Given the means, wouldn’t you try to derail a movie that assailed your late spouse?

I’m not an Apple, or SJ fan. I would watch this film, but just can’t get past Fassbender as SJ.

I don’t blame a widow from trying to stop a movie that presents her late spouse in a bad light but the truth is the truth — he was a real a__hole a lot of times. He did treat his daughter like crap. He was a brilliant person who did a lot of good with his technology, but he was a first class jerk too. That makes for an interesting movie much more so than some puff piece.

“The movie portrays Jobs in a different light to how he is seen by many, depicting him as ‘heartless’...”

In other words, it portrays him accurately. So far the best potrayal of Jobs on film was done by Noah Wyle in “Pirates of Silicon Valley”, and he didn’t try to sugarcoat the kind of personality everyone in the industry knows Jobs had.

I saw an interview with Steve Jobs once and he nailed the average Democrat’s philosophy, (though perhaps unintentional):

He said, “Most people don’t have any interest in earning a million dollars; what most people want to do is to SPEND a million dollars.”
