Another biopic about an American jerk, but it works

Rating: 10/10 (4 February 2016)

I'm revising this review after a second viewing, as Jobs' personality is so repulsive, you can't help but be shocked by the content of the film. However, Sorkin's writing and the key actors in the film make this a very enjoyable examination of a modern "god" ... even if you don't respect Jobs much for his egomaniacal personality that alienated so many people. The cinematography is excellent as is the accompanying music/soundtrack. All in all, it's a fine piece of art, with almost non-stop, engaging dialogue that makes you think far beyond the main character. The end is a tear- jerking conclusion that offers some hope for the main character's moral redemption.This belongs right up there with _The Social Network_, in truth, leaving us to wonder when the Google film from Sorkin's keyboard will arrive next to complete the Holy Trinity of Silicon Valley.
