Review of Steve Jobs (2015) by Axgrinder — 21 Nov 2015

I’m not an Apple guy and I knew little about Steve Jobs prior to seeing this movie. I thought the movie was mildly “interesting.” It depicts Jobs as both a “marketing genius” who saved the company from bankruptcy and a thoughtless ass-pipe, who was unkind and uncaring toward pretty much everyone human being in his life.

I’ve been told that the movie skips over large segments of Job’s life, and thus some feel the movie is unbalanced or an unfair in its portrayal of him, while others have told me that the guy was, in many ways, even more bizzare than what the movie shows.

All in all, I think it’s fair to say that the movie attempts to give you a sense of who he was without laboring over every detail. I leave it to others to debate the accuracy of the material presented, but if you’re an Apple aficionado, you may not care for this movie because it colors pretty much all of the company founders as timid or inept buffoons who couldn’t run business selling beer to beach goers in July, much less a computer company.
