Steve Jobs is such an iconic figure one wonders if any movie could do him justice. His reputation has been one of a control-freak megalomaniac. This movie does not portray that man, exactly. Michael Fassbender gives a strong performance as the man who is a true visionary. I was hoping to find out more about the development of the products, but instead, the film attempts to explore the relationships in his life. His assistant, Joanna Hoffman played by Kate Winslet, appears to the person closest to him. His relationship with co-creater of the Apple Computer, Wozniak, played by Seth Rogan, appears strained because they have different visions of what a computer should be. He is shown to have evolved during the course of the movie as his first denied daughter (with a woman he did not marry) is later welcomed into his life and shown to be an inspiration for his work. I'm left wondering how much of this was just for the sake of drama. So much else of his life was left out including his wife and other children who I'm sure influenced him as well.
