the movie was awful. i watched it and had less idea who steve jobs was at the end than i did before i watched it. there was no insight whatsoever into why he did any of the things he did.

being a creative person, tho, i recognized the slurs that tend to get thrown around about people like us. not to say that i am in his league. just to say that people who are driven by ideas are rarely understood by "normal" people.

I can understand the "It didn't capture the person" comment from Tim Cook ... Auggie Mar 2015 #3

If you are referring to the 2013 movie "Jobs" it apparently had nothing to do with Isaacson's book. PoliticAverse Mar 2015 #4
