Did you listen to the podcast with Walt? It seems like you might be doing exactly what you are complaining about because what he says is not at all disrespectful to the film or to the filmmakers.
The cook reference was out of line . Yes I have.

Weird that you would subject yourself to over 4 hours of them then... was someone forcing you to watch them at gunpoint?? *sooooo confused*
When you add up the falsehoods in this movie, it goes beyond " artistic license" and into the realm of complete baloney.
Heck, Woz wasn't even at Apple during some of the scenes.
I liked the movie but as others have stated we needed iPod iPhone iPad then maybe all the haters would have stopped complaining as it would of showed Steve as he mellowed with age.
You not married then? ..... x2, then add another 50 Bucks for the flat-rate parking and the babysitterBecause everyone in the world doesn't love Steve Jobs like you? Or enough to pony up $14 for a movie ticket, plus another $20 for popcorn and a soda?.....![]()
One glaring abscense to the Silicon Valley listing is Camera Cinemas. They showed the hack Steve Jobs movie a few months ago but not this one having a more positive light. Hmm ...Pretty sure Steve Jobs didn't make the movie, is in the movie himself or is promoting the movie. So what difference would it make to the local art houses? I would imagine there are a lot of topics that the owners of art houses in Silicon Valley don't care for but still show movies about.
Just like there's very little reason to think this movie won't be on iTunes. Especially if it does well in the theater. Apple is a business. They aren't going to withhold this movie because they don't happen to think it captures their former leader well.
Same goes with healthcare.The lesson is give the customer what THEY WANT and NOT tell them what they want.
Because the movie isn't about Apple's rise.Wonder why none of these movies cover the iPhone and iPad launch. Especially the iPhone since it's the product that really shot Apple into the stratosphere
I'm sorry, would you rather me judge them without seeing them or watch a few of them and make an informed decision? There are 6 of them, I've seen two. Enough for me to form an opinion.
The soundtrack is on iTunes. Apple will allow it. They allowed the Ashton Kutcher version and the hatchet job documentary. CBS on the other hand won't allow ads for the Dan Rather movie called "Truth".Do we know if iTunes will carry this movie? (Did Tim say something about hell and it being cold?)
Otherwise I guess I can wait for a year until Netflix picks it up.
It's a 2 hour movie. The script is 180 pages, almost 70 pages longer than the average script because of the dialogue. If they would added the iPhone launch they would be headed into Lord of the Rings territory lengthwise.Wonder why none of these movies cover the iPhone and iPad launch.

A great actor can make you disbelieve physical appearance by filling your space with the personality of the character.Compared to the written biographies and previous films, I think the film did a better job of explaining Jobs' lack of empathy, problems with interpersonal relationships and narcisistic tendencies due to being rejected twice at birth.
While Fassbender did not look like him physically and should have had dark brown contacts, I think he had more energy than any of the other actors considered for the role. It is his energy that captivates you.
I'm not an Apple guy (to date) but I've been fascinated by Steve Jobs for quite some time. The impression I have of him is largely based upon hearsay acquired through short pieces in print or on radio. He was a taskmaster; he expected those around him to give their best effort both for their own sake, and thus by extension, the company; he disdained the typical corporate 'meeting'; etc..
Has there been a truthful book (or books) written about Steve Jobs? Is there a MacRumors community consensus (at least close to one) on this?
I have no plans to see this movie. It's difficult (not impossible) to extract the essence of a man for use in a movie's form factor. I don't expect a hagiography but do expect an honest effort towards as accurate a portrayal as is possible. If it can't be done in a movie's allotted length, it shouldn't be done at all.
I might not yet know the complete Steve Job's story but I get the sense this movie is tearing down just to tear down. I hope I'm wrong.
Yeah, cause Walt mossenberg is not bias.... Lol! He will say exactly what Cook wants to hear.
Maybe see the movie and make your own opinion? Otherwise go easy on bashing it?
Seems quite a number of people have enjoyed it.
I'll watch it and pass judgment afterwards.

Actually, if this does well enough, a sequel of Steve's later years covering the iPod, iPhone and his last product launch would be a great follow up. Lisa would be a young woman and Woz a full time phlantrophist.It's a 2 hour movie. The script is 180 pages, almost 70 pages longer than the average script because of the dialogue.

I enjoyed Walter Isaacson's "Steve Jobs", though many people felt it maligned Steve and focused primarily on his strong-willed business acumen.
