Steve Jobs - DVD

His passion and ingenuity were the driving forces of the digital age. Ultimately, this affected his family life and perhaps even his health. This revealing film takes you behind the scenes of Steven Paul Jobs's life, including the founding of Apple and the early tests and triumphs of this modern genius.

We first meet Jobs in the mid-1980s as he launches the Macintosh. From the very first minutes, the film confirms that the legends about his antisocial and unbearable nature were not lies. He is a monster who bullies his subordinates for failing to carry out impossible orders, humiliates the mother (Katherine Waterston) of his daughter, whose paternity he refuses to acknowledge despite a court ruling, and argues relentlessly with his right-hand woman, Joanna Hoffman (Kate Winslet), until he gets his way. As the minutes pass, however, this one-dimensional psychopath becomes a multi-layered character whom the audience will come to understand, admire, and, of course, hate. Much like any exceptional human being who saw further than everyone else.
