An original structure

Rating: 6/10 (24 April 2016)

I watched "Steve Jobs" because I studied the former CEO of Apple in English class. I must admit I didn't know much about him, so this review won't take historical accuracy into account. I liked it because of its original structure: the 30-40 minutes before the presentation to the public of a new product. It seems unrealistic to see a man arguing with family, friends, co-workers and employees in order to get things the exact way he wants them to be and getting more or less what he expects in the 30 minutes before the show starts. But after giving it a thought, this way of showing Job's attitude and moments of crisis is original and prevents the movie from being boring. I had a good time but I still don't understand how Jobs got so successful despite his temper. Actors were great, though I think Jobs's daughter when she's 19 could've sounded more natural. A last frustration was to never get to see the presentation of one of the products, but I believe there is archive on the Internet. So, if you are curious about technology or Apple, and even if you don't care, I think watching this movie is a good way to learn (approximatively) how Steve Jobs and Apple became what they've become.
