Jobs, the movie

I am watching the 2013 movie Jobs with Ashton Kutcher I found on Netflix

It is listed on imdb at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2357129/?ref_=nv_sr_1

I know such biographies abound, but I find this one less boring than most documentaries.

Just thought I share …

Michel that movie was excellent.

I wanted to like the movie, and Kutcher did look and sound rather like Jobs, but I thought the whole thing was put together in an amateur fashion. It was as if someone had made a list of 100 things (anecdotes, quotes etc) that just had to be squeezed in to any movie about Jobs. It needed an editor and someone else to play Woz.

Maybe. Well, in a cinema landscape where gore and murders are everywhere along with people having a cretin IQ, sometimes the Jobs story is quite refreshing…

For sure. I was looking forward to the Aaron Sorkin movie about Jobs (from Sony) but last I heard, they were struggling to find someone to play Jobs?

Long shadow …

I also enjoyed the movie a lot.

If you enjoyed the Jobs movie you might also like “Pirates of Silicon Valley”. It is a movie about the rivalry between Microsoft and Apple.

Found it. Thank you :slight_smile:

There’s an old PBS series, Triumph of the Nerds - it was made when Apple was in its death throes, before Jobs returned. It’s fascinating, I think, I’ve watched it several times over the years.

Yes, I agree.
But I read somewhere Sony Entertainment has the full right to make a ‘full biography’ movie. Which will be made later next year.

Cool, will see if I can find it.

Well said Mr Bujardet. Fancy hollywood making a movie that didnt rely on guns, explosions, murdering or some inane conspiracy theory.
Maybe we are seeing an outbreak of realism.
