Perhaps his most rewarding confrontations are with the marketing manager (Kate Winslet – brilliant) who effectively doubles as his conscience. He’s too ripped to be believably geek in this early part, but his single-mindedness grows more convincing with every fast-paced line of dialogue.ĭuring the 30 minutes he spends obsessively trying to get his prototype to say ‘Hello’ during the keynote speech, Jobs denies being the father of his daughter and lights the verbal matches that will eventually burn his relationships with his boss (Jeff Daniels), his colleague (Michael Stuhlbarg) and his brainiac best friend, Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogen). Michael Fassbender plays Jobs like a coiled snake whose tail never stops rattling.
The first and most flawlessly scripted is set in 1984 during the half hour before the unveiling of the first Macintosh. The film divides into three acts, each set backstage before a product launch. But while director Danny Boyle tries to stay out of sight, he occasionally fails. Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin outdoes his work on ‘The Social Network’ with an even sharper and more savage script about a tech visionary whose genius threatens to corrupt his ethics. ‘Steve Jobs’ the film also suffers a little from split personality. He was also a megalomaniac who never let anything so wimpy as other people’s feelings stand in his way. Steve Jobs the man was an astonishingly successful genius.
