The modest crowd this Friday evening confirmed the poor performance of the film Jobs at the American box office. We are only a dozen spectators come to see the biopic about the founder of Apple, just two days after its release in France. The cinema of the 13th arrondissement of Paris in which we realize has already decided to relegate the film in a small room at the end of a winding corridor. Expected for such a production, is hard slap. And it is more or less deserved. start with the strengths, because there are. Immersion in Silicon Valley in the 1970s, for example, the viewer witnesses the creation of the first personal computers. He sees the face of these pioneers, would now be called hackers and would be labeled as public enemies. Steve Wozniak, the brilliant comrade of Steve Jobs, well played by Josh Gad, hack a revolutionary device in the living room by assembling components purchased at the pro shop at the corner of the street. And this is Steve Jobs, his friend half hippie, half heartthrob, who sees the potential and pushes to present to investors. Good idea! Steve Jobs, the icon of the iPod generation, is shown in a light that will look new for novices, and heretical fans of Apple. His shots of blood, his moments of tyranny, his tantrums pierce the screen despite the modest performance of Ashton Kutcher. His ruthless side appears well, particularly against employees that do not judge fairly involved or against the enemy within, those who dared to keep their job while he was temporarily ousted from his company. The witch hunt that followed the return of Jobs business is briefly mentioned, but it is sufficient to take this aspect of the character. The life of Steve Jobs is secondary, as in reality. The denial of his daughter Lisa, he left the care of a desperate by contempt which it is subject, immediately alerts the viewer mother here, we is not based solely on the official biography of the patron Apple. Not like the other biopic that is being prepared, and for which Steve Wozniak (the real one) is a consultant. The Apple co-founder has also criticized the first film, especially considering that the writers have lent Steve Jobs traits of genius “too early” in his story and the characters “were presented in a biased manner.” The main problem of the film is actor Ashton Kutcher, who plays the hero. Certainly, it is made up as Steve Jobs, makeup artists did a good job. Ashton worked the approach neglected and tics Steve. But the expressions of the eyes and face do not fit. No more than a little silly (like roles that the actor has a habit …) French voice, which makes it imperative viewing in VO. Finally, when the end credits appear, you realize that the performance of the actor has impressed us a short time at the beginning of the film, when the character back, walks the corridors of his company before deciding a memorable speech to his employees another problem. finish. It is by no means the end, the movie stops in the middle of the story of Jobs, when he faces the most exciting challenges in his life. It was nice to be forewarned, this is terribly frustrating! Throughout the film, Jobs talks about changing the world, and is preparing to do just after two hours. But the film explodes in flight exactly when the genie out of the Mac. result in Jobs , you will not see iPhone or iPad. It’s just if the iPod will make an appearance in the form of a flash-forward. The eMac, he will be satisfied with a small drawing made by a monumental embodiment of shy Jonathan Ive. This brilliant designer, who has been allowed only a few lines of script, is another Apple heavyweight: he contributed to the success of the products as much as Steve Jobs, he has become over the years the confidant and the only employee authorized to issue a different opinion. As after the film The Social Network which evoked Facebook, you leave Jobs glad I could take a look at Apple, but remains unsatisfied. LOOK.
