Godlike Jobs

I see some people questioning whether the personality of Jobs in this show is very different from the real person. I think if you read his official biography and the biography "iCon: Steve Jobs" written earlier by someone else (he doesn't approve of himself), the audience will recognize the real Jobs as much as I do.

Compared with the previous film "Jobs", this film is very similar. Through the conflicting dialogues in several scenes before these conferences, it vividly outlines such a professional genius, and his human nature as a person. Huge contrast. And the performance of the French Shark is much better than the similar Ashton Kutcher. Ashton Kutcher's version of the movie Jobs is a running account, and the essence is not shown. And the film has some scenes taken from the biography, and the script is a good reflection of such a magically contradictory Apple genius, and those important moments in his career are also pointed.

I have a good friend who is a computer whiz with a high IQ and an Apple fanatic. I only got my first Apple iPod gift in late 2005, and I only got my hands on Apple Computer in 2006. The beauty of this iPod amazed me, and my friend told me why he thinks the Apple computer is good, the shape, the use, the innovation of the concept, just like Jobs said, it is simple, practical and beautiful. My friend's predictions about the development of computers and cell phones are all right now. So Jobs in my heart in 2006 was a hero icon.

The idol image was broken when I read the original English book "iCon: Steve Jobs" around 2006-2007. I just found out how bad a genius he is as a human being. His meanness to employees and previous collaborators, his denial to having to accept that of his first daughter, Lisa, an incompetent father. His personality is split and flawed, and if he were an ordinary person, I don't think anyone would be friends with him. But it is such a man, his zeal for Apple and his dedication to his own business, his extreme demands for perfection, his genius, who have created Apple's products and innovative ideas. As he said his role is conductor, and woz can only make circuit boards and so on. The change in his personality came after he returned to Apple, and from his speeches at the 2008-2009 product launch, you could notice him mentioning thanks to the collaborators working behind the scenes. Maybe the setbacks in life and the growing age have made him more rounded in personality.
His character is not fake at all. He is so stubborn. When he was discovered pancreatic cancer, it was still in the early stage. If he had followed the advice of experts for surgery and chemotherapy, instead of stubbornly believing in conservative natural remedies, he might still be alive now.

Let's go too far, this movie is really good in my eyes, the screenwriter just selected a few scenes and plots, plus the wonderful performances of the actors, a vivid and fleshy imperfect Apple genius - Jobs.

    I think there is hope for Xiao Lizi. I haven't seen any acting skills of Fa Shark. A lot of dialogue requires a good understanding of Jobs to get the main points. The entire film is built on the audience's admiration for Jobs, but what about people who don't like Jobs at all? Watching this movie just feels unreasonable...

    People who don't like this movie, congratulations you are not crazy, but unfortunately you can't be a genius either.
