The anticipation and curiosity for this film from fans of Apple was equal only to that felt just moments before the presentation of a new product. Talking about the character that has made the history of computing in recent decades is always difficult, because you are likely to forget something or someone upset , that's why first of all you have to admire the courage of the director Joshua Michael Stern struggling with his first real film , however this does not justify having transformed a film from the tremendous potential in a simple for-TV movie .
The scene opens with a young Steve Jobs, masterfully played by Ashton Kutcher , struggling with a university system too far below his expectations within which fails to express his creative genius . This continues his desire for knowledge led him also to make use of hallucinogenic substances together with the partners of the moment and to his friend as a way to find that "something more " . The only course that can stimulate his imagination is that of calligraphy , a discipline that will help him develop a passion for beauty combined usefulness and fine attention to detail graphic and beyond. The University was standing too close and decided to leave because they believed that the springboard for his life . And he was right .
The film delves once in his career information at a glance telling his past initial Atari , where he managed to develop a video game using his friendship with Steve Wozniak , and manages to be hunting for this difference of opinion with the then president. This brief experience led him to stay in close contact with Wozniak and in this period he was fascinated by his friend who is developing , in his spare time , a graphics card capable of communicating with the TV screen .
Thus begins the true story of Apple , where the young Steve Jobs, thanks to its charm and its entrepreneurial skills , is able to transform a small startup founded in a garage in a multinational publicly traded with revenues mind-boggling. At this stage we are witnessing the transformation of the character as a young dreamer to entrepreneur with no time for friends, almost immediately relegated to minor roles and arrogance for the family.
At this stage of the film you feel the lack of precision of the director, relegating to the background the figure of Steve Wozniak, when in fact it has been for years the link between the demands imaginative and creative Jobs and practicality of selling a car perfectly working from the technical point of view . Other aspects that should be explored are definitely better : the trip to India , from which Steve came back changed , the non- paternity against his daughter Lisa , the controversy with Microsoft's Bill Gates in the film relegated to a single phone call and finally the period when, out of the Apple family , he founded NeXT and bought Pixar . Not certain episodes of little consequence. The time film are important, but we felt it was the least strange little attention in the telling of these episodes.
The film ends with a Jobs more mature , thoughtful and capable of distinguishing the real priorities of life, reconnecting with his family and with his beloved creature Apple. Very little was enough to make this film memorable , the premises were there , a perfect replica of Steve Jobs (Ashton Kutcher ) and a good story to tell, unfortunately, the expectations have been disregarded making it just a simple movie , ghost of what could become ...
