we got 45 seconds I want to use it to ask you a question why do people who were adopted feel like they were rejected instead of selected I don't feel rejected you're sure very sure Apple co-founder Steve Jobs was a complex man and the new film from Danny Boyle and Aaron Sorkin explores the personal cost of being the technology visionary who helped shape the world we live in today the movie is definitely not a straight biopic instead is divided into three acts each set backstage just before an important product launch as jobs meets with key figures in his life including co-founder Steve Wozniak and the man who ousted jobs from Apple John Sculley it's an interesting approach that helps the film stand out from previous jobs biopics and the many books written about him but it does see writer aaron sorkin take a lot of liberties with actual events and people all the conversations are totally imaginary illustrating aspects of jobs is life and personality in completely dramatized form it's more like a play in which jobs is repeatedly visited by the ghosts of Christmas past present and future the three acts are marked with clever use of subtly different music and even different film while director danny boyle keeps things focused on the actors and the dialogue it's pure Sorkin filled with the trademark quickfire banta throwaway technical information and witty quips familiar from the west wing the social network and the newsroom in the lead role Fassbender doesn't deliver a spot-on impression of jobs but does give an intense performance while Kate Winslet stands out as Joanna Hoffman the Apple staffer with the unenviable responsibility of managing jobs both professionally and personally at the heart of the film is job's relationship with Lisa the daughter he at first denied shining a light on the lesson pathetic aspect of his character Jobs was definitely a complicated and paradoxical figure and a hard man to understand if you want the facts read a book but if you want a witty and dramatic interpretation of this divisive figure the movie Steve Jobs approaches the Apple su primo from a very different angle the movie opens in the US on the twenty-third of October and in the UK on the 13th of November check out cnet com for more you
