reject mediocrity

Rejecting mediocrity, the life of Gang Master Qiao was ups and downs, like a roller coaster. If Walter Isaacson helped us present J's life completely, then the short 2-hour movie is just a drastic reduction of the ups and downs in that life, the climax of the dramatic conflict.

In fact, for a moment, I felt that Ashton was really acting like J, especially in the few minutes of the iPod conference at the beginning, I seemed to see Joe's ambition to change the world. After that, I also liked the interweaving of light and shadow on the golden field. Whether it was a momentary epiphany or complete relaxation, Gang Master Qiao started his career of changing the world.

Then the next story the screenwriter gave us is 3 clips:
1. Flicking Watts, started their hard business in the garage
2. Getting investment from Mike, and then Apple went public
3. After the Lisa+Mac project, they were proposed to Apple

these 3 The clips should be very good entry points, but after reading the whole paragraph, only the word mediocrity is enough to express, there is no conflict between climaxes, and the conflict between characters is not handled well. In the end it was just a sloppy saying "you're changed..". If you say change, just change. It's completely unconvincing.

At the end of the film, the gang leader Joe returned to Apple and began to revive Apple. When he saw Jonathan, he was excited and thought he would continue a story about the iPhone. As a result, the director showed me the head portrait of the founder of Apple. Disappointed ( ⊙ o ⊙ ) ah!

Looking back on the whole film, I don't know if the director and screenwriter are too boring, or the life of Gang Leader Qiao is inherently boring, there is no bright spot, there is no shock of the roller coaster, and I don't see the attitude of rejecting mediocrity, pursuing perfection, and changing the world, only seeing That boring and lonely back.

    50% 3.5, 50% 2.5, but maybe the attraction comes from 1960s not the director
