Jobs
Jobs is a 2013 American biographical drama movie on Blu-ray – based on the life of Steve Jobs from 1974 while a student at Reed College, to the introduction of the iPod in 2001. The powerful and true story of the visionary who set out to change the world and did.
Headlined by superstar Ashton Kutcher, the film chronicles Apple Computer founder Steve Jobs' transformation of character from the enthusiasm and self-discovery of his youth through his darkest days, brightest triumphs and the ultimate power of his drive; his passions and his undying will to change everything we thought possible.
Dark, honest and uncompromising, Jobs plunges into the depths of Steve Jobs' character, uncovering his driving motivations, his gifts, his flaws, his failures and his ultimate successes. The film details the major moments and defining characters (played by a stellar supporting cast comprising Josh Gad, James Woods, Dermot Mulroney, Lukas Haas, J.K. Simmons and Matthew Modine) that influenced Steve Jobs on a daily basis from 1971 through 2000 resulting in an intense, dialogue-driven story that is as much a sweeping epic as it is an immensely personal portrait of Steve Jobs' life.
Critic Reviews:
- " Jobs presents a fascinating story of how Jobs overcomes corporate backbiting and channels his own tendency toward obsession to build arguably the most innovative company of the last decade. " – Megan Basham
- " One might expect Jobs, a biopic of Steve Jobs, to canonize the Apple computer magnate who was only 56 when he died in 2011. But it's a lot more fun than that. " – Stephen Schaefer
- " Ashton Kutcher does a very fine job as Jobs, portraying him less as a technological wizard and more as a business visionary who realised his out-of-the-box ideas by surrounding himself with people who were admittedly more talented than he was. " – Jim Schembri
