Danny Boyle’s biopic of Apple founder Steve Jobs came and went with barely a ripple at the box office, a surprise what with the cast attached and the fact that its subject – for better or worse – changed the lives of the audience it was aimed at. Sure, it came under fire for being less than completely accurate (doesn’t every fact-based film fudge things a bit?), however for me it was the most engaging, well-acted and best written film of the year. Propelled by Aaron Sorkin’s witty, sharp script, this compact movie attempted to give us a picture of the flawed genius in three acts, each focused on a product launch that would ultimately feed into the myth that would spring up around Jobs. More than anything, the film reminded me that all that’s needed to make an engaging movie is a sound script, inspired acting and inventive direction to create a stimulating, entertaining work of art. More importantly, Boyle drove home the fact that through his electronic innovations, Jobs created a generation much like himself – cut off and insolated from the flow of life, each selfishly seeking their own private island in the electric haze.
