Steve Jobs

A concert of fine acting from Fassbender from start to finish + the wonderful Kate Winslet. Boyle’s dynamic direction makes conversations (a fantastic exchange of opinions in the middle of the movie) and other situations unbelievably powerful. Sorkin’s polished dialogs are a sure bet. Even quite obvious things and add-ons + inspiration do not disturb viewing. Probably the only movie this year that met my expectations. P.S.: I found my Mac I had at Junior High rather restrictive, I don’t own an iPhone and I only knew Jobs from the Simpsons before he died. (11/12/2015)

Steve Jobs is a luxuriously crafted spectacle for attentive and knowledgeable viewers. A sophisticated choice of moments from the attractive backstage of Jobs’ work, comprehensively covering his personality in both his working and family life. The film is packed with excellent dialogue, so sophisticatedly cut in places that you cannot even take in all the information in one go. And each piece of this information is damn important for the resulting experience. The film’s complexity therefore increases with every repeated viewing, which happens once in a decade in contemporary cinema. Fassbender is inconspicuously brilliant. (12/03/2015)

They simply had to shoot this differently and focus on a family or on dialogues between some interesting characters; thus, in a way that was lacking in Silicon Valley or the movie Jobs. On the other hand, I don’t think that Steve Jobs deserves this many movies. Michael Fassbender and Danny Boyle might have showcased some proper filmmaking art, but completely in vain, in my opinion.

Excellent conversation film with a frenetic pace. I had to really exert a lot of energy and attention to fully catch everything. Otherwise, I generally love these biographical works from the pen of Aaron Sorkin. Who knows, maybe after Zuckerberg and Jobs, Gates will be next. It's also worth noting the uncovering of Steve Jobs' legacy, which shows that far more than an innovator, he was a design and marketing genius. It's also worth mentioning Jobs’ destructive egomania, where he often had no problem overlooking the key colleagues without whom the whole Apple rocket ship would never have gone as far. On the other hand, this is probably not terribly surprising, because every extremely intelligent person is strange in his or her own way. But it's undeniable that Steve Jobs’ legacy is substantial, and his gradual journey to becoming one of the most successful IT businessmen of the late 20th and early 21st centuries is quite interesting, to say the least.

I am not an Apple fanatic and their products don't really interest me much. I don't know what features, applications, and gadgets they have, but I know a lot about Steve. And who doesn't? There are too many movies about him. But if you want to watch one, watch this one. Except for the ending, which didn't sit well with me, it's probably the best film about Jobs that I've seen. Danny Boyle is simply amazing. (01/29/2016)
