How would I describe a film about Steve Jobs? Inspiring, diabolical, in some sort of way, and brilliant. Steve Jobs was a genius and there is no doubt about it, and the fact the he founded a company in a garage is just amazing.
Though the film shows us a completely different side of Steve Jobs, or at least the side that I didn't know. If you think that you are going to just see a classical biographical film about Steve's life, you are very wrong.
Yes, there are parts of his life (obviously), yes you will find parts about Apple and his second company Next, but you will also find more about his unusual relationship with his first born daughter. All these details are wrapped into flashback sequences that are shown during the preparation of the launches of new computers (Macs especially) that were designed by Steve Jobs and see more details about what inspired him to design the computers in such a different way to the others.
On the other hand, you will see Steve Jobs as person, who didn't make compromises and who can deny, but rationally explain the "non-importance" of Apple 2, that was managed by his friend Steve Wozniak. The most diabolical part of the film is his planning of revenge against Apple, after he was fired from the company that he had actually founded.
Why is this film so special? Well, first of all, after you see it, you will really want to buy something from Apple, so the marketing works very well. Secondly, I like the way the film is made, without any long and sentimental pictures of Steve Job's life,but it goes directly to the main points, showing us his character and even "the worst night" of his life. I highly recommend this film, even if you are not a geek.
If you decide to go to the cinema and you get hungry afterwards, we know a good place to go. Have you been to Bierkeller? Probably the biggest pub/club in Cardiff, or one of the biggest. If not, you should definitely go. For more information check the link here: Bierkeller .
So my dear friends, enjoy!
