I
finally got a chance to check out the movie Steve Jobs. I have to say
that I enjoyed it very much and if I'd watched it before writing my
favorite movies of the year and recording the Chocket Awards (click here to check that out!) I would have added this to some of my
categories. This stars Michael Fassbender as Jobs and Kate Winslet as
Joanna Hoffman. This movie was so damned enjoyable and seemed to fly
by as I watched it as his career through clever use of flashbacks
show his career helping build the first Apple computer in a garage to
being a multimillionaire.
It
starts out in 1984 with Jobs harassing an employee over the computer
not welcoming the audience with a hello and threatening to embarrass
him in front of everyone. They end up finagling a way to make it
work. Jobs is also upset about a Time article not being about him but
a computer. Not his computer but a random one. His marketing
executive Hoffman tries her best to deal with his tantrums, self
destructive behavior. Also the fact that he has a young daughter
named Lisa that he denies is even his and the mother that wants to be
supported by him.
I
didn't think I would enjoy this movie as much as I did. I really
liked the acting, the way it was filmed, and the damned dialogue.
Camille says to her it felt like a play and I agree with her. I had
small issues with the movie like Winslet's accent fluctuating a few
times dramatically but otherwise I really liked this.
