Jobs 2013


Jobs


     This film focuses on Steve Jobs from his college years to his early 40’s.  Steve had a tremendous drive and will power that focused on making the best products possible at any cost.  Financial, manpower and personal costs did not matter.  He doesn’t seem to have much compassion for his fellow man and he makes ruthless decisions regarding both friends and foe.  The lesson is to not mess with Jobs or his products.  There is a one-sided screaming match on the phone with Bill Gates over product theft.  The board of Apple removed Jobs from the company but he was able to come back on his own terms when stock prices started to tank.
     I don’t know the accuracy of the portrayals and the storyline of the characters in this film?  True or false, one fact is undeniable, Jobs changed the world with his ideas and innovations.  This is interesting with a lot of details I didn’t previously know.  3* (This movie is OK)

128 min, Bio directed by Joshua Michael Stern with Aston Kutcher, Dermot Mulroney, Josh Gad, Lukas Haas, Matthew Modine, J.K. Simmons, Lesley Ann Warren, Ron Eldard.

Note:  Imdb 5.9 out of 10, 27% critic 41% audi
ence on Rotten Tomatoes, Roger Ebert 2*.
