his daughter.  This sets the tone of who he is early and gives us a glimpse of his drive and intelligence.  As the story continues the walls start to come down involving family showing that he is caring and wants to be a good father.   The story of Steve Jobs is amazing and if you have read his book you know a lot about him already which is great considering where this movie begins.  If you haven’t read the book, don’t worry, you won’t be lost or confused.  If you’re a Microsoft fan, you may not watch this movie, but all Apple lovers in the world have probably already seen this and if you haven’t, hurry up and do so.  For pete sake, this is the man who put music in our pockets, revolutionized phones, and told us that we were missing something between our phones and computers so he gave us the iPad.  Amazing!!
