Here's to the crazy ones
The misfits. The rebels, the troublemakers
salute the crazy ones!
They go their own way, are unruly, and cause trouble and change the world.
Perhaps in the eyes of many fruit fans, Jobs, who was portrayed as a jerk in the film, is far from the established image in their hearts, but in my opinion, under the script written by Alan Sorkin, the paranoid image of stubborn words and swords But it is more three-dimensional and vivid, even convincing and fascinating. And the character image formed by the dialogue confrontation throughout the whole article can also be classified as a standard Alan Sorkin work with amazing speech speed, bickering and quarrelling, and swearing without swearing.
I haven't read the original book written by Walter Isaacson, but based on the dismal box office receipts and ongoing controversy (the widow of Cook and Jobs is said to have spoken out against the film), I reckon the adaptation is a big deal. , at least different from the traditional feature films that have been criticized for 13 years. Different from the chronological narrative in "The Social Network", it is more like the three major scenes in the theater. Through the narration and the jumping shots of the time shuttle, the three major life moments of Jobs are connected together: 1984 The advent of the first Mac computer and the battle for power with Apple 2, Jobs, who was kicked out of the game, opened NeXT to develop the product "Black Cube" and the iMac launch in 1998. Three press conferences, six supporting roles (first love Chris Ann, illegitimate daughter Lisa, publicity director Joanna, co-founder Wozniak, former CEO Sculley, and hapless engineer Andy) , nearly 10,000 fanatical fans, constitute such a biographical film. Be creative.
There are two memorable moments in the movie. One is in preparation for the press conference, and Jobs boasts two of the greatest events of the 20th century: one is the victory of the Allies, and the other is the release of the Macintosh personal computer. The actual sales performance Waterloo gave Jobs a heavy slap in the face, but his paranoia did not change, and the setbacks made a brilliant life.
The other is a song and dance theater under the stage of the press conference. There is an empty dance floor and a majestic symphony. Jobs and Wozniak quarreled fiercely. Regardless of needs, what role does it play. And Jobs's understatement: the musicians play the music, and I will direct the whole situation. All you have to do is play well in your position. It's so conceited that you can't do anything about it. Just like Apple's 1998 Think Different ad "Salute to those crazy people", they are born different, see the world in different ways and affect the world, we can hate but not ignore their existence.
The paranoid, mean and arrogant Steve Jobs had a "change" in his attitude towards his daughter. The appearance of his first love and his illegitimate daughter in the three press conferences, disrupting the situation and emotional entanglements not only affected Jobs' thoughts and judgment, but also The character shaping of the human side under the cold exterior plays a pivotal role. The slow progress of the plot gradually revealed the deep love that Jobs had for his daughter. "If you don't read it to me, I won't leave." "The whole world is waiting for you." The confidence is mixed with childishness, "I don't want you to put a brick-sized Walkman around your waist. I want a thousand songs. Put the song in your pocket" is as warm as love words. I can see that Steve's love for his daughter Lisa is not a transformation, but a deep end, from the naming of the personal computer Lisa, to the ranting of his first love, or to catching up on the rooftop and returning arm in arm. A strict father, but also a kind father.
Therefore, the extraordinary point of this film is different from the past, praise or growth, but more about shaping a person. Whether it is true or not can be reconsidered. Through harsh criticism of subordinates, scolding and scolding of lovers, confrontation with partners, arguing with each other, changing attitude towards daughter, and using long dialogues to create a distinct personality, good and bad Jobs image, but will The expansion of Apple's territory is an understatement, and the emphasis is on building people and establishing distinctive and interesting characters. So this movie is worth watching.
