"Two of MOST Significant Events at The 20th CENTURY: at The at The Allies win the WAR and the this."
"Twentieth century's most incomparable two things: the Allied victory and this"

on the eve of the conference IMac Jobs tie all finishing with high-spirited, even though Just got out of the tearful complaint of illegitimate daughter support.

"Because artists lead and hacks ask for a show of hands."
"Because artists lead the times, and mediocrity will only show their hands to vote."

The defiant genius who was kicked out of the company, accompanied by the atmosphere of the raging rainstorm outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the conference room The ensemble will also reveal a fragile look.

Sometimes the movie gives us the feeling as if the sound and picture fade away, the theme song plays, and the subtitles rise on the dark background. That moment is about the essence of everything. After the extremely emotional finale mood faded in my mind, I slowly dismantled those ego, ambient soundtrack, and peerless faces, this question, the nature of a movie or what made it? give the answer.

Steve Jobs is a conceited star, a great cause of light and heat seen hundreds of millions of light years away, the initiator of which revolves day after day, whether it is his anonymous followers or those who are truly indispensable in his life , Repulsion, disgust, mixed feelings, all are just asteroids orbiting stars, revolving infinitely close to eternity, once they try to escape from the force field, they will be deeply attracted.

The great must be mean, and the honest must be bitter.

Adrenaline and flesh and halo are mixed into a commercial action film, so for a literary biopic, based on the biography of a person who has not lived in the past, and complete the conflict between the lengthy words in three acts, it is undoubtedly Sol Gold's dialogue sculpts it.

Sorkin's many years of drama experience created the popular Zuckerberg biography "The Social Network" six years ago, which was also expressed in flashbacks and a large number of dialogues. This Steve Jobs biography lost the conversion rendering of the scene and reduced it to It's just over ten years, three backstages, the stage is switched repeatedly, it is conceivable that it will get two levels of love and hate comments.

Love is also words, hate is also words. The admiring crowd loves the human confrontation in the lines, every word, while the despising people hate the dull and quick dialogue.

The script focuses on the plot of Steve Jobs, the godfather of technology, at three major turning point product launches: Mac, NeXT and iMac, and six characters closely related to him: assistant Joanna, CEO John, illegitimate daughter Lisa, An Apple father, Wozniak, engineer Andy and Chris Ann, mother of Steve Jobs' daughters. To put it bluntly, the 120-minute movie is about how he sparred with the six characters backstage at three shows.

Music is a shot of adrenaline in this monotonous element, in the 80s scene it is a symphony of deep and shallow, in the 90s it is electronic music with rhythm and bounce, just like the legacy that Jobs left us, forever. With the future in mind, think about the impossible.

The ending scene is mixed with the increasingly loud "Grew At Midnight" in the eyes of Jobs and Lisa. The man who used to be unwilling to be called a father has now cut off his unruly long hair, covered in silver. Silk, he said, I'm going to put a few hundred pieces of music in your pocket. Ten years ago, the two of them didn't have the right words, and it seemed like yesterday that they were talking absentmindedly about the song the girl was listening to.

"Who do we have to grow up overnight
we had only one child
love all this world
do our best to make the world a better strength
but also afraid to take a guess those who have lost
it is difficult to know how much you care to pay
it that is The strangest and most vulnerable part of human nature"

Hollywood-style music sensationalized, but softened the image of this hard-hearted genius. In each of the three paragraphs, thunderous applause and loud voices ignited in the press conference seats. That was the only cure for him who was caught in the world's disputes. good medicine.

Wozniak's unwillingness is his knot. Jobs knew nothing about technology or design but was able to master the overall situation. He was so indifferent to the hard work behind the scenes that he could even turn a blind eye to a request for gratitude that spanned more than a decade. He can say an old friend, but he can't let go of his heart.

But Jobs likened himself to Seiji Ozawa. Engineers and designers are musicians, they weave the chapters, but conductors know how to pull the building up and how to move ahead of the times.

Jobs used 1984 as an introduction to build a bridge between audiences and Macs. Behind the advertisements that CEO John sneered at from the businessman mentality accepted by the public, Orwell worried deeply before the times that culture was imprisoned, information was controlled, and truth was Concealed, technology has shaped the world into a pervasive totalitarian regime. On the other hand, Jobs insisted on going his own way with a completely closed end-to-end system. Standing at the node of the era when the Internet was chaotic and deviating from the user-dominated position that most product designers adhered to, tyrants generally set a benchmark that made Apple unique.

He was the conductor, he was the Genesis, he became a god.

This also allows all living beings to spy on the life of the deceased while their daily life has become inseparable from Apple products. His private life has become a sustenance for reminiscence, a less vulgar curiosity. What the audience is happy to see, under the genius turtleneck sweater, is a failed father, a child who is brooding about the identity of an abandoned baby, and a leader who knows very little about people's hearts.

What is commendable is that Fassbender's portrayal of the role of Steve Jobs not only shows once again how a good actor can have many faces and a variety of voices, but his performance level that does not resemble the appearance of the show also makes the previous performance more attractive. A biopic that relies on makeup to win is dwarfed by it.

Praise Hollywood, Praise Jobs, Praise Sorkin, and Fassbender.
