Great movie, I recommend every technology enthusiast to watch

Rating: 8/10 (2 March 2016)

Great movie, excellent dialogues. Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslet definitely deserved to get nominated for Oscars. I like the fact that they even shot each of the three acts in a different visual format: The 1984 launch of the Mac was done on 16-millimeter film, 1988's NeXT event was shot on 35 millimeter and 1998's iMac launch was shown via the digital ALEXA system. Doyle not only shot the story in sequence, he made time for weeks long rehearsal periods before each section was filmed. Though it will undoubtedly mean more to people somewhat intimately familiar with Apple's history, Steve Jobs is a nevertheless affecting piece of cinema that never attempts to canonise its subject matter. Jobs is a man of enormous self-confidence, driven like nobody's business, whose powers of persuasion are so overpowering his employees talk about the "reality distortion field" he is able to create around himself and his ideas. Amazing movie!
