Steve Jobs: Not the Ashton Kutcher Version

Steve Jobs attempts to tell the complicated tale of Steve Jobs' life through three different product launches for the Macintosh (1984?), The Cube (1988?), and the imac (1999). A good script from Aaron Sorkin and superb acting from Fassbender, Daniels, Rogan, and Winslet help carry the story. It deals a lot with his very complex relationship between his daughter, who he denies for several years, his baby mama, and his employees/coworkers, etc. The relationship between "Woz" (engineering genius Steve Wozniack) is interesting and complex. Daniels plays former Pepsi CEO and the Apple CEO who gets Jobs ousted John Sculley. Winslet and Fassbender's back and forth is superb. I think they should've pushed for more film dealing with his later years. I would've liked an ipod release, or something for his last 15 years. There is plenty to cover in Steve Jobs life, but I wanted more of the redemption story and the push to make Apple a giant again. Bottom Line: 8.2 out of 10. I'm a sucker for great acting and Aaron Sorkin's writing. I would again mention this will be out on video soon and that's totally fine to catch it when it's cheap or free. I do think Fassbender will get a nomination in another loaded Best Actor field. Dicaprio in the Revenant will be another seeming surefire nomination on top of Fassbender, Gyllenhall, another Eddie Redmayne Oscar-bait role in the Danish Girl, and who knows who else will fill the card.
