At the box office, “Steve Jobs” by Danny Boyle and Michael Fassbender – BBC

1984, the United States. Steve Jobs, the genius of the young, relatively recent obstrigshy hippy Heyer, who had just created a furore spectacular commercials Macintosh computer and prepares its physical presentation. And not only that the speaker Lisa computer refuses to talk, so even behind the scenes strive to climb the ex-wife and daughter, Jobs acknowledged. 1988, d. Fired from Apple’s Steve again behind the scenes and is preparing to take revenge with the help of an ideal black cube computer Next, but five minutes before the show stick to it again former colleagues and the child. 1998 First presentation iMac. Hair became short and gray, the number of disgruntled ex-colleagues has increased, and my daughter really has grown.

But that’s all it is, oddly enough, and bring Jobs to an absolute triumph.

The author of “Slumdog Millionaire” Danny Boyle He became the second director, who took up the biography of the inventor of the iPhone. In a sense, the director had a free hand – formal portrait “Steve Holy” was in the “Empire of temptation” by Joshua Michael Stern, so Danny could do anything. On the other hand, the failure of its predecessor, apparently, was one of the reasons for not too solid box office results boylovskogo biopic. In any case, a cold reception from the audience – the last thing you’d expect from the film, on the bill which are the names of Michael Fassbender, Kate Winslet and Aaron Sorkin.

On the latter must immediately talk a little more. Sorkin – the writer who wrote the series “News Service” and (more importantly in this case), “The Social Network” by David Fincher. This is a man who is anyone in the world comes up with a quick, verbose and thus wildly witty dialogue, for which the brand is not seen dramatic seams. With the world of high technology, he has met in the film about Mark Zuckerberg, who after “The Social Network”, however, left to the people and was much simple-minded man – a black hole, played by Jesse Eisenberg. In the case of Jobs, it may have been something similar: Sorkin was based on the novel by journalist Walter Isaacson, “Steve Jobs”, but it seems all the more refined character in comparison with real life.

Although in any case – even if Jobs was not so, it’s definitely worth it to come up.

Michael Fassbender played here, perhaps one of his best roles. Floating the perfect harmony of his German posture and Irish chutzpah, Fassbender makes arrogance and sociopathy hero in the vagaries of the demigod who has to deal with pathetic little people, but who knows solutions to almost any problem.

The task before the actor was terribly difficult, because of the structure of the picture – this is actually the drama and all the two o’clock Michael almost continuously is in the frame.

The only person with whom the film is not quite lucky it is, alas, very Danny Boyle. The director, whose creative method was formed in the moth-acid 90, are sorely lacking space – hallway, bathroom, dressing room for him fatally low. Klaustrofobichnye conditions make it impossible to fly the camera, and even in the frame to give some infografiyu illustrating a dialogue taking place. Because of clumsy attempts to make the action more of the dynamics of the scene, on the contrary, lose power, that a two-hour movie is a definite disadvantage.

And yet, despite all the shortcomings, as well as any spoken movie, “Steve Jobs “actors do: confident soloist Fassbender are primarily assisted by Kate Winslet and Seth Rogen in the melodramatic role of an old friend and colleague Steve Wozniak. These three cope with the task perfectly – the characters come to life in his eyes, and Boyle’s film turns into probably the most interesting at the moment view of the famous figure in jeans and a black sweater.
