Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is this film about?
Q: Is this film based on a book?
"Steve Jobs" (2015) is an superbly acted and amazingly written picture, two great things that makes this movie in which not much actually happens a real joy to watch and to listen to. To be honest i'm not a fan of Steve Jobs, i barely knew his biography. That said i wasn't really looking forward for this movie, i actually even didn't really wanted to see it in the first place. Glad i did, because in the first place this is not a straightforward biopic - there are only few some segments from his life that are shown in this movie, it is more of "right here right now" stuff of biopic, it shows you man's portrait on the outside, not much of the inside. But as acting and writing goes, this is a top notch experience.
Overall, the great Aaron Sorkin, always superb Michael Fassbender and one of the kind Kate Winslet shines in this movie. No surprise Kate Winslet won Goden Globe for this movie, she steals every scene in this movie (before 1998 segment in my opinion). This is very good movie in which nothing really that happens, and yet because of once again the writing and acting you are glued to your screen during the whole time.
