Review of Steve Jobs

Thoughts before I watched this.
1. I wasn't going to watch anything besides horror or thrillers this month.
2. To pass the time until an event I wanted to go I ended up choosing this to watch.
3. I really did want to see this either way because it looked amazing.
4. The cast here is quite intriguing from Michael Fassbender to Seth Rogen (of all people).
5. Danny Boyle has yet to steer me in the wrong direction.
6. Aaron Sorkin is an excellent writer from what I've seen in Moneyball and The Social Network.
7. This is actually based on the biography by Walter Isaacson.
8. I liked JOBS, but I know this is going to be so much better.

"His passion and ingenuity have been the driving force behind the digital age. However his drive to revolutionize technology was sacrificial. Ultimately it affected his family life and possibly his health. In this revealing film we explore the trials and triumphs of a modern day genius, the late CEO of Apple inc. Steven Paul Jobs."

Thoughts while I watched this. (No particular order)
-Like all intellectuals seem to be Steve Jobs is quite the asshole.
-5 year old Lisa is so adorable aww!
-It needs to say Hello!
-How many times are they going to say it "needs to say Hello"?
-The way the say it though is kind of catchy.
-Katherine Waterston has this approachable look to her that makes me so attracted.
-Kate Winslet with a Polish accent is yummy.
-Michael Fassbender's Steve Jobs voice is on point.
-Jobs pretty much argues with anyone with an opposing view.
-I felt John Ortiz's talents were wasted here.
-Steve Jobs seems to be one step ahead of everyone else.
- I thought it was a unique way to tell a story where we saw only the interactions through three different product launches.
- Oh I remember using those kind of Macs in school!
- I really like Michael Stuhlbarg his characters are always bullied, but he plays them so well.
- Steve Jobs cusses quite a bit lol.
- I like the real time segmented feel to the film.
- It was cool that Seth Rogen wasn't the usual goofball he is.
- I like the little references made to future items that were made by apple.
- To see how his private life intertwined with his work life was definitely intriguing.
- Every jerk has some kind of sweetness to them even if it's practically unnoticeable.
- The ending was not what I was expecting.

Thoughts after I watched this.
1. This was loads better than the Ashton Kutcher version.
2. I did like that version as well though.
3. The acting is superb even with a comedic actor like Seth Rogen taking on seriousness.
4. The style is unique and fun.
5. It hadn't been exactly what I was expecting.
6. I liked the amusing little Easter Eggs to apple products.
7. Michael Fassbender is just amazing.
8. I guarantee that this will be nominated for several Oscars and may win some.
9. So with that said I highly recommend this one.
