Steve Jobs was by all accounts a complicated man. Apple’s cofounder and former CEO was a technology genius who didn’t code and a visionary leader who commanded great respect from his employees despite a volatile temper. These traits have all been described in biographies, one of which Jobs authorized while he was alive, and in films, like the one opening this Friday in select cities.</p><p>
Steve Jobs is the latest movie about the late icon. Penned by
The Social Network screenwriter Aaron Sorkin and directed by
Slumdog Millionaire Academy Award winner Danny Boyle, the film is based on Walter Isaacson’s biography of the same name. Jobs collaborated with Isaacson on the book before his death, but its depiction of the late CEO was considered by many to be less-than-kind. People who were close to Jobs have leveled the same criticism against this film that they lobbed at Isaacson’s biography, claiming that these portraits of Jobs paint him in a cruel light. Jobs’s widow, Laurene Powell Jobs,
reportedly tried to block the film from being made at all.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2989666/entertainment/aaron-sorkin-and-danny-boyle-on-the-controversy-over-steve-jobs.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
