“Steve Jobs” Fassbender makes life of Apple founder to fireworks – t-online.de

“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

Every time product. Diving the same figures on that shake the lives of tech visionary.

Can you, squeeze such a complex personality who has changed the world as sustainable in a simple scheme and at the same time tell a gripping, true story

Danny Boyle: “I wanted to make no biopic”

Yes and no. “Steve Jobs” has no claim to retell his life. “I wanted to make no biopic”, the screenwriter Aaron Sorkin underlined already at the premiere at the US Film Festival in Telluride. He did not want to play Jobs’ “greatest hits”. With the Facebook movie “The Social Network” about Mark Zuckerberg the successful author who won the screenwriting Oscar

Director Danny Boyle tried to explain so. They wanted “the sound of Jobs’ mind, with all its wonders and horrors “capture. The Oscar-winning director (“Slumdog Millionaire”) is understood to drama and tension, even when there is only one venue. In Boyle’s “127 Hours” is a climber for days trapped in a rock canyon. For the British’s “Steve Jobs” but probably the hitherto “greatest challenge” of his career.



Michael Fassbender shows complexity of Steve Jobs

The brilliance of his protagonist makes weaknesses in the plot of the film Bet. The German-Irish actor Michael Fassbender (38, “Shame”, “hunger”, “Macbeth”) provides jobs not really similar, but completely transformed into a multi-faceted figure: short-tempered, undiplomatic, sometimes vulgar and arrogant. A confident, obsessive perfectionist who realizes his vision.

The 2013 Ashton Kutcher had already tried in “jobs”. The similarity of Jobs’ slightly bent transition until his voice was, amazingly. However, the conventionally told story – from the long-haired college dropouts, on the Work years in the parents’ garage to rise as a tech millionaire – tore the audience not with

“Steve Jobs” against it captivates with a dazzling display of dialogs. and thrives on the tension between the characters – the cast is great. Sorkin has based on his screenplay loosely on the authorized biography of Jobs by journalist Walter Isaacson, who led some 40 interviews with the Apple founder. Many others had their say, who met Jobs on his life – and often injured. The Tome “Steve Jobs” was in 2011, published shortly after the cancer death of 56-year-old.

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 introduced the iMac after his return to Apple. Sorkin and Boyle drive the countdown to the nerve-racking product demonstrations with fictional encounters on the top.

Every time settles jobs with the key figures at: As is his longtime friend Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogen), who designed the first Apple computer, which then marketed Jobs awesome. “Woz” wants more recognition for himself and his team, and throwing words to the head, the real Steve Wozniak may have thought in the movie the Jobs character – but has never publicly expressed. 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 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, not just the audience.

“Steve Jobs” leaves much out. Too much, throw some US critics before the movie. Wife Laurene Powell and her three children with jobs fall out completely, as the pioneering inventions such as iPod, iPhone and iPad. Humanly comes the man with the black turtleneck away not good.

Jobs could be difficult, rude and brusque, said tech columnist Walt Mossberg, who had the Apple CEO frequently interviewed in the technology blog “The Verge “. But he has become more mature and milder over the years. “This hidden Mr. Sorkin before its viewers. The best of the real Steve Jobs evolves just as ‘Steve Jobs’ ends,” lamented Mossberg.

In key moments, the film also makes gross misinterpretations of the art -Story. One example of many: The nextcube of Jobs’ second company is dismissed in the film as a useless piece of furniture designer, had taken in the jobs only on the design of the black cube-housing. We are talking about but of a computer with a pioneering operating system on which the scientist Tim Berners-Lee developed the first significant design of the World Wide Web.

The biopic, which will be none, despite the rough factual Schnitzer exciting, well-made movie. And it is certainly not the last movie about Steve Jobs.
