Our movie begins before a major launch where Steve is about to show the world the Macintosh. Unfortunately, this is also where his previous mistress decides to ask for money so he can support her and the daughter he refuses to claim. He also has a glitch that he must work out before launching and makes it happen by threatening the integrity of one of his only friends. Several intense encounters continue before Steve is finally able to launch his computer. Little does he know that it will fail and his path will take a different direction.
The movie continues with this pattern of showing Steve, minutes before the launch of a new product, with a litany of angry visitors. Steve wasn't always successful but the guy would not stop until he put something valuable into the hands of consumers. It was an interesting as you were able to see the constant conflict Steve had with everybody else as well as himself. This movie portrayed him as someone who thrived on control,especially when it involved what he held so close. Fortunately, he was able to slowly see what changes to make, especially with the relationship with his daughter.
Overall it was a decent movie. Whether you feel Steve Jobs was lacking in the treatment of others category or not, he was an innovative person who left a major impact several generations and this movie gives you one account of his life.
