Becoming Steve Jobs


The movie, "Steve Jobs" was the best version of his story outside the book.  It shows the intensity and thought processes of this unusual person.  The movie is in three acts like a play with several flashbacks.  Each scene is just minutes before he is about to unveil a new product. He did all such events in the same San Francisco Theater.  Act 1 is unveiling the Macintosh computer. Act two is the unveiling of the "NEXT" computer and Act 3 is the unveiling of the iMac.  The actual unveilings are never scene.  What is seen his his interactions with those he works or have worked with and his daughter.

As in the book I keep asking, "Could I work for this guy more than a day?"  He is either a tormented genius or the Genius who torments.  OR he is both.

Great Movie, Great Acting. This is a movie of dialogue. If you need action, go elsewhere.

I give this movie a second straight *****stars. 2015 Movie #48
