Film critic: "jOBS" better than "Steve Jobs"?
Who was Steve Jobs? How was Apple established? What people were involved in inventions like the Apple Macintosh? Long before director Danny Boyle ("127 Hours") and author Aaron Sorkin ("The Social Network") whose biopic "Steve Jobs" comes to theaters on November 12, 2017, filmmaker Joshua Michael Stern has already tried to answer all these questions and
JOBS - Official trailer (2014) Steve Jobs
His film "jOBS" traces the life of former Apple CEO Steve Jobs by selected stations. As the strip with Ashton Kutcher has long been available on Blu-ray and DVD, as well as on various streaming providers, "jOBS" is the home cinema alternative to "Steve Jobs" Br>
Ashton Kutcher is Steve Jobs
In fact, the most important turning points are in "jOBS": we see jobs as a goalless student, see the start-up period with Steve Wozniak in the parental garage and live the power struggle at the top of the company. We can guess that Steve Jobs was quite a difficult character and not just the technology genius and the media lover that most people saw in him last.
Applenet 1 scores more than $ 500,000
To this extent, at least the approach to these figures has been so decisive for several sectors. But the scenic narrative of the biographics reveals details and draws the turbulent corporate history around the charismatic Apple CEO rather as a sketch, as a comprehensive overall portrait.
The announcement that Ashton Kutcher was supposed to play Steve Jobs was not just a source of surprise for film critics. After all, Kutcher was known to date with comedic roles like those of the stupid Michael Kelso in "The Wild Seventies!". But the cast is clearly the ace in the sleeve of director Joshua Michael Stern ("Swing Vote - The Best Choice"). His underrated main actor sees jobs not only amazingly similar - which could still be attributed to masks and costume designers - he has also copied the facial expressions and gestures of the Apple founder down to the last detail and mimics him almost perfectly.
This star seems all too aware of Stern, which is why he opens his film with a very credible re-design of the now legendary Apple-Event 2001, where Jobs introduces the MP3-Player iPod for the first time. Such scenes are powerful and inspire enthusiasm for the main character.
At all, the film is strongest if it remains faithful to the true events. Where poetry and interpretation begin, the script is lacking in polished dialogues and the production of Verve. The factual, sober design is predominant in the straightforward design of the Apple products. Drama and suspense remain rare. Thus, the film has acted as a docudrama, in which the documentation and interview excerpts were simply forgotten. A change to the explanations of the witnesses and the experts would have given the chosen momentary impressions more meaningfulness and filled important vacancies.
If you are only interested in the Apple founding history and the person Steve Jobs, can set a good foundation with the entertaining sequence of scenes of "jOBS". Whoever, however, expects a witty Oscar candidate a la "The Social Network", should be disappointed as well as the spectators who want to know the myth Steve Jobs completely deprived. It remains to be seen whether "Social Network" writer and Oscar winner Aaron Sorkin, together with director Danny Boyle and main actor Michael Fassbender ("X-Men: First Decision") can get more from the same template Br>
If you do not want to wait for the new biopic, the "jOBS" will give you interesting information in an entertaining 128 minutes.
"JOBS" highlights interesting snapshots from the life of Steve Jobs, which will make you curious about the company's history.
Docudrama without Docu
By the way, the makers of "iSteve" chose a rather parodistic approach. For the web-exclusive production, actors Justin Long ("Stirb slowly 4.0") slipped into the role of Steve Jobs. With a running time of 78 minutes, the joke of the Internet portal Funny or Die is a bit too long, but it is worth a look.
