Steve Jobs (Michael Fassbender one) review

There is a dialogue in the movie which Jobs says to Wozniak. "How many of the fourth graders have heard of you?" Jobs says it in all its honesty without trying to sound like an arrogant guy while the dialogue is born out of the sheer arrogance inherent in his character. Aaron Sorkin wrote both Social Network and this Steve Jobs. But the way both the characters of Zuckerberg and Jobs were written with indifference sprinkled all over them yet create two different fabrics of human nature needs to be commended. Steve Jobs is not your regular movie. Some might even deny calling it a movie. It is three sequences in the life of Jobs, Apple's Macintosh release, NeXT computer release and finally the iMac release. These three sequences are effectively used to showcase a genius's travel from total disaster to a dictator of his world. Add to it his relationship with his daughter. In the end it becomes hard to love this guy and even harder to hate him. The movie depicts him as human as possible with all his flaws but also with his ingenious talent and never compromising attitude.

Most of the screen time is consumed by Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslet. You will be left in awe of these performances. Also the writing is impeccable. The subtle hints at the future where ever possible is just criminal, especially the dialogue about Newton's stylus.

A must watch for any techie or for anyone who is using a smart phone today, which is everyone. You owe it to this man and so watch it.

PS:Sorry about the last words, looks like the Jobs attitude rubbed off on to me.
