Yeah, well. If one forgets that the movie is "based" on the life of Steve Jobs an Apple, the movie was middling good. For it to have been really biographical, it would have needed a lot more. Even if you leave out Pixar, which is a BIG mistake in a story about Steve Jobs, it brushed entirely over his personal life once we were 20ish minutes in. In a now you see it and now you don't way, personal things floated into and out of the picture in a disjointed, jarring way.
One thing the movie did manage to say is this: Becoming a public corporation can be the kiss of death for a company that stakes itself on innovation. Investors are not interested in innovation; only profits.
Stacey gave this a 3 but she is an apple fan. I gave it a 2 because I am not an apple fan.
Stacey suggested that the movie release timing might have been intended to give apple stock a bump. She says it was sinking after Steve died and went up again after the movie hit theaters.
People are fickle, superstitious, chimpanzees.
