Steve Jobs: The Bible of Fruit Powder

A movie like Steve Jobs makes it easy to compare it to The Social Network, or even measure it against what The Social Network has already accomplished. But after watching the whole film, we have to admit that there is absolutely no comparison between the two. Although they are all about the life ups and downs of the two most revolutionary elites in today's IT field, their styles and methods are so different.

As we all know, the narrative process of "The Social Network" is a combination of fiction and reality, and the sword goes against the wind. With the development of the plot, the film has evolved into an independent and wonderful drama to a large extent; and "Jobs Biography" has emphasized realism from beginning to end. With the record, it is silently restoring the past of the gang leader Qiao, and it is carefully recreating the God in the eyes of the fruit powder, which can be said to be a standard biopic approach.

In the "Old Testament • Genesis", God said that if there is light, there will be light; in the movie "Jobs Biography", Jobs said that he needed a small and quiet computer power supply, so he had a small and quiet computer power supply. When the director portrayed the rise of Steve Jobs, he basically created it according to the description of God creating man in the Bible. In the fields in the suburbs, the sun is pouring, and in the camera, Jobs wanders alone. The strong yellow color of oil painting is accompanied by the accompaniment of classical music, which endows the whole character with a "divine" light. At the same time, after Steve Jobs's guidance, they suddenly became enlightened in the garage, and they started working in full swing, easily completing the first personal computer in human history. And all the people around him became his faithful believers from the moment they saw him, and Mike, who came to the door, saw at a glance that this person must have done a lot, and offered a huge investment with both hands. Whether it is the process of making or selling, the director did not set too many obstacles for him. There is no doubt that the director himself is a loyal fan of Apple. In his heart, Steve Jobs is God, and it is easy for God to create things. Those who have been instructed by God will naturally be enlightened and relieved.

Such an approach is undoubtedly the most conservative and safest for a film celebrating one of the greatest men of our era. In the market positioning of the film, its main consumer group is fruit fans, and one of the characteristics of fruit fans is extremely high loyalty. The Apple brand is their religion, and Apple's founder, Steve Jobs, is naturally their god. And what the movie has to do is to try to satisfy the audience as much as possible. Therefore, the birth of Apple in the film, from beginning to end, contains a peaceful atmosphere of Genesis.

If the first half of the film is compared to "Genesis", then the middle part of the film is "The Passion." Here, Jobs is like Jesus. He personally recruited the CEO of PepsiCo as his disciple, but in the end, he was betrayed. As a result, he was forced to leave the Apple he founded. The whole business fell into a low point and began to experience a series of life. suffering. But God is God after all. With the help of other disciples and his own efforts, Jobs staged a Jedi counterattack and was successfully resurrected. In this way, the second half of the film is undoubtedly equivalent to the "Gospel" in the Bible. After returning, Jobs delivered his inner monologue with confidence, and we also know that since then, Apple has entered a new dynasty.

"Jobs Biography" is the "Bible" of fruit fans, so the film also takes great pains to spread the ideas of the gang leader Joe. Ashton Kutcher's Joe Gang is not only similar in appearance, but also in the way he walks and gestures are amazingly consistent. The makeup effect of the opening scene is simply amazing in the long-range lens. And his uninterrupted meanness and paranoia in the film also won the essence of the outside world's understanding of Jobs himself. As for the idea of ​​"changing the world" that Gang Master Qiao adheres to, it is also recorded in the entire movie as a teaching over and over again.

As a biopic of a character, although "Jobs Biography" is not as eccentric and unique as "The Social Network", its sincerity, conservatism, and respect for the elites of the era are the most important for Jobs himself. Good memory. Like a god, he has changed the world more than once, and his great deeds can only be written in the rhythm of God.
