Lost interest in this after watching the Alex Gibney doc on Jobs and then finding out that pretty much every single important scene didn't actually happen.
Steve Jobs Movie vs. the True Story of Joanna Hoffman, Steve Jobs
Not that the movie needed to be historically accurate but I don't, I didn't see the point on watching the film.
Man, why am I only seeing this now? Sorkin's gonna Sorkin, yet some continue to want to claim him as their hero.

Saw the movie today btw, it was frankly nothing special. The whole "three events" structure was forced as hell what with the same six people having conversations all related to each other and actually limited the narrative severely, to the point that halfway through they started inserting awkward flashbacks during current conversations (watch two conversations unfold at the same time, brehs, it's fun!) to include those parts of the story that were really necessary to be included, but didn't fit into that whole "three events" structure that Sorkin was so desperately clinging too. And Sorkin is getting snarkier too because I counted three occasions where a character said some overwritten Sorkin-esque metaphor only to have the other character reply with
'I don't even know what that fukking means' or the even worse offender
'Sure, that sounds great and all but it means nothing!'. Because ha ha people, Sorkin dialog!
You could tell it in Boyle's direction too, outside of a handful scenes he was so limited in what he could do because it's all fukking dialog and no room. Fassbender was great, Daniels and Winslet did good but holy shyt, Rogen was bad. Like literally in his first scene where he wants to make some kind of allegory or metaphor but can't come up with one, you can literally see that he can't even pretend to be thinking about one. He just falls silent and emotes nothing. The girl who played Jobs' daughter at the end had some really eye-rolling moments too, by which I'm mainly referring to her overacted eye-rolls when arguing with her dad. Hallmark Channel level acting. Matter of fact, the whole third act was pretty much garbage with all the forced pay-offs. That fukking flashback about the restaurant conversation during the adoption conversation, like Daniels' character was suddenly supposed to remember that restaurant host he met one time fifteen years ago was Jobs' real dad, terrible. That whole fukking 'Oh, I'm gonna make that walkman obsolete' ass convo at the end, because ha ha people, iPod, you know! fukking terrible. Having to sit through a fukking five minute verbal sparring match between Fassbender, one of the best actors of today, and the guy who can't emote trying to think of something, fukking terrible (because of the latter obviously, Fassbender still great).
Completely make up "biographies" of people using a narrative structure that completely limits your storytelling possibilities and get hailed as one of the best writers in Hollywood because the plebs are too enamored by your whipper snapper dialog, brehs.
