Review of Steve Jobs (2015) by Knowmoviesnose — 08 Apr 2016

This is a theory & why I'm giving the score 9. The first time I watched it, I was kind of disappointed. I enjoyed Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet, Seth Rogan & Michael Stuhlbarg's performances immensely; it was the choppiness that bothered me - I wanted more, and I wanted to understand more, and I did a lot of research, and then I watched the movie again.

The research helped, BUT... but, but, but I caught something that I don't want to read in a review before I just set it out there. I could be so wrong, but I want to be wrong on my own merit. The second time around I caught this linear story about computers kind of playing with the mind all along, and that, in fact, IF intentional, is genius.

I can't write all of the things, but my examples are the constant interruptions - to me - were like opening several windows. We, the audience, were able to keep up as one window was closed, put on hold, and we engaged in a conversation, then closed that window, and went to another.

Also, the two Andy characters, clearly depict a technical problem throughout, where Steve finally just says, "no, I know who they are, I need everyone around me to change the way they say their names.

" I find that a reference to the user in a program needing to kind of go find and replace or something much deeper that I might not understand about computing; a last example I will give is when Andy Hertzfeld leaves his office after discussing money for college, and Steve is discussing the speed of processors, and we see these flickers of his daughter; yes, they are obviously memories, but also the speed or time lapsation (I created that word just now), begins to change as he begins to talk about bigger processors - or processors that work faster and hold more memory (and his memory is briefly holding longer in his mind as well, which, to me, helps us process it better).

If I am right about the references, it makes me want to watch it more and try to catch all of them. However, if I am wrong, then my scoring of this movie would dramatically decrease. I guess sooner or later I will find out if there is anything to my theory at all, or if I'm creating my own imaginary "thing" to keep myself interested in an otherwise well-acted but kind of "hey, Steve Jobs was a narcissistic guy who bides his time to get back on top of apple, and he hurt a lot of people AND other jerks waited until he died to write this, and that kind of leaves a bad taste in my mouth about them more than him.

" Go figure.
