How or why did Woz actually endorse this?

Rating: 6/10 (24 March 2017)

I'm not a blinkered Steve Jobs fanboy by any means, but this movie was such a one-dimensional character portrayal, it was to the extreme. We all know Jobs, especially the '75-85 Jobs was a petulant, cold, arrogant and notoriously difficult personality to work with. All of the nasty traits and stories were true, but he was a far more complex and multi dimensional personality than the sad, tired, one sided version that this movie perpetuates.
Fassbender does his best, he's a great actor, but sorry, he is horribly miss cast as Jobs, at no point did I believed him to be Steve Jobs for a second. There was not the look, style, mannerisms, speech, charm or charisma of Jobs. None of the inspiring leader, the innovative visionary that he most certainly was, nothing. The movie makers attempted to reveal more of the man behind the brand, a journey into his inner mind, his psyche, but instead we got a thoroughly repulsive, unlikable, sociopathic monster, who was apparently that 24/7...not to say he wasn't any of these at some point in time, but some perspective would have been more realistic. This movie would have been better suited as an overly dramatic stage play.
The equally great genius, Woz is sadly reduced to a geeky, weak, vision-less, accidental side kick, who's held at arms length. And to say in the movie that Jobs never respected Woz, and that he was 'just' an engineer? Absolute rubbish. Talk about fiction. Although small, another reference that's way off is Jobs saying to Lisa that the Sony Walkman is an ugly, useless brick. Jobs was literally OBSESSED with Sony and especially the Walkman, he had the highest respect and famously studied them to try and understand what made them great. Like the way he approached all of his products, movies made about him should be about getting the little details right.
Apparently this was based upon the biography of Jobs by Walter Isaacson, which is a very creative and highly dubious claim. I have read the book, and although far from perfect, and certainly not a documentary, Kutcher's portrayal of Jobs and his movie is a far better rendition of it. Factual inaccuracies riddle both movies, but I enjoyed the other 'Jobs' much more. It was more inline with 'Pirates of Silicon Valley' which Jobs and Woz both claimed were closest to the each of them and their story.
I get they were going for a 'deeper' insight into Steve Jobs character, but a more rounded, less one-dimensional rendition of the man, his impact and his very flawed genius would have been a better approach.
