This is the second Steve Jobs movie I have seen, the other being the Ashton Kutcher one. This one is by far the better as a whole (only argument in favor of the other that could be made is that Ashton looked more like Steve). The movie tells the story in a unconventional three-part arc that happens behind the stage for the launch of the Macintosh, the Next cube and the iMac. It shows Steve and his constant disagreements with his co-founder Wozniak (Seth Rogen), his daughter Lisa (who he doesn't accept earlier), his work-wife Joanna (Kate Winslet), his wife (Katherine Waterston), the Apple CEO John Scully (Jeff Daniels) and the developer Andy Herzfeld (Michael Stuhlbarg) throughout the course of the movie.And these are the interactions and dialogues that had me hooked on to this movie and the actors led by Michael Fassbender did a great job to showcase that in front of the screen. Aaron Sorkin's screenplay deserves huge credit along with Danny Boyle's direction. It might seem extra ordinary for all these characters to come together at such perfect times during the three event launches to have these conversations but this is a movie that pulls it off in my opinion. Once the acting and dialogue took over, I forgot about all of that. Speaking of dialogues, they are a little too technical for average movie goer to understand and since there is no explanation (something like there in Big Short), some viewers might have to go with the flow. I have understood that Steve might not be a "good" guy but this movie does portray him as a bit too cruel and too confused sometimes (for example when he is trying to accept/not accept his daughter) which could have been avoided in my opinion. I guess in hindsight, if you think about it, that makes the story more compelling. Besides, this is a movie and since I did not meet Steve, I cannot judge.
A very deserved Oscar nomination.
