Now all of this drama plays out over the course of these three acts, which themselves act as musical movements in a larger ensemble piece, with Jobs even quite egotistically remarking in the film that “Musicians play their instruments.

Thus by the time the movie ends what we are left with is a picture of a man who many may consider the “Da-Vinci of our time”, but who those who knew him best would describe as “complicated, complicated, complicated” It’s also a story about Chrisann Brennan(Katherine Waterston), the mother of Jobs’ first child Lisa (played by multiple actresses who all do terrific work) whom he initially denies quite emphatically as his own flesh and blood, Joanna Hoffman (a brilliant Kate Winslet), Jobs’ closest confidante who finds herself heartbroken by Jobs’ actions and just general attitude towards his family and everyone around him, Steve Wozniak (an absolutely amazing Seth Rogen) the other co-founder of Apple who simply just wants Jobs to take him seriously and treat him with the respect he, rather correctly I might add, feels he not only deserves but has earned, and John Scully (a wonderful to watch as always Jeff Daniels), the former Apple CEO who became like a father-figure to Jobs only to later find himself at odds with him and eventually have no choice but to oust Steve from his own company. Yet I feel that it should be said that this story isn’t just about Jobs.

Instead the film chooses to condense the action down to three acts that all consist of behind the scenes at product launches for the first Mac computer, the NeXT cube (following Jobs being ousted from Apple), and the iMac when Jobs got the chance to return to Apple respectively. The plot is as follows: taking its narrative from not only the real people that were involved in Steve Jobs’ life, but also the book by journalist Walter Isaacson, this film is unique in that it shies away from a traditional, sequential approach to the legendary and truly one of a kind man’s backstory and career. This is because thanks to an amazing script by script God Aaron Sorkin, a talented cast, and a unique way of looking at the man and his legacy we are also treated to undoubtedly the best look we have seen at this iconic figure yet and in the process might even begin to see him in a light never thought possible: that of a gifted man who nevertheless was still a man plain and simple.
Yet upon seeing this film I can safely say that out of all 3 this one is truly the Jobs film we not only wanted, but also the one we deserved to have of this truly iconic figure as well. The first was the Ashton Kutcher-starrer simply titled Jobs, the second was a documentary called Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine, and the third is the Danny Boyle-directed, Aaron Sorkin-scripted, and Michael Fassbender-starring film that I am reviewing right now. It’s hard to believe that in the span of two to three years, we as movie goers managed to receive three movies about celebrated Apple co-founder Steve Jobs.
