What was Sorkin thinking?

Rating: 7/10 (24 October 2015)

With such wonderful material in Walter Isaacson's book, I do not understand why Sorkin, one of my favorite writers, chose to focus on such a narrow part of Steve Job's life. For example, in the book, Joanna Hoffman was a good early colleague, but in the movie becomes nearly a focal point. Same with his troubled relationship with his daughter. Here was a story that did not need the fictionalized inserts.
The acting was superb, but isn't it curious that the two leads were Brits who needed dialect coaches? We're there no qualified, available American actors?
Know, too, that the action here takes place 20-30 years ago, and portrays some early corporate infighting during a time when Apple's success was anything but assured.
