CGiii Comment
A highly abridged story of Steve Jobs...and, if this is anything to go by, what a thoroughly unpleasant man.
To be regarded as a visionary...is it really necessary to be such a gigantic prick? Obviously, money talks and blinkers people...as to the true essence/nature of the man...he denied that he was the father to his first-born, threw out his pregnant girlfriend and ignored them - financially and physically - for years. What a visionary!!!
Billionaire pricks are lauded and applauded...this sloppy film will receive neither of those plaudits.
Has anyone heard the 'rumour' that gay-friendly Steve Jobs was gay??? Well, there's not a sniff of it here...in fact, there's not a sniff of anything...this is a run-of-the-mill, tedious biopic that should have been a mini-series rather than a truncated, full-blown feature.
Sloppy - from start to its bizarre end.
Trailer...
The(ir) Blurb...
While living with his adoptive parents, Jobs is working for 'Atari'. He then, develops a partnership with his friend Steve Wozniak when he sees that Wozniak has built a personal computer (the Apple I). They name their new company 'Apple Computer' and start building Apple I computers. After many failed attempts by Jobs to gain venture capital, Mike Markkula invests in the company which allows them to move forward.
