You Had One Jobs

Rating: 8/10 (26 March 2016)

I liked the Newton and the stylus, etc. etc. But Jobs did have me for a while there. In fact, after scrupulous, even desperate, research - the Pismo became the first computer I bought. And even though I never bought a newer Apple - it did serving me well for many years (try as Apple might to push me into upgrades). I think Jobs was mainly a fashion visionary. But, as much as I hate to admit this - fashion is a huge part of human history. And his impact thereupon - is indeed likely to run very deep.
I don't know how accurate this portrait is. I honestly don't. But it is certainly a well-painted one. Depicting a man with just the stuff needed - to said impact. At a particular moment in time. A portrait which allowed itself an unusually rich range of shades and colors. Largely so, thanks to its minimalism. Its willingness to do away with much of the clutter that usually drags such films down.
