Steven Jobs is the man who created a technological revolution, he created the device I am using to write this review, and I can almost bet that whatever device you are using too read this review is a Apple device created by Jobs. He has changed peoples lives forever, because think about it how long do spend on your iPhones,iPads, and MacBooks a day. To put it simply a lot, and therefore watching a film based on his life was very intriguing to say the least.But the film is not based on his life, the trailers, the films title eludes the viewer, instead the film is set in thee acts like a play would be,in which we get to see the growth of Apple, from failure to the heights of success. Danny Boyle, and Aaron Sorkin take a gamble that pays off, people excepted a full blown biopic, they wanted the ins and out of his life, they wanted to know how Apple was created etc. But instead we are given a insight of how Jobs and his key members of Apple grew with the failure and eventually success of Apple.The film does not get into the nitty gritty stuff, instead it talks only about Jobs's dream of making Apple into a successful path breaking company. Its was also interesting to know that Jobs was not the absolute amazing human being we thought he was, but more on that later.
Steve Jobs is told in three acts, in which we see the growth of Steve Jobs, and Apple. The first act is set in 1984 when Jobs introduces the MacIntosh a new apple product.The second act is set in 1988, when Jobs has been fired by Apple and is set to launch his new company computer Next. The final act is when Jobs launches the iMac, in 1998, after he returns to Apple.
Acting wise we see one of the best ensemble casts of the year in Steve Jobs.Micheal Fassbender is Steve Jobs, not for second do you think he is enacting a part, and he leaves you in awe with his dedication to the role.Kate Winslet is electrifying as Jobs's assistant, in the third act when she is yelling at Jobs she completely takes charge of the film.Seth Rogen underplays his role to perfection. and his final argument with Jobs in the third act after he walks away with superb panache, that scene defines his act. Jeff Daniels is superb, and at times overshadows the whole cast.
Steve Jobs is almost like a experimental film, with the way its presented in three acts, and with its long scenes, its something you have never on the screen before. Its almost like a theater play. And for a lot of viewers this experiment might not work, people come excepting a biopic with a lot insight into apple and Jobs. But the film instead jam packs everything into the three acts, and there a lot under currents which the viewers has to pick up, they are not spoon feed information. However Steve Jobs works because of the reason why many may stay away from the film, the three act experiment for me was really refreshing, and the way we got the the growth of Jobs through these act was completely inspiring, and different. The tension filled launches were very entertaining to see, it was almost as the viewer was there in every big move Apple made.It was also nice to see that they showed the really Jobs in his many honest shades, because obviously we know he is a great man, but we never knew that he was also selfish, sly, and so self centered.The films best part however is the growth we see between Jobs and his daughter. There relationship starts of as a fragile one but slowly we see a very heartwarming relationship emerge, and in the end reels you may even shed a tear or two.
Overall Steve Jobs, is a experimental film that is completely inspiring and moving, watch the film to see he rise of one the greatest entrepreneurs of the 21st century. In the end of Steve Jobs you will be left in awe, but I must say for as great as the film was, there was something still missing in the film don't know exactly what, maybe because I was excepting a biopic, but regardless its still a great film
4/5* or 8/10
