Steve Jobs’ daughter was crucial to new biopic

But that’s not the only interpretation of the film.

Coincidentally, Sony did not move forward and as the film shifted to Universal, Jobs’ complaints seemed to quiet down (or Fassbender and Boyle were just better at ignoring them).

Narrative One: Most of the movie pushes the creative license to the extreme, fabricating what happened to Jobs and those around him to the point the story comes off as a tall tale, not something rooted in fact.

Talking to Vanity Fair, Sir Jonathan Ive said, “I just think it’s important to remember, you could have had somebody who didn’t ever argue, but you wouldn’t have the phones that you have now, and a whole list of other things”, the Apple design chief said.

He tells The Hollywood Reporter he later sent Fassbender a letter: “I said, “Dear Michael, I fear that you’ve had to read that I didn’t want you to play this part”. “They worked for him for a great number of years, and that’s a huge deal as well”.

What’s more, the insider revealed Laurene has been “trying to kill this movie” for years. Jobs so touched the world that many around the globe were struck with grief when he died in his Silicon Valley home on October 5, 2011. Before backing out, DiCaprio spent considerable time deciding whether or not to accept the role, and Bale had good discussions with the movie’s director, Danny Boyle, but eventually decided not to participate. After Tim Cook appeared on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and called filmmakers opportunistic for making films about Steve Jobs, Sorkin responded by calling the film a “labor of love”.

“I’ve got no problem [with that]”, he said. Critics however felt that the movie did not fully portray the complexities of the Apple co-founder.

“I think we live in a progressive nation that sometimes is a little shy of admitting that sometimes, that is to do with the people we elect”, he said. Penned by The Social Network screenwriter Aaron Sorkin and directed by Slumdog Millionaire Academy Award victor Danny Boyle, the film is based on Walter Isaacson’s biography of the same name. In the new biopic starring Michael Fassbender, Daniels plays John Sculley, Apple’s CEO from 1983 to 1993.

Still, “Steve Jobs” does exactly what it set out to do, allowing us to regard an almost godlike figure – immortal still, thanks to iPods and iPhones – with a mix of awe and sympathy.
