Lonely than Fireworks, she tells the story of the legendary cellist Du Prey. She won two Oscar nominations in one fell swoop that year, but her reputation was not good. From a movie standpoint, it's a really good movie. An important reason for the film's poor reputation is the contradiction between the story itself and the audience's expectations. With the character prototype of the story, the audience came to the cinema, made them full of expectations, but let them see the things they least wanted to see.
"Jobs" clearly followed in the footsteps of "she is lonelier than fireworks". In front of the crazy Apple fans, it shows exactly what fans don't want to see. Although it did not turn the protagonist into a mistress like "She is Lonely than Fireworks", it turned a legendary Steve Jobs into a Van Gogh-style crazy character.
Jobs wrote one legend after another, advancing the world and changing the technological process of all mankind. In this "Jobs", however, we see nothing but a paranoid and a lunatic.
The film focuses on the character of Jobs, and lacks ink on his environment. So in the end it was shown that everything revolved around Jobs, which made the director want to express the opposite.
In this film, Jobs is not creative at all, he just sells the results of his best friends; he is not a perfectionist, he is just a paranoid who will lose his temper at others; he only thinks about himself in everything, and is wrong shirk responsibility for things; he is irresponsible and leaves his pregnant girlfriend alone; he is sloppy, he has sex. . . And these are not what we most want to see. This is an all-too-real Jobs, and the one we least want to see.
The movie ended before the iPod was invented. I believe this is the reason why most viewers give low scores. We always want to know more about the things we are familiar with. And I think there must be no shortage of such boys: they have done a lot of Apple homework before watching movies, starting from iPods to iPhones and iPads, ready to show off to their female partners, or to achieve a counterattack in front of the goddess. However, the plan ultimately fell through due to the abrupt end of the film. Moreover, from the perspective of popular psychology, human beings generally have a dazzling psychology. If they see the iPhone in their hands appear on the big screen, they will be very excited. However, the film did not meet any psychological needs of the public at all. Not only does the film tell the last thing people want to know, the most insulting thing to an idol, but it also doesn't tell the thing people want to know the most.
So this is not just a Jobs that is too real, but a Jobs that is too far away.
In terms of film alone, it's not a bad movie. However, in terms of story, this is a very empty biographical story, except for Jobs' personal story experience, there is nothing.
No thoughts, no feelings, just a story of nothing. And this story selects the part of Jobs' life that people are least interested in, and there are many and complicated things to tell, friendship, career, love, and the relationship with his illegitimate daughter, the difficulty of starting a business, the unfavorable environment, and the people around him. is not supported. So many things have been said, but none of them have been well said.
With so many layers of distortion, what we see is no longer Jobs, he is just one of the few but by no means rare paranoia in this world.
