I read a lot of comments, and people's paradoxical explanation of Jobs boils down to 'paranoia', which makes sense at work, 'never delay start time' 'requires picture perfection' 'yes The persistence of a closed system', these traits are true and could explain many of his bizarre behaviors. However, there are many behaviors that cannot be summed up by this word, such as poor perception in life (daughter asked him a question he had asked before, but he didn’t know why, only when he asked the marketing director did he know that it was the daughter who wanted to hear him say it something interesting), often misrepresenting the truth (attributing not being in Time magazine to someone making a fuss about it, but the truth is that the magazine never considered letting him go in the first place.), unfeeling (biting his wife and throwing a plate at his daughter, letting him The wife wrongly said 'It's not what you say is what it is'.).
So, I said that although this movie seems to be only three press conferences, the screenwriter obviously made it accommodate more things, so that we can understand the complex and multi-faceted character of a genius in such a single scene. That's the success of this movie.
However, I've read a lot of reviews and none of them seem to hit the mark, so I'm watching it a second time (or more), trying to figure out how cleverly the screenwriters justify themselves and let these contradictions appear in one person at the same time. It can be expressed so unmarked and at the same time reasonable.
PS: If you are interested, please leave a message, and I would like to hear your opinions. The explanation I can give at the moment is: Jobs is paranoid at work, and 250 with extremely low emotional intelligence in life.
————————————————————————
After watching the film repeatedly, I strengthened my point of view, that Jobs was indeed very low in emotional intelligence. Jobs in the movie always insists that he is right in everything and never makes concessions. He can make any harmonious conversation atmosphere instantly rattled, even if the person comes with good intentions. In layman's terms, Jobs was a man who couldn't talk. When you meet such a person at work, you can say that he is paranoid, and sometimes it is a compliment. But encountering this kind of person in life will make you mad, and you will never be able to be friends. Sometimes it can be described as unreasonable and inhumane. In life, we call them a single tendon. Such people only distinguish between right and wrong, and only see the pros and cons, but they are the most unreasonable. For example, if he is a judge, and a poor man stole something because of extreme hunger, he should be punished according to the law.
How to explain never make concessions, I read an article before, saying that you must know how to make concessions in order to reap a happy life in unimportant things. The same analogy, the husband and wife have to understand this philosophy when they live. For example, if the husband comes home late, and the wife complains about why he came home late, if the husband doesn’t know how to make concessions, he will answer, “It’s not just to make money to support the family.” Then the wife turns her face and is doomed to a family war. However, if the husband doesn't care, he explains that it is the most recent project period, and then takes a step back and says that he has neglected his wife. If he apologizes, the relationship between the husband and wife will naturally come back harmoniously. As for Jobs, he is not such a person. He only accepts death, only insists on what he is right, never backs down and never considers other people's feelings, so his relationship with friends and husbands is very bad.
Don't think I'm nonsense, I think the screenplay of this movie is wonderful here, and that's exactly what he wants to express.
Many of us have seen that Jobs was a genius and a paranoid, we all know that, but we know very little about his life. The screenwriter showed this level, which is why the film stopped abruptly at the start of the press conference, because everyone has seen the press conference, and everyone knows what he looked like when he played, so smart screenwriters will avoid this. Show him offstage in one scene.
Movies have attitudes. You already know that Jobs is paranoid in the mall, so what about life? The screenwriter tells you that he has a low emotional intelligence. So, is this good or bad, and what is the writer's point of view? After the analogy I made just now, you might as well think about it, how would we describe such a person in reality? That's right, 'not grown up'! It seems that he only knows business, and he knows very little about people. Although he is already an adult, he still behaves like a little child in dealing with people.
It's not that I misinterpreted the film for no reason, but there are facts to prove it. At the end, Jobs admitted that he named the computer after his daughter, and he no longer quarreled with his daughter about skipping class, but invited her into the venue. 'We grew up overnight' in the lyrics. Let’s talk about it, is this kind of lyrics idle, or is it the finishing touch of the whole movie? I don't think it's all that obvious. No matter how good Jobs is in business, he's really grown up now.
It's hard for me to confirm whether the real Steve Jobs reconciled with his family, who knows, but this movie gives us the answer we most wanted: the grown-up genius we prefer.
In fact, if we look closely at the last press conference, we will see that Jobs's ability to grow in character has a lot to do with the people who are always around him and who have been arguing with him. Let’s talk about Andy first. This person and Joe were arguing about the topic of “playing money”. Jobs was arrogant and disappointed Andy very much, but Andy was very sincere. In the end, he paid for Jobs’ daughter’s tuition, which provoked Jobs. Dissatisfaction, when Jobs sneered at Andy, Andy said a sentence, before that sentence, Jobs asked "Is it telling the psychiatrist that Lisa needs a good male character as a role model?", when hearing Andy When he said yes, Jobs finally woke up at this moment. It turned out that he had been a father for many years. At this time, the screen kept flashing back to the scene of Lisa's hour, which symbolized the infinite remorse and self-blame in Jobs' mind.
Secondly, the other person was Woznick, the young man who started his business in the garage with him. The topic of his argument with Jobs was "Thanks to the second generation of Apple at the press conference", but Jobs never did. Until the last press conference, when Watts continued to ask Jobs to thank him, Jobs still refused, and the two finally quarreled again. Of course, because of Jobs’s words, Watts was naturally not an opponent. But the difference is that this time, Watts said this sentence before leaving, "It's not either, you are talented and don't delay your kindness." Jobs was hit, and he realized that he was indeed a different person. OK.
There is another person, that is the Pepsi CEO John, John and Jobs have been arguing about the "advertising space" thing. It wasn't until the third press conference, when Andy had just left, that Jobs had begun to realize that it was his own problem and kept flashing back in his mind, when John appeared. At this moment, Jobs began to reflect. John asked him what was wrong. He said, "Joanna pointed out to me that there are some obvious things that I didn't see." Then he said again, "Is it my fault? Everything screwed up?", John said, "Let's all put it down, it's time."
From this, it is not difficult for you to find that Jobs is really a living person, he is not a genius, he has many shortcomings, he The paranoia in his character makes him often uncompromising on anything, and it also causes him to be ignorant of some world and human relationships, like an idiot, and he often does some delusional things, thinking of others as bad people.
The brilliance of this movie is all in the dialogue, it's a dialogue-driven movie. From these dialogues, we see a crippled Steve Jobs who eventually grows into a healthy and ordinary person.
