Film-Steve Jobs has all the qualities of a Hollywood blockbuster. It got the stars Kate Winslet (Kate Winslet), Jeff Daniels (Jeff Daniels), Michael Fassbender (Michael Fassbender) appeared in the film; it is composed of leading writers along·suoerjin (Aaron Sorkin) writer; it also won enthusiastic praise comments, some critics believe that: "the record of the Steve jobs of the rich and powerful of our time. ”
But the film's box office fiasco, released on October 9, after 7 weeks, grossing approximately US $ 18 million. Is Hollywood overestimating the public's interest in jobs, perhaps the movie released a few years later, or earlier decades; or perhaps because after many books, movies and documentaries have appeared, we already tired of Steve jobs.
But perhaps the most surprising is the Silicon Valley of its failure made a "contribution".
Before the film, the tech industry investors luoen·kangwei (Ron Conway) used to send messages to industry Tycoon, I urge them not to support the film, because he thinks this film portrayed too rude to jobs, tarnish your image. According to two introduced by mail, even against Conway statement makes recommendations on their Twitter. But Conway did not comment on this.
The famous venture capitalist Marc Andreessen (Marc Andreessen) also hold a similar attitude, he said on Twitter: "the jobs ' biography movie ' was deliberately distorted the facts. ”
Even more surprising is that some veteran technology journalist also dissatisfaction with the way of the film shoot, like hungry Piranha on the blitz.
Former columnist for the Wall Street Journal, United woerte·mosiboge, founder of Re/code (Walt Mossberg) wrote a 1,400-word article, describes how Sorkin "deliberately chosen and amplifies jobs ' the worst part of the character. "He repeatedly emphasized that the film is the portrayal of jobs" Jue was not the Steve I know. "
Designed for the Newsweek and Rolling Stone magazine reported that Apple shidifen·laiwei (Steven Levy) also said that the film depicted Steve Jobs "is not the person I knew."
The San Jose Mercury News technology columnist Lali·majide (Larry Magid) also wrote in Fortune magazine, the movie "is not telling the person that I know."
This scenario is similar to high school football captain buddy's race.
The fact is that they don't understand Steve jobs. None of us know. I don't care if you a week to attend a late-night party at his house, watching romantic comedy, doing nails. Or, if he's in a product entitles you to a 15-second interview after the press conference. In fact, jobs has been trying to sell something, he is good at using the media, Jue is a master.
Of course, these people know what Steve Jobs wants to show which version, they are very aware of his product. But really know Steve's only his family and a few close friends. Even these people, also had a different reaction to the film.
According to reports, his wife laolun·baoweier·qiaobusi (Laurene Powell Jobs) have repeatedly tried to block the film, and publicly expressed his dislike of the film. According to Sorkin said, Steve's daughter Lisa·bulunnan-jobs (Lisa Brennan-Jobs), also with him on the film, sharing stories about his father--but not necessarily a compliment.
Steve and his work after the much-vaunted technology media does not even allow for a more comprehensive description of their idols, which is surprising.
Even more surprising is that they downplay shortcomings on jobs, including his daughter Lisa to her abandoned when growth.
Sorkin chose this as the focus of the film, he pointed out, jobs denied paternity and Lisa – Lisa is his ex-girlfriend kelisian·bulunnan (Chrisann Brennan) daughter. Steve once told time magazine: "the 28% of the United States men could be her father. "Here" she "refers to Lisa.
Even Mossberg said, although he and jobs for as long as several hours of private conversations, and claims to have "about" jobs, but "I'm his relationship with daughter Lisa little is known."
People did not know just how to jobs aside, the fact is, never there was a tech media jobs, and Apple really satisfied with movies.
As they hated by Walter Isaacson (Walter Isaacson) biography of Steve jobs, because the book did not portray their idol sparkle. So, no matter who wrote, who is the Director, who starred in, they are in hate the movie, Steve jobs. They hate aishidun·kuqie (Ashton Kutcher) starring Steve movies (I do), they don't like yalikesi·jibuni (Alex Gibney) of the life of the machine.
Even when jobs-for example, a close friend of Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak (Steve Woniak) – gave the film positive feedback, Apple fans were constantly attacked. In their view, should not refer to Wozniak's opinion, because he received 200,000 dollars in consultancy fees.
So when the movie fails, you can almost hear the Silicon Valley's venture capitalists and journalists to open the champagne, the sound of each other on the back.
"A movie jobs fall into the dustbin of history. "Tech blog Patently Apple wrote. "They should be issued directly to home theater. "The Apple blog Daring Fireball wrote.
