For more than a year we have been talking about the latest movie that wants to reflect various stages in the life of Steve Jobs. The first film starring Ashton Kutcher passed almost without pain or glory on the cinema screens. Despite the failure of the first film about the figure of Jobs, the production company Sony insisted on comparing the rights to the official biography of Jobs written by Aaron Soorkin. After turning the project around for almost a year, he gave up and sold the rights to Universal Studios, which quickly began recording.
Despite grossing just $ 10 million, and costing $ 30 million, not counting the cost of buying the rights from Sony, which amounted to another $ 30 million, the film has received good reviews from the industry. And as proof of it the movie Steve Jobs has been nominated for four golden globes. The role of Steve Jobs is played by Michael Fassbender while Kate Winslet is in charge of playing Joanna Hoffman, from the Macintosh marketing department at the time. The role of Steve Wozniak is played by Seth Roger, star of the film The Interview where the figure of the president of North Korea is satirized.
Tomorrow, New Year's Day, it will reach many theaters in Spain, but taking into account the poor reception it has had in its own country, it may be difficult to find the room where it will be screened, if we live in a town with a small number of cinemas. Steve Jobs, lasts 122 minutes in which the presentations of the three most important products are represented of the founder of the Apple company with Steve Wozniak.
I just came from the cinema to see the film and the 3 people who have seen it have agreed that we did not like it at all.
Namely;
The character is not worked or characterized, does not gesture or remember Jobs, as in the previous one.
The succession of events occurs between presentation and presentation (Keynote) not focusing, neither on the product, nor on the company nor on personal life, it intertwines and does not deepen ... I really did not like anything (I lie, Kate Winslet stellar)
Leave both of Jobs, the best movie there has been is Pirates of Silicon Valley created in 1999, it comes out both the beginning of Steve Jobs and Wozniak and the beginning of Bill Gates in the computer industry, I recommend it.
It gives a thousand turns to what they are doing now.
