The movie is about Steve Jobs and how he build the famous brand that we know these days under the name of Apple. I already knew a bit about Steve Jobs from books and from interviews that I watched on youtube, I haven't met him personally of course :) but from what people said about him he was someone who was a not so nice boss and a person who was very mean and disrespectful to other people. I think they showed this character trait pretty well in the movie, I was actually expecting that they would only show him from his nice side and kinda glorifying him which they actually didn't and surprised me in a positive way. Even if he was a visionary we shouldn't forget how he treated his fellow human beings.
I was always wondering how Steve Jobs became so famous, yes he had some great ideas, but let's be honest he didn't write any single program himself, he didn't build anything himself, he actually didn't do anything at all himself, the only thing he was good at was being a businessman that knew how to sell things and even for this he needed a professional sales manager. Even the idea and the first apple was built and invented all alone by Steve Wozniak, Jobs didn't do anything besides putting it on the market. The real credits for me get all these people behind Jobs that made these things actually happening and not him.
The movie itself was yea kinda ok, I wouldn't watch it a second time for sure. I wish they would have showed more of his personal life, how he grew up, his family, his friends and so on, who he was as a person. The movie is actually only about how he built his company and that's it which I already knew from books.
