Presentation on steve jobs biography movie

Movie Plot (Spoiler Alert)

Across several interviews, screenwriter Aaron Sorkin has divulged multiple details about the Steve Jobs movie.

It also provided an honest look at Jobs -- Isaacson conducted over a hundred interviews with Jobs' family members, friends, colleagues, competitors, and enemies -- giving the clearest picture yet of the kind of man that Steve Jobs was.

It's important to note that while the videos below depict the public-facing version of Jobs' product launches, the movie will be much more in-depth, covering not only the launches themselves but the preparation for each product launch that was covered in Isaacson's book, with behind-the-scenes interactions between Jobs and the people around him like employees, family, and members of the media.

Sorkin focused heavily on Lisa Brennan-Jobs, who was Jobs' estranged daughter for many years.

Prior to the unveiling of the NeXT Computer, Steve Jobs obsessed over every detail of the event, spending afternoons with Macintosh graphic designer Susan Kare, who helped him prepare slides.

Aaron Sorkin

Aaron Sorkin, who penned the Steve Jobs movie, has aid that it won't be "one big champagne toast to Steve Jobs." Sorkin combined three major product launches with "five or six conflicts" in Jobs' life and had those conflicts play out backstage, in places where they didn't necessarily happen in real life.

"He's not there to defend himself."

John Sculley

John Sculley, who took over as CEO of Apple after Steve Jobs was ousted from the company, was impressed with the way Jeff Daniels portrayed him in the movie. The movie is largely considered a flop. Because it marked a symbolic new beginning for Apple, Jobs opted to hold the iMac unveiling at the Flint Center, the same place where the original Macintosh was shown to investors for the first time.

The unveiling of the iMac was dramatic (seen beginning at minute 16 in the video below), with Jobs comparing it to a typical PC of the time.

"Part of his personality was he was a passionate perfectionist, but there were so many other parts of Steve's personality that I knew because Steve and I were not only business partners, but we were incredibly close friends for several years," Sculley says. Like the teaser trailer, it offers a look at how the stars of the movie are fitting into their respective roles and hints at the tone of the film, focusing on Steve Jobs' tense interactions with employees and his strained relationship with his daughter.

A third trailer was released in September, a month ahead of the movie's launch date.

Jobs was uninvolved in Lisa's life during her childhood, though he did have a hand in naming her "Lisa," a name that he went on to use for the Apple Lisa.

According to Aaron Sorkin, the film will cover the launch of the original Mac, the NeXT Computer, and the iMac, three of Jobs' most important product launches.

He obsessed over the lighting, and practiced the major unveiling over and over again, drawing out rehearsals until every last thing was right. Sorkin says that he's aware there will be some people who think he was too touch on Jobs, but his ultimate opinion is that it's a good movie. Closing echoes emphasize “I want to live with you”, revealing how his journey encompasses more than just groundbreaking technology—it’s also about familial reconnections and personal growth.

In a reflective moment set against Bob Dylan’s “Shelter from the Storm,” Steve steps back to envision a future filled with promise, forgetting the pressure of the public eye and cherishing the intimate moments with his daughter.

Dialogues echo past grievances, showcasing Steve’s unyielding nature and his obsession with aesthetics. He did move towards knowing that even though he did make the most beautiful things in the world, he himself was poorly made. Like the first two trailers, the latest trailer gives a glimpse at Michael Fassbender as Jobs and his interactions with the rest of the supporting cast.

The fourth trailer for Steve Jobs was released at the end of September with a sampling of opinions from critics who have seen the film laid over pivotal scenes from the movie.

With the movie's wide theatrical release approaching, Universal released several new trailers for the Steve Jobs movie.

She's said to believe the movie depicts Jobs as "cruel and inhumane" with scripts and stories that "play down his accomplishments."

Powell Jobs refused to discuss Aaron Sorkin's script with producer Scott Rudin, despite numerous attempts to get in touch with her. He frantically instructs Andy to rectify the issue, expressing frustration when confronted by the limitations of their tools.
