  1. It's interesting that you didn't mention that brilliant moment of jobs thinking about a hardware question and at the same time we see tiny moments of his daughter as though she is haunting him. That would have been a really interesting point to bring up

  2. The film is a masterpiece

  3. Grace you are so sexy!

  4. I thought the film was mesmerising throughout (not just the first 15 minutes) and would thoroughly recommend it to anybody who can follow dialogue (I do not mean that in a disparaging way but as a teacher of pupils with Special Needs I know not everybody can – it's a genuine syndrome like dyslexia or dyscalculia and is not in anyway related to intelligence).
    As for Grace's remark about Kate Winslet's accent "it's supposed to be Polish" – no, it's supposed to be Polish-Armenian and the character lived in the USA for many years so the accent cannot be described as anything, really. I have a very broad Yorkshire accent but when I was at uni I was living among people from the rest of the UK and after a term I had picked up bits of Lancastrian, Hertfordshire and London. Winslet has said in interviews that the real Joanna Hoffman's accent was a bit of lots of different accents so copied that but toned down the pitch as the real JH's voice was rather high.

  5. I agree with your review, except i do think there a very clear arc.

  6. I wish Seth Rogen would do more movies like this. He was really great in the movie

  7. your reviews are getting worse and worse, thanks god i unsubbed.

  8. so cinema illiterate lol.

  9. Grace, regardless of what anyone's (including mine or your own included) thoughts are on this film, or on the life/importance/relevancy of Steve Jobs, it is evident that your analysis here is wonderfully and articulately explained. I've been a subscriber for a long while now, and I have never seen you give a review with this much depth; I loved it. This is why people critique art. You were able to open my eyes to new realizations and help me to put similar thoughts you and I had about the film/its structure into words. Thank you so much for that!

  10. She keeps rambling on the closed system part without actually understanding the technical meaning which is probably the movie's greatest flaw. From a technical standpoint, if the movie touched on the devious and ingeniousness of building apple products' closed system and it's relationship to the information companies of today, the audience might appreciate or even understand Steve's arc (he really had none… from a business standpoint).

    From the very first act, he said that there was the technology industry and there's going to be the information industry. (he literally predicted the prevalence of the internet at that moment.) so we then see the flash backs about him and wozniak arguing about 2 ports or 6 ports on Apple2. From a design standpoint, limited = usability (no one wants to configure each and every port, which is for a speaker? which is for a mic? etc.) But that's not all! limited = dependent consumers. With the exception of enthusiasts running hackintoshs and using VM to run MacOS, Apple OSs mostly run on technologies meaning Apple can spearhead in both the hardware and software industry (technology + information). He's cleverly ensnared a large consumer base into a system where Apple controls a majority of corresponding technology (Apple account, iTune, App Store, etc.) More control = more money.

    Steve makes the analogy of himself being the conductor, but I believe an even better analogy would be a chess master. In his second act, <spoiler>he played Apple executives like a fiddle</spoiler>, over all three acts he's been the chess master, the dungeon master, conductor, etc. There wasn't a concrete link between the acts because it didn't need one. The three acts are one and the same, same characters, same devious vision, different strategies. Attempts 1, 2, and 3. understanding closed system would solidify this idea, since he's been pushing for world dominance since act 1 (he calls it universe shaking, the most significant event of the 20th century, etc.)

  11. Everything is wrong with this movie starting from middle aged Fastbender as the young Steve…Fucking hell man, what were they thinking.

  12. It was better than jobs

  13. I loved steve jobs!

  14. So, she says man up and that Sorkin is going to tell it like it is. Sorkin does tell it how it really was as far as Jobs was as a person, and she says it doesn't work.

  15. Obviously I'm in the minority here, I like all types of movies. But this movie simply bored me to death!

  16. I actually found Jeff Daniels' performance in Steve Jobs to be miles ahead of his performance in The Martian. The man is an expert at delivering Sorkin's dialogue naturally and convincingly, and I found his time-hopping (present and past) conflict with Jobs in the middle of the movie to be nothing short of phenomenal.

  17. I think Grace is a little naive here by saying that steve jobs' legacy is being trashed. many psychological analysts have done several studies and all have come to the same conclusion, that very successful businessmen in general are borderline psychopathic and/or psychotic. I'm sure steve jobs was a tyrant, the thing about his defenders is that they simply understood his madness and appreciated it. I don't believe for a second that steve jobs wouldn't run you over if you got in his way, I mean you can look up videos on YouTube where he all but belittled people when things didn't go right at apple events. he was very tactful, cunning, manipulative but most of all very intelligent.

  18. steve jobs did NOT start Pixar, he simply turned into their primary investor and took it over.

  19. I was blown away by this movie and think it might be the best movie I have seen in years so I disagree with you but your complaints, while I don't agree, I could make sense of them.

  20. I hate this bitch I can't quite put my finger on exactly why but I think it may be her voice, eyes, hair, and face. Why does her reviews get views.

  21. I very much disagree, this film is tremendous!! And I highly doubt it'll hurt Jobs legacy as, we still have undying loyalty to his products knowing good and well who was responsible for them. This film is about a father daughter relationship, not his contribution to history. I'm not interested in seeing a movie I can see in a history book, I want to see a story about human connection, and all that ups and downs that come with it, showing the man beyond the magician is what makes this movie so captivating.

  22. I don't think it's fair to compare it to Mommy Dearest since there is a big difference between being a deadbeat/neglectful dad and an abusive one.

  23. +Beyond the Trailer Hey Grace, fyi, Zero Dark Thirty was from Sony NOT Universal. 🙂

  24. What  a great review. Do you think that Steve Jobs got his ideas from the community in the same way that the film industry gets its ideas? 😉

  25. I don't think Jobs' wife and daughter re-wrote his "code" or whatever he's supposed to be. It is a widely-known fact that Steve Jobs was an asshole and there are plenty of records of those relationships as written by Sorkin. Obviously he was going to write about that, it's the most interesting and personal aspect of his life in my opinion. Everybody already knows of his success and his genius in product launching. I'm happy with what I got.. enough of sugar coated biopics with lifetime channel sensitivities!

  26. God, Grace is the worst.

  27. I was always a big fan of Steve Jobs. Sure, he was a flawed man, but who isn't. His life was so incredibly interesting troughout, and weirdly enough mirrored the "The Hero's Journey" in many aspects. So it's kinda annoying that they make a movie called "Steve Jobs" and again focus on his alleged tyranic nature, wich has been more than coverd in the media at this point, and in no way captures what made him become such a business legend. I personally was always most intrigued by the time he spend in exile and how different he ended up handling Pixar in contrast to Apple prior, his transformation from visionairy to business leader. I think if you ignore this chapter (like Kutcher's jOBS and Pirates of Silicon Valley did aswell) you still end up with a changed Steve Jobs at the beginning of his second time at Apple, but simply without context to how this occured. The fact that they already made 3 movies about this guy and each time cut out the part of his life in wich he helped to revolutionize the movie industry is incredible all on it's own.

  28. What did you think of Seth Rogen in the movie?

  29. I was initially looking forward to this film when David Fincher was rumored to direct it. He just has a way of visually captivating a story in a compelling way. Although I'll still watch the film given the positive reviews it's getting.
