Although there is absolutely nothing "cinematic" about this film, I liked it way more than six stars; I was bowing to my rule of not over- rating (since I generally only rate films that I think were worthy of 8 or higher, because I rarely waste the time watching dogs!).
How could there be a spoiler on this? He's dead; his life is a matter of public record and history. JUST AMAZING that this interview was located. It truly shows what a fascinating and dynamic fellow Jobs was. I have always admired him. I work in the computer field -- have done for 27 years -- so I am not just blowing smoke here.
There's a story (there are so many) about Bill Gates and Steve Jobs. There's also a film, depicting their mutual relationship when they were young, the name of which I can't recall. (unwilling to do the research right now) I started in 1984 or '86 working with computers, and started a business; I recognized that the money lay with the 88% (usually higher) of PC users; I built PCs from parts and taught people how to use them. It was a big business back in the late 80s and early 90s and I did very well. I have that master rip-off artist, Bill Gates, to thank for that. Steve Jobs was highly original. One only has to watch the major-production commercials he made for the Apple/Mac, using top directors and state-of-the-art graphics, to GET that he was about perfection and elegance. I DON'T have a Mac, but whenever clients asked me which they should buy, I would say, well, the Mac is better, if you can afford it. 9.9 times out of 10...well, what I can I say? Their market share was almost always under 9%.
Having blathered on about all that, watching this was a real treat. He's over the Gates/PC thing and has even left Apple. He's smart, articulate, visionary, he's talking about the future. He doesn't know that he will become a huge cultural icon, that his standards of perfection will create a benchmark.
Essentially, WOW. Thank you for making this available for viewing.
