Exceeded expectations

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2015)

I'm typing on my Mac Book now. This is a film representation of a man, a company and his relationships, not a biopic. In that, Sorkin had creative license and achieved his message. Not to take away the excellent cast nor from Boyle's beautiful stylistic direction, but this movie was 90% Sorkin greatness. There were real historical elements and nods to Apple geeks, but for the most part the movie was thematic. Even if the events did not actually happen, the idea was "if it did happen, what would Jobs do and how would Andy or Woz or Lisa or Joanna react?" You have to read between all of Sorkin's lines to understand that this is not just about Jobs. It will make you want to look back into the real history and read the real stories and ask, "how DID Jobs do it?" Not alone, that's one answer. In the late 90s I had a Mac and everyone thought I was crazy because it wasn't compatible with anything. And I liked that. I guarantee almost all of them now have some sort of Apple product...Apple is always being criticized as a company but continues to succeed. So, despite all the criticism of this movie, go and watch it. The art is in the subtleties.
