Jobs in three acts – Südwestpresse

Los Angeles

With He has changed the world of his vision. The Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was a difficult genius with complex personality. But the film “Steve Jobs” not always adheres to the reality

.

“Steve Jobs” is like a play in three acts. The core scenes in a small space. There are three key moments in the career of the Apple co-founder, in each case prior to the introduction of a new product. Every time diving on the same figures that shake the lives of tech visionary.

Can you squeeze such a complex personality in a simple scheme and at the same time tell a gripping, true story? Yes and no. “Steve Jobs” has no claim to recount his life, says the director Danny Boyle.

The brilliance of his protagonist makes weaknesses in the plot betting. The German-Irish actor Michael Fassbender looks Jobs not really similar, but transforms itself credible in a complex figure: short-tempered, undiplomatic, sometimes vulgar and arrogant. A confident, obsessive perfectionist who realizes his vision.

Aaron Sorkin has loose on the authorized biography of Jobs by journalist Walter Isaacson is oriented at his script. This film explores three important moments in the life of Apple co-founder. 1984, when Jobs introducing the first Macintosh. In 1988 when he presented his NeXT computer after Apple exit. And in 1998, when he introduces the I-Mac after his return to Apple. Sorkin and Boyle drive the countdown to the nerve-racking product demonstrations with fictional encounters at the tip

Every time settles Jobs at the key figures:. As is his longtime friend Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogen), the first Apple Computers designed that Jobs then marketed awesome. “Woz” wants more recognition for himself and his team, throwing words to the head, which has the real Steve Wozniak might have thought, but never made a public statement in the film of the jobs figure. The Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet is great as a marketing manager Joanna Hoffman who sacrifices himself as a “work-wife.” The former Apple CEO John Sculley (Jeff Daniels) and the software guru Andy Hertzfeld (Michael Stuhlbarg) come with jobs together. The scenes with his illegitimate daughter Lisa, which he denied at first, go to the heart.

“Steve Jobs” leaves much out. Too much, some US critics opinion. Jobs’ wife Laurene Powell and her three children drop out, as inventions like I-Pod, I-Phone and I-Pad. The film also affords gross misinterpretations of the art-history. So the next-Cube is dismissed in the film as useless designer furniture. We are talking about but of a computer with a pioneering operating system on which Tim Berners-Lee developed the first draft of the relevant World Wide Web. The biopic, which will be none, despite the Schnitzer is exciting, well-made movie.
