What's unfortunate about a movie like this is it plays out like a biography to try and make us feel a certain way about a man instead of honing in on some of the incredible social accomplishments that were created from it. The story unfolds backstage at three iconic product launches, ending in 1998 with the unveiling of the iMac. What's great about a film like this is we get to see the abstract, yet monstrous genius of a man who only knew black or white. Steve Jobs takes us behind the scenes of the digital revolution, to paint a portrait of the man at its epicenter. But, to fault Sorkin a little, there is a lot of talking. Movie review: Steve Jobs (2015) In Aaron Sorkins eponymous film, Steve Jobs the man morphs from an intense jerk in a blazer to an intense jerk in a polo neck.
With Aaron Sorkin at the helm of the writers' table, we get some solid, witty and biting dialogue delivered by the acting crew with some wit and pizzazz. We essentially get a look-in at how Steve Jobs morphed from 1984 to 1988 to 1998, and while Fassbender executes subtle differences in each year, it mostly feels like the same repeat scene three different times. Michael Fassbender delivers an electrifying, Oscar(R)-nominated performance in this compelling portrait of. While it rightly deserves to be praised for the performance Michael Fassbender (most notably) and company put in over the course of two hours on screen, a few faults lie within the one note it seems to continuously strike through the three 'chapters' we get to see the tech giant live his life.
