Think differently

Rating: 8/10 (29 December 2015)

I liked the movie "Steve Jobs" very much, although it is definitely not a movie for everyone.
Michael Fassbender plays the leading role (Steve Jobs) and delivers the best performance of his acting career. Aaron Sorkin proves once again that he is one of the best writers in the movie business because of his beautiful dialogs. I absolutely love his works (i.e. Moneyball, The Social Network and many others). Similar to "The Social Network" the plot switches between times to illustrate different passages of the character's life. The movie is divided in 3 acts and is set in 1984, 1988 and 1998. The supporting cast is great, too. Kate Winslet is simply gorgeous and Seth Rogen surprised me positively. Famous director Danny Boyle tried to achieve something similar that the director of Birdman (2014) attempted. We follow the main character step by step without anything being left out. I liked the idea and it was well-implemented. The movie score is very decent as well.
All in all, I enjoyed every second of this movie, even though it is "different" than the casual movies you watch. I can understand if people don't like it since the structure is quite unusual. However, I believe Aaron Sorkin, Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslet will be among the favorites for their respective categories in this year's Academy Awards.
