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.
The three conferences were held in 1984, 1988, and 1998. The events corresponding to these three years were: the advent of the first Mac computer, the NeXT computer company founded after Jobs left Apple, and the first iPod player launched by Apple. . These three events are closely related to Jobs' life. The screenwriter dug into these three turning events, thus adding people closely related to Jobs. To sum up, there are three key words in the film. The first one is quarrel. Before the three press conferences, Jobs was always quarreling with colleagues, bosses, and relatives, thus making sure that he was right. Jobs' will-blind character will inevitably be annoying, so he is always "embarrassed" and under attack. The second key word is innovation. From the advent of the first Mac computer to the launch of the iPod player, Jobs grasped the pace of the times and became a market winner. The third key word is family affection. Although Jobs does not agree with his girlfriend, he is full of affection for his illegitimate daughter Lisa, even if his handling method is too "jobs-like". These three cross-sections are enough to see a headstrong, vindictive, and brilliant Jobs.
The biopic is hilarious, and the director's way of shooting is clever, with Danny Ball using the "Slumdog Millionaire" flashback to bring out the key moments of Jobs. It is possible that this is the Steve Jobs imagined by everyone, and it is completely different from the real Steve Jobs, but as a film art, this film is a success. In particular, "French Shark" Michael Fassbender's de-starred down-to-earth performance adds a lot to this film.
