+ Not for you, it's you

+ Core values ​​do not need to change as the company grows

+ "Zen Temple" and "Humanities" have always appeared in the film, and "simplicity" have always appeared in the film. I think some of them are too beautifying and deified. Even many people around me think that the simplicity and beauty of the iPhone is related to the beauty of Jobs. But in fact, if you read Jobs' biography and Jony Ive's biography, and then look at the source of Ipod plagiarism, Bailing, the deification is too much. Jobs insists on perfection and creativity, but after all, he is not a designer, he did not design it himself. The appearance design of the product is also the final result of various coincidences. However, Jobs has created an environment where designers can play, because almost all companies are too practical. Designers are always pressed by the cost pressure of the production department. Apple has become the best example of design that can create value.

+ This film did not visit Jonny Ive at all, it is really not enough

+ Foxconn employees, pollution, and options are wrong or right, but there must be pros and cons for this kind of thing. The director's editing wants to lead him to the result that we want. I think this editing is not neutral enough

+ The film is not bad, but the biography is still much better, more detailed, more oriented, not deliberately beautified or ugly, the author's position is more neutral

Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine quotes

  • Himself - Narrator: In the end I was left with the same question with which I began this journey: Why did so many strangers weep for Steve Jobs? It is just simple to say it was because he gave us products we love, without asking why we love them the way we do. It is too simple even to conclude that we love them because they connect us to a wider world and the people in our lives that are far away. Because these machines isolate us too. Perhaps the contradictory nature of our experience with these gadgets, narrates the contradictions of Jobs himself: He was an artist who sought perfection, but could never found peace. He had the focus of a monk, but none of the empathy. He offered us freedom, but only within his closed garden to which he held the key.
