"Steve Jobs" (2015) Directed by Danny Boyle
“We blow this and IBM will own the next 50 years like a Batman villain”.
Based on the biography “Steve Jobs” by Walter Isaacson (highly recommended) and excellently adapted for the screen with yet another effervescent screenplay by Aaron Sorkin (A Few Good Men, Moneyball and A Social Network), one word perfectly encapsulates this wonderful film from Danny Boyle — control. The picture painted on screen, from his earliest memories and formative years as an orphan is of Steve Jobs craving control of every possible event and outcome and this becomes immediately evident as soon as the film introduces him as the epicentre of the launch of the Apple Macintosh Computer in 1984.
The film as a whole follows a traditional three Act structure but the movie itself is anything but traditional, commencing with Black and White Television stock footage of Arthur C Clarke surrounded by huge computers in a “Computer Room” as he describes a vision of the future and “computers in every home”, with the film climaxing 14 years later in 1998 and Steve Jobs taking to the stage at the launch of the iMac Computer against the backdrop of a huge screen with images of Arthur C Clarke, Albert Einstein, Muhammad Ali, Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Alan Turing and lastly, Pablo Picasso.
