It is said that the reputation of this movie is not particularly good. For example, it is boring, has no climax, and has no acting skills. I even reported to see how bad it was. But after watching it, I think it's a pretty cool movie! What do you expect it to look like? Is it a climax if the gang leader Joe takes out his iPhone at the end?
I think the male lead played very well, at least he was very attentive, as you can see from his eyes. Of course, if he hadn't been so deliberately imitating Mr. Joe's walking posture, I'd almost give him full marks. As for the other actors, not bad. But maybe like Jobs himself, the stars are always so dazzling that you almost ignore everyone else in the movie. Also, the music is good.
The movie was released almost at the same time as the iPhone 5S and 5C. To be honest, they have nothing to do with Jobs. Apple's current operators want to retain the original style of APPLE, but also want a larger market, but often want everything, but often get nothing. Didn't Jobs know that colorful shells were fun, and that "local gold" was alluring? But that's not Apple's taste and philosophy. What Apple has been pursuing is to simplify the complex, and black and white is enough. So at this point, the movie coincides with it. It does not pursue everything, but just selects a few key segments. Many people complained on the Internet that there was no IPAD and IPHONE in the movie, but so what? The movie is about people, not a product introduction. I believe that if Joe is still there, the iPhone will never be Apple's last climax.
But I think the movie still has some shortcomings, such as he shows the less glorious parts of Steve Jobs's character, people who don't know the old Joe's story may even hate this guy, but it doesn't explain why he is like this. I remember a line in the movie that said that to create products that can touch people's hearts, the reason why this movie is not so touching may be because of the portrayal of the characters' souls. A child who has been abandoned by his relatives since childhood, the only thing he has to do when he grows up is to constantly prove that it was wrong for you to abandon me in the first place. A person who is insecure in his heart is destined to be as sensitive, extreme, and egoistic as he is, and no amount of achievements can fill the emptiness and extreme loneliness in his heart. In fact, he has always been alone. In the movie, he sometimes looks like a lunatic, but in fact, he is just a child, a willful child. In my mind, the end of the movie should be a rainy night, when Jobs meditated alone in an empty living room, with only a floor lamp beside him.
Coincidentally, I have been watching Kazuo Inamori's "Living Method" in the past two days, an equally great entrepreneur from the East. In the end, you will find that the truly great entrepreneurs pursue the same things in their hearts. The most profound things are often the most simple, but "truth, goodness and beauty". Through the so-called ideas, visions, and values, across languages, ethnic groups, and beliefs, unity is finally achieved at the philosophical level. It's just that Jobs was more assertive, while Inamori was relatively reserved. Jobs "live only to change the world" and Inamori's "enhance the mind and hone the soul", the former is an ideal, the latter is a process. Because you can only change the world if you change yourself first.
There is a song "Wake me up when September ends", "Wake me up when September ends" (also translated by God as "Sleep until the National Day", hehe~). It was an honor to have two hours on the last day of September to be so close to the genius in me and be touched by him at the same time.
I will watch it again with my friends.
