By the way, I did not get paid for any of this – I did it because of my respect for Aaron’s work. Even by its surprisingly upbeat denouement, it’s way too late to ask if Steve Jobs is a full-bore promotion of Apple’s corporate philosophy: In 2015, no utterance of Jobs’s name in public can be mistaken for anything else. “That was the first thing I said to Danny. I disagree with nearly everything“, he opened his speech. Does it capture the Steve Jobs you know?

Walker’s respect for his fellow HR professionals is close to non-existing. And mind you, I have been following that group for 40 years now and not much has changed.

Although, he also stated that he has not yet watched the film and he waits to see what sides of Jobs persona are showcased. “I use it pretty poorly.

While I think the facts of Jobs’ life are intriguing enough on their own, I also don’t have a problem with Aaron Sorkin aiming for a more impressionistic portrayal of events – so long as what comes out of it feels like a genuine portrayal of all involved. Another one said, “I think he said out loud what others may just be thinking”. “It’s Shakespearean, really.” Rogen invoked Andy Warhol’s interpretation of Marilyn Monroe to make his point that, “in the end, accuracy isn’t necessarily, creatively, the thing that portrays someone the best”.
