Can't write short reviews.

The idea is very clever, and the clips before the opening of the three conferences are made into a movie. The overall rhythm is fast and not procrastinating. The relevant characters appear in turns, show the conflict straight to the point, and occasionally intersperse with memories. Even if you have no background knowledge, you can basically understand the ins and outs, which can be regarded as a complete narrative. Relatives, friends, partners, and employees have foreshadowed and echoed several lines, and finally all moved from conflict to reconciliation, and everyone was happy.

But the failure also lies in the over-characterization of Jobs as "an ordinary person", creating an image that is not good at expressing and has deep affection in his heart. In fact, from the biography point of view, some things when Jobs was young were assholes, and there is no need to explain too much.

In addition, it is best to watch this film with a little background knowledge, at least understand:

1. Several products of Apple II, Macintosh, Lisa, including the birth process, development team and sales situation
2. The grudge between Wozniak, John Sculley and Steve Jobs

Steve Jobs quotes

  • Andy Hertzfeld: Skip over - everything else is working, skip over the voice demo.

    Steve Jobs: Fix it.

    Andy Hertzfeld: In forty minutes.

    Steve Jobs: Fix it.

    Andy Hertzfeld: I can't.

    Steve Jobs: Who's the person who can?

    Andy Hertzfeld: I'm the person who can, and I can't.

  • Steve Jobs: The exit signs have to be off or we're not gonna get a full blackout.

    Andrea Cunningham: We've spoken to the building manager and the fire marshal.

    Steve Jobs: And?

    Andrea Cunningham: They're absolutely no way they're letting us turn the exit signs off.

    Steve Jobs: I'll pay whatever the fine is.

    Andrea Cunningham: The fine is they're gonna come in and tell everyone to leave.

    Steve Jobs: You explained to the fire marshal that we're in here changing the world.

    Andrea Cunningham: Well...

    Steve Jobs: Did you?

    Andrea Cunningham: Yes, but unless we can also change the properties of fire, he doesn't care.

    Joanna Hoffman: Steve...

    Steve Jobs: If a fire causes a stampede to the unmarked exits, it will have been well worth it for those who survive. For those who don't, less so, but still pretty good.

    Andrea Cunningham: Listen...

    Steve Jobs: I need it to go black, real black. Get rid of the exit signs, and don't let me know how you did it.
