      This Steve Jobs is simply an aggressive talker



             Two days ago, I watched last year's hit movie "Jobs Biography", a very characterful biopic. The film's conception is simple, but its expression is particularly special. It selects three important press conferences in Jobs' life as performance points, and then shows the real Jobs layer by layer like peeling an onion.

      Pocket love!

      Before reading the introduction, I was very cliche that the theme of the movie would be the inner expression of jobs. After watching the movie, I was convinced by the depth of the screenwriter! Sorkin's style, at first glance, is not very suitable for biographical subject matter. However, just like the famous saying of jobs: different thinking, who said he was making a biography? The movie not only successfully chose a screenwriter, but also successfully chose an actor! Although there is a big...

      A successful paranoid is revered as a genius, and a failure is called a fool

      Because of the good impression of "The Social Network" before, I also had expectations for "Steve Jobs", which was also written by Sorkin. Maybe Zhuyu was in front. After watching it, I felt that the same director, Danny Bo. Earl and David Fincher still have some gaps. In the first story in 1984, Jobs' ex-girlfriend asked Jobs that Apple had a market value of $440 million, and he and his daughter had to live on relief. When Jobs felt, Jobs replied: I think Apple's stock price is undervalued ,...

      Magneto, you, you, don't get excited

      The very tight rhythm, gripping music, and clever editing make this documentary, which was originally difficult to shine, stunned.

      The contradictions and conflicts in the film are accurately grasped, family, friendship, comrade-in-arms, every relationship seems to be very difficult, every bad relationship is just like a footnote added to Jobs' products, everyone only sees it No one pays attention to these minor footnotes to Jobs' success on paper. It is often the invisible things that...

      A fast-paced visually stunning tour

      The image of pretentious but inner certainty is vivid on the paper, rich and three-dimensional. Change all human beings, innovate, pursue perfection, do not take the usual way, and see the world from an extraordinary angle. A good person may be just not good at expressing paranoia, arrogance, maverick, and arrogant, almost asshole, because the world he imagines is different from that of ordinary people, and ordinary people can't keep up with the pace of his thinking, and they can't catch up....

      The entry point, the selection of elements, the presentation of details, and the lines are all wonderful, especially the opening part. I have watched it dozens of times. Maybe Finch will be more complete and stylized, but Boyle is not messed up, PS Paranoia is really a necessary element of genius - Steve Wozniak, Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Steve Jobs, said after watching the film: It feels like watching...

      Is this film at the level of the Oscars... To be honest, I don't think so at all. Although many plots are handled very well, how can this movie be called a documentary? It selects the life experience of Steve Jobs for a period of time, but after watching the movie, I have no idea what Steve Jobs did during this period of...

      Sorkin's script focuses on three important press conferences in Jobs' life. In 1984, Apple launched its first personal computer, the Macintosh. In 1988, NeXT, founded by Jobs, released the Black Cube. In 1998, Jobs returned to Apple to launch the iMac personal computer again. In the style of a newsroom, only through the prelude to the noisy press conference, it presents a real and stubborn...

      Although the whole movie is like three dramas, the script is really good. Sadly, when the movie ends, the era of Jobs has only just...

    Behind the scenes gags

    Apple CEO Tim Cook disagrees with the film’s portrayal of Jobs, and Jobs’ widow Laurenna also tried his best to obstruct the filming of the film.
    The film was originally scheduled to be directed by David Fincher, the director of "Social Network". Sony rejected his $10 million salary and request for 100% creative control of the film.
    Michael Fassbender thinks Bell is very suitable for the role of Jobs, and once called Bell to express this...

    Shooting process

    After Michael Fassbender took over as Jobs, he visited many acquaintances of Jobs, including former Apple CEO John Scully, and Jobs's colleague and friend Joanna Hoffman to try to figure out the role. The script of "Steve Jobs" is divided into three acts, with a total of 182 pages, each with Fassbender's lines. However, a month later, when the other actors were still memorizing lines, Fassbender had memorized 30 times and could...

    Unique angle

    "Steve Jobs" reflects the audience's stereotype of the biopic "From Life to Death", and selects three important nodes in Jobs's life, and the film is structured into a three-act drama: Macintosh released in 1984, 1988 NeXT Computer was released and iMac G3 was released in 1998. It unfolds with a fierce dialogue, outlines the image of Jobs from a private perspective, and uses flashbacks and digressions to insert Jobs's life and career...

    Production intentions

    The three stories were shot using three different media, which fit in with the period described in the film. The first segment of the picture has a strong graininess and obvious noise, which is quite documentary. The second part uses 35mm film with the strongest color texture. The third part uses digital images, the picture is sharp and clear.
    In the film, the scenes are extremely limited like a stage play. However, through creative...

    Excellent actors

    The performances of the actors added to Sorkin's script and brought the dialogue to life. Although Michael Fassbender has been questioned because of the difference in appearance from Jobs, his domineering performance makes this irrelevant. He captured Jobs's innate contempt for rules, strict thinking, and fickle character. Kate Winslet has spanned more than ten years in the three-act play. His styling has also changed from capable...

    Film controversy

    Before the filming of the film, Jobs's wife Laurenna tried to stop, contacting Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale, hoping that they would not take the role. It also contacted Sony and strongly requested not to produce the film. After failure, it tried to persuade the distributor Universal Pictures not to allow it to be released ( Netease Digital   ).
    After the film was released, it caused dissatisfaction among industry insiders,...

    Movie quotes

    • Steve Wozniak: This whole place was built by the Apple II... you were built by the Apple II!

      Steve Jobs: As a matter of fact I was destroyed by the Apple II and its open systems so that hackers and hobbyists could build ham radios or something! And then it nearly destroyed Apple when you spent all your money on it and developed a grand total of no new products.

      Steve Wozniak: The Newton...

      Steve Jobs: The little box of garbage. You guys came up with the Newton, it's like you want people to know that. This is a product launch not a luncheon, and the last thing I want to do is connect the iMac to the...

      Steve Wozniak: ...to the only successful product that this company has ever made. I'm sorry to be blunt, but that happens to be the truth. The Lisa was a failure, the Macintosh was a failure. I don't like talking like this, but I am tired of being Ringo when I know I was John.

      Steve Jobs: Everybody loves Ringo.

      Steve Wozniak: And I am tired of being patronized by you!

      Steve Jobs: You think John became John by winning a raffle, Woz? You think he tricked somebody or hit George Harrison over the head? He was John because he was John.

      Steve Wozniak: He was John 'cause he wrote 'Ticket to Ride', and I wrote the Apple II.

      Andrea Cunningham: [to the people in the auditorium watching this] Everybody, I want to...

      Steve Jobs: Nobody moves!

      Steve Jobs: [to Woz] You made a beautiful board, which by the way you were willing to give out for free, so don't tell me how you built Apple. If it weren't for me, you'd be the easiest 'A' at Homestead High School.

      Steve Wozniak: [gesturing around the auditorium] These people live or die by your praise, so here's your chance: acknowledge that something good happened that you weren't in the room for!

      Steve Jobs: [after a long pause] No.

      Steve Wozniak: Steve... do it! It's right, it's... it's right.

      Steve Jobs: Sorry, but no.

      Steve Wozniak: Then let me put it another way. I don't think there's a man who's done more to advance the democratization that comes with personal computing than I have, but you've never had any respect for me... now why is that?

      Steve Jobs: I'd at least consider the possibility that it's because you've never had any for me.

      Joanna Hoffman: [suddenly walking into the auditorium] What the hell is going on here?

      Steve Wozniak: [as he walks away] Nothing. Thank you for your time.

    • Steve Jobs: [to Steve Wozniak] You came a half inch from putting this company out of business. Now who do I see about that? I'm letting you keep your job. You get a pass.

      Steve Wozniak: You know, when people used to ask me what the difference was between me and Steve Jobs, I would say Steve is the big picture guy and I like the solid workbench. When people ask the difference now, I say Steve is an asshole. Your products are better than you are, brother.

      Steve Jobs: That's the idea, "brother", and knowing that... that's the difference!

    • Steve Jobs: I'm poorly made.
