Steve Jobs (Blu-ray + DVD) (Blu-ray)

I thought this movie would be a hatchet job on Steve Jobs, who I idolize. I didn't expect to like it. It is flat-out brilliant., Michael Fassbender stunningly projects Jobs' intensity (and less savory characteristics) in a fierce, running circus of confrontation and nearly inhumane turmoil Loved Kate Winslet as his long-suffering right hand. Seth Rogen as Woz. Wow! So, too, the actresses who play Jobs' out-of-wedlock child and her mother. I'm not a binge watcher or even a movie watcher and I've watched it four times in three weeks. crying every time.Jobs was a force of nature, a never-to-be-seen again phenomenon. Thank you, Michael Fassbender, Danny Boyle and Aaron Sorkin, for memorializing his white-hot intensity to succeed and overcome.

It's so frustrating to see another movie about Steve Jobs which takes accuracy as second to plot or forming a cohesive narrative. Details are important. What people say is important. Watching it I knew instinctually some of what they were getting wrong. While watching it I had to constantly fact-check for those things I wasn't certain of. I wish Hollywood would stop giving short-shift to real life people and events that took place very recently. If you regularly re-write history people will not know what really happened. Many people don't fact check nor realize when they are being lied to or deceived.

I strongly recommend that you see this a movie about a man not a computer company. The screenwriter Aaron Sorkin spoke to Jobs principal work associates and to his daughter, Lisa, to gain a sense of who this man was. The main scenes center around the last minute preparations for three mega presentation launches of computers designed and built under Steve Jobs direction. Clearly he had the desire to create an "insanely great" product (as he called it). We see how this driven personality is destructive to those closest to him, how he denies making wrong decisions. This is the underlying story behind his later success with the iMac, iPod, and iPhone.The acting is excellent. The scenes give you a true feeling of energy and emotions of the time The impact of the 1984 Super Bowl commercial was shown, simply, and artfully. The characters are alive and believable under the direction of Danny Boyle. the dark personality of Steve Jobs casts a long shadow over these momentous times for the computer industry.A subplot, the contest between Jobs and Steve Wozniak over the value of an open system computer, versus Jobs preference for a closed system, is shown subtly in Wozniak's favor. However, we know when we buy an Apple product today, accessories must almost always be bought from Apple--a closed system.

What's more important in life, making your vision come true or loving the people around you? That seems to be the central theme of this work, which constantly places Steve Jobs in the back room of his latest press event. While there, they paint an unvarnished picture of a man who many probably think was one of the great inventors of our time as, but who was more like a P. T. Barnum type of figure. This might be a shock for people who have deified this man and believe things like he invented the mouse and the personal computer.While I find it interesting that they have chosen to demythologize this famous figure, the movie itself has a few drawbacks. The movie itself is kind of more like a play than a movie since the settings rarely change. At times it's engrossing, but other times - since the movie is mostly dialogue driven - the dialogue can seem a little long (like the time he and his secretary are arguing about the house).Another drawback is the conciliatory attempts of trying to make the movie seem a little more balanced regarding his personality. Throughout the movie, they paint him as tyrannical and almost devoid of feeling, but at the end try to slip in a little humanity in his character. It just felt out of place given the tone they struck throughout the movie.I don't think Seth Rogan was a good choice for Steve Wozniak. I just have such an association with him as the character he usually plays, that I couldn't see him in this role. The director went with an unconventional choice for his main character, why didn't he do the same for the Steve Wozniak role?It wasn't about computers; it was about the man. Although I applaud this choice in a way, because it could have quickly devolved into another feel good success story, I think showing the evolution of computers could have added a little bit of spice to the story and made it less of a one-note stage play.All-in-all, I liked the movie. It was thought provoking and an interesting look at this famous man's life. Be warned, if you're the type of person who thinks this is a movie that heaps praise of the title character, you're in for a big surprise.

Steve Jobs is a fascinating character who changed the world while pissing off a lot of people. Aaron Sorkin is one of the greatest director/screenwriters in the history of Hollywood. The combination is a masterpiece. My only criticism is why the main character looks nothing like Steve Jobs who had a recognizable and iconic look. It detracts from the movie, but only slightly.

MICHAEL FASSBENDER PLAYS STEVE JOBS. A HEART FELT PERFORMANCE ABOUT A VERY COMPLICATED MAN WHO HAPPENED TO BE THE GENIUS BEHIND THE CREATION OF APPLE COMPUTERS.THE MOVIE TELLS THE STORY OF THE COMPLICATED RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS EX GIRL FRIEND AND HIS DAUGHTER LISA WHOM JOBS WOULDN'T EVEN ADMIT TO BE THE FATHER OF UNTIL YEARS LATER. THE MOVIE TELLS OF THE HARD SHIPS THE BATTLES AND STRUGGES STEVE HAD TO FACE BOTH INNER DEMONS AND OUTER WITH HIMSELF AND AS WELL AS OTHERS. A BRILLIANT MOVIE IN EVERY WAY. COMPLETELY FANTASTIC.

Die Verfilmung Steve Jobs von Danny Boyle orientiert sich an der erfolgreichen offiziellen gleichnamigen Biografie von Walter Isaacson. In den Film erzählt Boyle die Geschichte von Steve Jobs anhand von drei Produktpräsentationen 1984, 1988 und 1998.Die Idee den Film nur an drei Handlungsorten zu drei verschiedenen Zeitpunkten spielen zu lassen empfand zu Beginn erstmal irgendwie komisch doch nachdem ich den Film gesehen habe als Genial. Die drei gewählten Präsentationen sind natürlich drei Ereignisse die Steve Jobs wie aber auch die Welt einschneidend verändert haben.1984 wird der Macintosh vorgestellt, Next 1988 und der iMac 1998. Der Film spielt dabei immer kurz vor den Präsentationen und springt weiter, oder endet sobald diese beginnen. Dabei kann man Konflikte, Diskussionen und Probleme miterleben die auch die Menschen hinter den großen Namen erkennen lassen. Dabei wird nichts beschönigt. Besonders auch nicht bei Steve Jobs selbst. Das es nicht immer einfach war mit oder unter ihm zu arbeiten war bekannt und wurde mehr als einmal auch thematisiert und hier wird genau das auch aufgezeigt. Es wird gezeigt wie Jobs war mit allen stärken aber eben auch schwächen. Und von denen gab es natürlich auch welche. Es wird aber eben auch gezeigt wieso Jobs es gelungen ist Apple ab 1998 wieder in die Erfolgsspur zu bringen und die Welt mit neuen Ideen und Produkten zu beeindrucken die bis heute unerreicht sind.Bei den Darstellern ist natürlich die Leistung von Michael Fassbender besonders hervorzuheben. Man bedenke das er den Film größtenteils alleine tragen musste und das in einem Zeitraum von 14 Jahren. Aber auch die Leistung von Kate Winslet sollte man erwähnen. Sie spielte Joanna Hoffman, eine der engsten Mitarbeiterinnen von Steve Jobs die ihn auch zu Next begleitete und zusammen mit ihm zu Apple zurückkehrte. Sie ist neben Michael Fassbender die meiste Zeit im Bild. Zwei weitere Darsteller die oft zu sehen sind und einem auch nach dem Ende des Films im Gedächtnis bleiben sind Seth Rogen als Steve Wozniak und Jeff Daniels als John Sculley.Gerade in Bezug auf Joanna Hoffmann zeigt es das es gelungen ist genau neue eher unbekannte Aspekte aufzuzeigen. Ich bin irgendwie ein Apple Fan. Benutze seit langer Zeit viele Produkte der Firma und das aus Überzeugung. Ich mag die Marke einfach und das mit allem was dazugehört. Und habe mich so natürlich immer mal wieder auch mit dieser Auseinandergesetzt. Doch Joanna Hoffmann war mir bis zu dem Film unbekannt. Und dabei ist sie eine unglaublich wichtige Mitarbeiterin von Apple und gerade auch Steve Jobs. Jemand der seinen eigenen Standpunkt gegenüber Jobs auch zu verteidigen wusste und sich bei ihm so auch mal durchsetzen konnte und das war alles andere als leicht oder selbstverständlich. Und auch die Geschichte rund um seine erste Tochter oder seinem wahren Vater kannte ich so nicht.Steve Jobs hat ab 1998 mit seiner Rückkehr zu Apple diese nicht nur zur wertvollsten und Innovativsten Firma der Welt gemacht sondern diese auch mit Produkten wie dem iPod, dem iPhone und dem iPad eine ganze Branche umgekrempelt und irgendwie die Zukunft neu erfunden. Die Verwendung von Apps die unser Leben heute im Jahr 2020 so unglaublich verändert haben gehen zurück auf diesen einen Mann der so schwierig aber eben auch so Genial war und am ende aber eben auch einfach ein Mensch war.Der Film wird dem Genie wie aber gerade auch dem Menschen Steve Jobs gerecht und gibt einen tollen Einblick hinter die Kulissen von Ereignissen die die Welt und unser aller Leben verändert haben.

Una vita costellata da fantasmi importanti che affollavano la vita di Jobs, fantasmi con cui doveva far conti tutti i giorni e rimorsi per scelte prese magari con leggerezza, date dall’ebbrezza del successo e dalla gioventù.Verso la fine del film vedremo un Jobs più maturo, calmo e più incline ad aprire le porte anziché bruciare e radere al suolo muri e barriere.Fotografia notevole, musiche d’atmosfera ben calibrate, il ritratto di un uomo complesso basato sulla biografia ufficiale di Isaacson: merita sicuramente una visione.Il miglior biopic su Steve Jobs realizzato al momento in cui scriviamo. L’unico che è piaciuto a Wozniak.Voto: 9/10

Film avvincente ed emozionante, non ti lascia mai il tempo di rilassarti e ti tiene incollato allo schermo. Mi è piaciuto tantissimo sia come fotografia che come regia; ho apprezzato molto il modo in cui hanno raccontato la storia, sempre da "dietro le quinte". Consigliatissimo!!!!

Il film è fenomenale sotto tutti gli aspetti: sceneggiatura, regia, montaggio e interpretazioni pazzesche. Ormai, di solito, gli extra dei bluray si trovano già prima su internet, ma qui tutte le interviste (45 minuti almeno) sono nuove, mai viste. Prodotto eccellente.

Da comprare, questo film mette in evidenza il vero carattere di Steve, francamente lo pensavo diverso.Veramente istruttivo.Lo raccomando ai giovani.
