Lacks a lot of background

Michael Fassbender was awesome. I think that there will never be a better embodiment of Steve Jobs. I do. Kate Winslet (one of the most beautiful actresses for me) was also breathtaking. Apart from that, the movie itself was nothing special. I mean, if you don't know (and why should you) the story of apple inside out, there's no point in viewing this movie! I found the story really really confusing at times, which left me wondering about almost everything that was going on.
First of all, I didn't appreciate the giant leaps that the movie took, breaching the continuity of the script. One of the factors that made me get lost this one. Apart from that, I am kind of confused what they are trying to depict here. Cause if it's the father-daughter relationship, then they failed. And if it was the mind-games, the plots, etc. behind Jobs' career, they failed again. Too many stuff in too little of screen time overall.
What is the director after? Showing how Jobs was transformed as a father from a negative paternal figure to a positive one? This was not the case. The guy was only good to his child when she was playing with the Mac or later when he made it big time with the launch of the iMac. In the meantime, he was a shitty father. No role model there, no example for no one!
Throughout the movie, Jobs was completely incapable of rising above his own misery or success, to face the needs of his child. And by the way, saying that he will put his daughter's music in her pocket, was not at all awesome or worth mentioning in the end. It did not mend anything. His child was just accepting his lousy character all along. I suppose that we will be expecting more and more Jobs movies in the years to come. I would wish the opposite. Why? Cause some stories are not worth telling, no matter how many apples are attached to them...
