As I told you yesterday, I had the opportunity to attend the press screening of the film Steve Jobs. The man who changed the world, JOBS being its international name. As I have already told you in several articles, abroad the opinions about the film were divided, some criticizing, others praising the performances of the actors, but also of the directors. The film had a not-so-great start in US cinemas, the receipts obtained in the first weekend being below the expectations of the producers, but it remains to be seen how it will fare internationally.
Well, we talked about others, now let's move on to what I saw yesterday and what you will see in the following days if you choose to go to the movie. Steve Jobs. The man who changed the world it is not a detailed presentation of the life of Steve Jobs, it is a summary of some important moments in the life of the former CEO. Although you will see throughout the film an evolution of Steve Jobs from the impulsive young man eager for glory and willing to do anything for it, the scenes presented in the film only tell part of the story, a part from which the central elements are missing.
You will see the great achievements of Steve Jobs, his great failure with Lisa and Macintosh, his departure from the Apple company, his return, but you will not see the moment when he managed to "steal" the mouse from Xerox, the moments when he made the decision to found Next, to take over Pixar, or the moment when he was saved by Bill Gates. The summary is presented of the moment when Microsoft stole the Lisa/Macintosh user interface, but you will find out more details about the moment when Steve Jobs decided to disown his daughter and leave his girlfriend, and here I think the focus was thought wrong .

Basically, the directors chose to put a lot of emphasis on the presentation of the unknown side of Steve Jobs, the side that helps him bring out the best in people, but dehumanizes him and you will see throughout the film many moments in which Jobs is completely different from the one you knew from conferences or images. To be honest, I would have liked to see more scenes in which the creative side of Jobs was presented, the famous meetings where he convinced his partners to accept his requests, and I would have liked to have at least reached the release the iPod, but it wasn't like that.
As far as the actors are concerned, I can say that only in the case of Jony Ive, I didn't see a resemblance to the person who plays the current important designer of Apple, the rest getting into their roles quite well. Ashton Kutcher has an oscillating interpretation of Jobs, managing to represent the former CEO very well in certain moments, but in others his interpretation was far from expectations and maybe it's normal to be like that, considering that he received the mission of to personalize one of the most oscillating and intriguing people on the planet. Leaving Kutcher aside, the rest of the characters got into their roles very well, but most of them matter very little in this plot.
Making a conclusion, the movie Steve Jobs. The man who changed the world it's worth watching if you want to see some important moments from Jobs' life on screen and want to see a hidden side of him. The film is playing at the Hollywood Multiplex cinemas, you can buy tickets available here, and in this article you can win some invitations to the movie.
