À propos de ce film

Academy Award®-winning director Alex Gibney [Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief] pulls no punches in his portrait of Apple founder Steve Jobs and his legacy. This probing and unflinching look at the life and aftermath of the bold, brilliant and at times ruthless iconoclast explores what accounted for the grief of so many when he died.

Notes et avis

Don't quite know what he "invented" in his garage but its quite clear that it was a stolen technology. I guess I'm just tired of seeing the same junk pushed as new year in and year out. Or, lets borrow someone else's concept and put a half eaten apple on it and call it new.

I wanna start by saying , first, that this doc has great importance (as much as we're saturated by this postumous Job worship and movies to testify to this) and it should have great bearing! In a nutshell I WONT SAY that being a "good" person should be qualified as more beneficial or in a positive light , as thus the converse is true of a "bad" person. This is important to keep in mind when you factor in the data revealed in this doc. Me personally I feel being "good" is sacrasanct and a good person never waivers and in that one puts theyre ego aside for the advancement of their community, thier species mates , thier environment. Based soley on this criteria I have zero problem labeling Steve Jobs as a MONSTER and a heinous human who is not deserving our praise. I realize this is harsh and that many will take issue with this, and again I state that I cannot in good faith say that a monster should hold the qualification of being a negative force in the universe. These are just my views and Its my personal wish some might take heed and learn or even just SEE what is trying to be imparted to you through this film. ~J shellow

Even though they left too many things dangling, IMHO: like how Jobs' blue box piracy early on is never fully explored for its hypocritical parallels to later Jobs and "pirates." It never even tackles his alleged "thefts" of others' ideas. It never touched on the war with Android ("I'll bankrupt Apple if I have to...") but that ties back in to the hypocrite-pirate narrative, I guess. Still, they cover so many things, that they would've needed at least another hour for all that. Must see for any nerd/geek!
