'Steve Jobs' review: Unconventional, entertaining, but incomplete<article>
<section class="page">
<p>
If you know enough about Steve Jobs, watching the new biopic
Steve Jobs without bias is almost impossible. You can’t help think about Apple event keynotes, anecdotes from books about the late Apple CEO, the devices you use or have used that were guided by his vision.</p><p>
But try to leave all of that aside and appreciate
Steve Jobs for what it is: entertainment. That’s where the movie succeeds, even as facts are fudged.</p><p>
Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin (of
The Social Network fame) constructed
Steve Jobs around three major product launches: the Macintosh in 1984, the 1988 introduction of NeXT’s computer, and Jobs’s triumphant return to Apple with the iMac in 1998. Those three acts take place over 15 years of personal and professional strife in Jobs’s life, and that limited timeline by nature omits the growth he experienced both as a leader and as a person. This is a movie about Steve Jobs that doesn’t include the launch of the iPhone, what some might consider his greatest achievement, or even a mention of his wife, Laurene Powell Jobs, and their three children together.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2990829/entertainment/steve-jobs-review-unconventional-entertaining-but-incomplete.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
