“Jobs” is a story that many have been asking for. It’s the story of how Steve Jobs built Apple.

And while the movie does have many interesting moments, it fails to fully show who Jobs was.

Instead of a story about Jobs and Apple it becomes a story about Jobs and the perils of ambition.

The production for the film began in June 2012 and was primarily shot in Los Angeles. Several of the scenes were shot on location. The house depicted in the movie is the actual house where Apple began.

The movie is filmed in strong retro colors in an attempt to create an 80s vibe. While it works at times, it fails in achieving the intended affect.

The movie opens with Steve Jobs (Ashton Kutcher) introducing the iPod – one of the moments that left the world awestruck and brought Apple back to the top.

“Jobs” goes out of its way to glorify the late marketing genius Steve Jobs. In its attempt to do so, it fails to give the right credit to several people that helped make Apple Inc. what it is today, including Jobs himself.

For example, Mike Markkula is depicted as someone with more money than brains. In reality, he played a huge role in taking Apple out of a garage and bringing it to the world.

Steve Wozniak, the co-founder of Apple Inc., has been very verbal in his discontent with some of these aspects in the movie.

“They made it look like he was forced out of the company for no good reason and it doesn’t get into what the reasons really were,” Wozniak said in an interview with Bloomberg.

While executed brilliantly, Ashton Kutcher’s portrayal of Steve Jobs suffered from a zealous romanticism of who Jobs was. The plot of the movie fell prey to significant deviations from actual events and went out of its way to portray Jobs as the sole visionary, turning it into a misleading one-man-show.

For a movie that tries to go behind the scenes and for all purposes be biographical, it carefully evades certain crucial events. Clearly Jobs’ micro-orgasm on discovering Wozniak’s unfinished computer was more important than his bad work ethic.

The writers fail to realize that avoiding Jobs’ flaws does not make him look better. It just hurts his credibility.

On the brighter side, Josh Gad’s portrayal of Wozniak is delightful to say the least. Though his portrayal of Wozniak is sullen by comparison, Gad captures some of Wozniak’s quirks beautifully. The casting for the film could not have been possibly done any better.

If you are looking for a movie that makes Steve Jobs look like an intellectual superhero, or if you are an Apple fanboy you will enjoy the movie.

However, if you are looking for a film that addresses the creation of phenomenon that is Apple Inc., you should probably watch “Pirates of Silicon Valley” instead.
