While none of these two actors look much like Jobs ( especially Caprio ), I can understand why they were chosen by Fincher and Boyle. To play Jobs, you need someone who can be both very charismatic and charming, and psychotic and neurotic , in turn or at the same time. Both aspects of Jobs were legendary, his "reality distortion field" charisma as much as his angry tantrums that scare the **** of everyone who pisses him off.
Both Bale and Caprio can pull these off. Although my personal choice would be Bale.
As the for directors, I would prefer Fincher , for the near miracle he accomplished with such a seemingly dull subject as "The Social Network", and his mastery of tension, but Boyle can be visually dazzling, as much as Fincher.
