Review of Steve Jobs (2015) by Tony1984 — 17 Jan 2018
A three act play written by Aaron Sorkin. Sorkin can only write in one way. That is very long shots especially whilst moving with emotion as exposition and streams and streams of dialogue. Most of it superfluous and delivered in inauthentic manner.
No ums or ahhs of normal conversation. In other words fake. Secondly Fassbender isn't a great fit for Jobs physically or in speech mannerism. Still despite all that I enjoyed it. The daughter and her relationship with Jobs is well played and the eccentric awfulness of Jobs, while overdone , is in plain sight and fairly treated.
His rapacious idiotic ex isn't spared any blushes either. I don't think Jobs hold on the popular imagination has much more milage and if people want a more in depth view into his life than books are the best source but as cinematic sign off.
Boyle’s Steve Jobs will do.
