In a blank space, a person, brooding with his chin up, has slightly white hair, a pair of glasses, and a black dress.
The blank in the upper left corner has his name on it.
Steve Jobs
This is his story. Also his stage.
Someone once commented on the film:
"Michael Fassbender made us forget what Jobs was like, as if the person who looked at the camera with his chin in the biography was no longer him, he was more like his shadow."
This Undoubtedly the best explanation for this movie.
In his hands, apple has never been a machine, but more like a derivation of human functions. He never pays attention to novel appearances. Only things that are close to life and that are really accessible like apples are what we really need.
in my eyes. There is no doubt that he is a genius. But unreasonable. Not even humane. Later, I felt that he might be the only person in the world qualified to do so. This character has made him, and has made the most glorious moments of his life.
I'm not a fruit fan, nor a tech junkie. And I know those who really like apple products, their reasons. For these people, Apple is not just a machine, but an idea, a belief.
The belief that "to live is to change the world."

In 1984, that was the launch of the first Mac computer.
Have not started.
He asked the venue that when he lifted the cloth covering the mac, everyone in the venue could not be disturbed by anything, and they all watched the computer that he valued most appeared in front of them without exception. . That is to say. Not only did all the lights in the venue go out, but even the fire indicator lights could not be turned on.
The people at the meeting told him. Don't talk unless you can change the nature of the fire. He closed his eyes. Turn around.
"Fuck!"
Then he looked at the big screen and typed a line on the computer in front of him. That was the line of words he wished the Mac could say.
A simple, "hello".
"If he can't say hello, it's better to cancel this conference." He said this to the assistant beside him.
For him, this may be a very important thing. In his mac, he must be able to say that short sentence, hello, to everyone sitting at the seat.
He was waiting for them to applaud the performance of the feature.
Lisa and her mother, Chrisann, were standing in the doorway of the dressing room, waiting for Jobs, who waited for the show to start. He didn't want to have this daughter, and once denied the relationship between the two in the magazine. When Jobs was arguing with Chrisann, Lisa was using Jobs' Mac computer and sitting quietly on the sofa. Not a word was said.
Jobs ended his conversation with Chrisann, promised her child support, and looked at the computer screen instead.
"Are you drawing with a mac?"
"Well, it's fun, I'm drawing an abstract painting..."
"You're the first person to draw your own stuff with a Mac." Jobs interrupted Lily Sarah's words.
Chrisann started urging Lisa to leave.
"Did you name a computer after me?" Lisa turned her head before walking out the door. , (referring to the lisa computer, it can be said that there is no mac without Lisa)
"What?"
"It's that lisa, that's my name." She looked at the computer.
"No, it was just a coincidence, a short name for a machine."
"Goodbye, Dad," Lisa turned her face away.
"Goodbye" Jobs looked at the seat Lisa had left.
Woz walked in,
"Jobs, I think...I have a request."
. . .
The phrase hello greeted everyone present at the press conference. Woz left the meeting in disappointment. He didn't hear Jobs say a word of thanks to the second-generation head of Apple. The fire light is still on. The applause remained warm.

"You can only really change the world if you are crazy enough to believe that you can change the world."
That Mac was not a success, and the three-month expectation of 1 million units was only one-fifth. Then the sales are not optimistic.
On a rainy night, only one room in the company was lit. In that room, all the people raised their arms high, only Jobs leaned against the door, silent. Looking at the John Sculley he recruited (former CEO of Apple. From 1970 to 1983, John Sculley served as the president of the company; from August 1983 to 1993, he served as the CEO of Apple.) In his Handed a dismissal letter in front of him.
Jobs was swept out of his company like rubbish.
After that, he never returned to Apple.
And founded NeXT software company. And in one fell swoop beat Apple at that time in terms of technology. Apple is facing bankruptcy.
It was one of many presentations he left the company. What is about to be exhibited above is a cube black box.
"Here comes Woz," Jobs' assistant whispered.
"Well, is he here to celebrate, the brilliance of this new company?" Jobs sat in front of the vanity mirror, his features printed in orange lights.
"I think he may have come to tell you to give up this company. After all, without him, there will be no more shocking works like Apple 2." The assistant shrugged, and then began to look through the materials in his hand.
"The Apple 2 is my disgrace. Even if everyone likes him so much, he should be out. No one likes an old thing." Jobs began to tie.
"People who have followed you think you're useless, you can't design software, you can't install electrical boards without instructions, and there's not even a single Apple computer that you did by yourself...."
Jobs thought for a while.
"Did you know there's a concert hall in this building?"
"Yes, I know, it's upstairs."
"I snuck in once and listened to a concert, which was wonderful. After it was over, I went backstage. Ask that Conductor. "You didn't do anything in this concert except waving that stick, don't you think it's useless?" And he said, "No, they might not be able to play well without me, beautiful music has its own Rhythm. And I'm the one who adjusts the rhythm." "
What does that mean? "
Tell Woz, "You're a very good violinist, yes, you're very good every time you play, you call them all very good instrumentalists, but, with me, you've got A perfect show with its own rhythm." And that's why I exist. "
Jobs had sorted everything and opened the fitting room door. Lisa was measuring the black box on the table with a ruler.
"Dad." I measured every side and they were 23cm. Lisa put the ruler down and looked at Jobs.
"No." "Jobs replied, "There is a face that is 22.9 centimeters, so that people will really feel like a cube. "
"But I measured it with a ruler. "
You may have read it wrong, and can you guarantee that your ruler is completely accurate?" "Jobs was a little impatient and frowned.
"What do you mean by abnormal?" Lisa asked suddenly..
"What?" "
"Exceptional. "
"You asked this question before, and I answered it."
"I forgot." Lisa picked up the cloth in front of her and covered it on the NeXT.
"Exceptions refer to abnormal events that occur during program execution, usually caused by hardware problems or program design problems. "Jobs put on his suit." Remember, don't ask me the same question again. "He turned to leave.
Lisa suddenly hugged Jobs who was about to leave.
"Dad, I want to live with you."
Chrisann walked in and said to Lisa. "It's time for you to go to school, let's go."
Lisa let go of Jobs and met the expressionless face. "I mean..."
"It's time for you to go to school. Go."
Jobs adjusted his tie again. Push open the door.
It was a long corridor. Not a single window. Several lights illuminate the way to the venue. Jobs walked through aperture after aperture. The assistant followed.
"Lisa always asks me something I've asked before, why?" Jobs folded his hands.
"When a person feels that another person has a bad mood because of his remarks, he will try to say something the other person likes to restore the other person's mood," the assistant replied.
Jobs walked into the meeting. exhaled. There are many people in the audience. Those familiar faces made him not know where to start.

In 1997, the imac computer was launched.
Jobs stood alone on the stage, talking about the iMac to those who had come in. The blue all-in-one computer with a bit of transparency might be the materialization of his dream.
And it's still under the hood, waiting for the start of the press conference.
The organizer of the venue went under the stage and told Jobs who stood on the stage. "This time you want to invite me to dinner, I asked them to turn off all the lights, including the fire indicator."
Jobs was very excited, and crouched down like a child. Shake hands with her. "You're finally useful," the
assistant said behind Jobs, coming in through the side door.
"Lisa wants to talk to you."
Jobs loosened his tie and walked to the side door.
There are many people at the side door, all of whom are iMac developers, leaning against the walls of the hallway. Looking at the speech in their hands, in five minutes, they will be on stage to introduce the functions of the iMac to the audience.
Lisa, dressed in casual clothes and a peaked cap, listened to headphones waiting for Jobs in the middle of the group.
"Lisa, why are you here?" Jobs walked up to her.
"I found something at school, a 1984 Time magazine." Lisa took a Time magazine from her backpack. "There's your interview here. In that interview, you said I'm not your daughter. And 28 percent of all men in the United States may be my dad."
"No, Time magazine is just a piece of nonsense. No Gotta listen to them..." Jobs took the book, which he had seen in 1984 when he thought he was worthy of being on the cover of that issue of Time...
"And you After living together for so long, you have never accepted my daughter..." Lisa started walking towards the parking lot.
"Lisa!" Jobs yelled, and he squeezed out of the crowd to follow in Lisa's footsteps.
In the scorching sun outside, Jobs narrowed his eyes. Lisa walked to a car.
"I'm going to put music in your pocket!" Jobs suddenly shouted.
Lisa turned her head, her eyes were red. "What?"
"The player on your belt is ugly and bulky. I'm going to use something better, a machine that fits in your pocket." Jobs pointed to Lisa's tape player.
"But so what, when I saw you when I was five years old, you didn't even want to tell a small lie about that machine. Besides, she was only five years old. You told her what a coincidence was." Sarah opened the door.
"No, I lied." Jobs raised his glasses.
"No, you told me it was a machine, a cold machine."
"No, there isn't a machine called Lisa for short, I named it after you. And..." Jobs paused After a while "And I wish I had a daughter like you."
Lisa got out of the car "How much does it have?"
"What?"
"I mean, how many songs can your machine have?"
"Um...about 500 to 1000, so you don't have to rush to change tapes..."
"Thanks." Lisa took off her earphones.
Jobs looked at his watch.
"The press conference is about to begin." Lisa walked up to Jobs.
Jobs looked at her
. "If you don't mind, I'd like to invite you."
Lisa nodded.

Jobs stepped onto the launch pad. Wave to the audience.
"This is the launch of the first iMac, and before we start, I want to introduce you to someone."
Under the spotlight, Jobs walked to the backstage entrance.
And there, it wasn't just the staff standing there.
And Lisa.
————————
This is his story and his stage. From that garage, his life began to turn. He proved himself with everything he had. When he left Apple, no one believed in his ability. But he used it to tell those who never thought about him that your choice may be a mistake.
He is not human, but he feels that everything should be humanized.
Use creativity to break the distance between technology and people.
He is Jobs. Steve Jobs.
To Steve Jobs
, "Some people, though short, live wonderfully."
