Steve Jobs

"Steve Jobs" is a highly intriguing film about the psyche of Steve Jobs, creator of Apple.
It shows how he is successful as the CEO of apple, but unsuccessful as a friend, and even a father.
Steve Wozniac, one of his only true friends, tells him, "You can be a winner and a decent human being at the same time. It doesn't have to be binary." But Jobs then points out that Wozniac and his Apple 2 buddies are B-grade players, and he wants to surround himself with A-grade players.
This raises the million dollar question: Did Steve Jobs have to be an anti-social neurotic prick to become so successful?
Although the movie doesn't answer this question, it shows Jobs' journey from being nonchalant and "controlled" about relationships, to becoming more aware about the power certain relationships have over him, such as the one between him and his daughter. He gets extremely upset for example, when he finds out that one of his junior engineers pays for her semester at Harvard.

I took away from this film that Jobs is selfish and highly goal oriented, but he realizes that he has to pay attention to certain relationships in order to be happy and at peace.

That being said, I would highly recommend watching this film. The acting is incredible (especially by Kate Winslet who plays the head of marketing for Apple, and Jobs' main confidante).

I would  highly recommend this movie to those who want a psychological sketch of Steve Jobs, but not to those who are interested in learning about Apple as a company.
