Good thing they talked about the reasoning for the gift because if John had left it with Steve's assistant without a message behind it, (yours and my belief of what that sybolism meant) Steve would've taken it as an insult, hence why he asks "is this your way of telling me I shouldn't have killed the Newton?"

the hostile standoff wasn't really uncalled for. The movie kinda shows from the perspective of Jobs. But when Scully took over, Jobs was a nightmare to work with. The teams under him had an extremely hard time. Jobs was a perfectionist, and he used to drive people mad with overwork, repeated work, and he was never satisfied(unrealistic expectations). He burned a lot of money, workforce and time. Later on when he came back to Apple he was older, more grown up, and more mature.

@@TheHellogs4444 I agree with you. Also, Steve Jobs in this scene (although I know its a Hollywood version of Jobs) clearly still harbors feelings about being "given away". Even in his commencement speech he refers to his adoptive mother as his mother. Clearly he cares about being "loved" by significant ones which ultimately means wanting to be a "good person" at your core. When your daughter has ill feelings towards you, you can't help but wonder if you're a bad person. Sure, you can try and justify your actions (or lack of affectionate actions) by saying "I'm really accomplished and adored by the public". But deep down you know that being loved by billions of random strangers is very different from being loved by your daughter. It seems to me that "great" people who couldn't be loved by their significant ones try to use their success to mask their failure of being a normal, decent human being.

Pretty obvious Jobs would've killed Apple if he stayed on the whole time. His firing, that led to his eventual return, saved Apple.

[@p5rsona]

Agreed. The Steve we knew in his later days wouldn't be the same if he was let to go wild. It sobered him up pretty good.

[@PointReflex]

He learned a fiew bits after he was fired from Apple and started his own company. But it was mostly during the short NEXT Computers era that Jobs really changed a lot. If you watch some of the old documentaries about the formation of the company you'll se that a lot of the old "impossible dead lines" bullshit was carried over by Jobs from Apple to NEXT. Even the small crew he gathered at the begining of the company warned him about those dead lines and the working conditions. When he re-entered in Apple around 1997 he already changed a lot, I think because he didn't want to take responsability for what happened in 1985 but then when he had his own company and full control he failed for almost the exact same reasons, so the "it was the CEOs fault" excuse didn't run no more. Granted he never fully changed, but an improvement was made on his persona after seeing how his attitude with the people under his control ended up being the MAIN CAUSE behind his demise.

[@swapode]

@@PointReflex Maybe he mellowed a bit, people tend to do that with age. But he was still very much the same and for good reason: His "impossible" expectations tended to be spot on. In terms of deadlines: Parkinson's Law is accepted as true by pretty much any experienced project manager. Whether you give a team 6 months or 18 months, the result will be almost identical, the project will go into crunch time either way, etc. In terms of engineering expectations: Countless of Jobs' "impossible" demands from his engineers turned out to be very much possible just a bit harder to crack. This is widely known as the RDF: Reality Distortion Field. A term coined by Bud Tribble during the Macintosh development. And while it may be taxing it's an essential part of what made Apple great. And I think most key contributors are quite fond of that - at least in retrospect.

​@@OpenMawProductions I remember owning an Archos Jukebox MP3 player more than a year before the first iPod ever came out. It had tons of storage, had a built-in radio, was completely plug-and-play without the need for any iTunes syncing bullcrap, and could even be used as portable file storage (it was essentially just an external hard drive with a small LCD screen and audio-out ports). In pretty much every way, it was superior to the first iPods. The only thing the iPod had going for it was an Apple logo, which it turns out is enough to make millions of people fork over their cash for over-priced technology. Today, people legitimately think Steve Jobs invented the concept of portable music players (as exemplified by this very film). The Cult of Personality around Jobs is tragically real. Practically NONE of what Steve Jobs "invented" was actually created or even imagined by him. He took what other people were already doing, slapped an Apple logo on it, charged a 50% markup, and legions of zealots trampled each other to buy one while re-writing history to pretend Jobs was some sort of visionary genius who imagined all these new technologies and applications no one else at the time could even conceive of.

Man, the magic people can do with wonderful script, acting, directing, cuts, sound design....the meticulous arrangements of film making elements. What a fine dining experience.

[@freddyjosereginomontalvo4667]

As someone said about those movies were in fact action movies, where they changed the bullets, for words, while all the adrenaline, suspense and emotion were keep it.

“If you’re holding a stylus you cant use the other 5 attached to your wrist” felt like he was foreshadowing what technology was coming, damn this man was a genius

[@looneyburgmusic]

And today, all those years later, the vast majority of people still only use one or two fingers to interact with their phones/tablets... Or they use a stylus

[@creativechau]

"If you're holding a stylus you can't use the other five that are attached to your wrist." GOOSEBUMPS

[@looneyburgmusic]

Dumb is more like it. Writing with a stylus is far more natural, and quicker, then tapping out letters with a couple of fingers. As matter of fact, I just wrote this comment with a stylus. The problem wasn't ever the idea of using a stylus was bad, it was the technology wasn't there in the day of the Newton. Now it is.

[@AmiliaCaraMia]

@@looneyburgmusic why are you like this

[@looneyburgmusic]

@@AmiliaCaraMia like what? Telling the truth? Jobs had one thing going for him - he most likely was the greatest salesman to ever live. He could have most likely convinced his fans to buy bottled air from Apple. But that didn't mean he was right all the time. And in the case of stylus vs. fingers he was dead wrong. He just convinced people he was right.

[@jeanlundi2141]

Cringe.

[@jliller]

@@looneyburgmusic I think the answer is: it depends on optimizing an individual's dexterity, coordination, and tactile comfort. When I got a smartphone for the first time I got a Motorolla because it had a physical keyboard. I was not only used to a physical keyboard because I've been using them since elementary school, but also because something about repeated use of touch screens make my fingers physically uncomfortable (keyboards do not). If I was older and had not grown up with keyboards, but had instead grown up with penmanship courses in grade school that resulted in me having excellent handwriting then writing with a stylus on a device that can read that handwriting and convert it to text would be an outstanding tool.

if he had turned out to be kind and nice person, people will say he managed to learn his parents and escape the wheel of determinism. if he had turned to be mean and cruel, people will blame it on his parents negligence. why be nice and humane when you can be "successful" and efficient, especially when you can't be bothered by the status quo of "doing the right things"? you could just deflect the nature your personality onto your upbringing.

one of many things shown in the movie which never happened and this scene took me to swallow because they did not have a talk like this. As part of the movie it is however fantastic. The acting of Michael Fassbender and Jeffrey Daniels is ON POINT. Every nuance right. The photography, the setup, the music, the colors even, everything fits. And is important. Every line uttered is important.

[@jonathangwynne1917]

It was absolutely Scully’s fault. His job as CEO is to persuade the board and shareholders to do the right thing to make money - to save them from their own greed and lack of vision. Scully couldn’t do that because he had no vision. He was a bean counter. He should have stayed at a company like PepsiCo. He was absolutely the wrong guy to run Apple.

The stylius comment only works because the movie was made when it was. It makes Jobs out to be this visionary that saw what was wrong with everything... when in reality the stylus was due to technological limitations, touch screens such as they were at the time, were not ready. But it makes for good movie quotes.

[@aguyfromnothere]

Jobs was a monster when younger, but having kids helps you grow. It helped him be married and grow.

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

He still exhibited a lot of shitty behavior as a husband and a father according to what I've read. Chrissann's autobiography _A Bite In the Apple_ and Lisa's autobiography _Small Fry_ and Steve's authorized biography by Walt Isaacson, and anecdotes by employees share a lot insight with stories of awful behavior along with his generosity and kindness.

[@AverageGuy-kl1xj]

Love this movie. Last scene with his daughter always gets me

[@AllenHanPR]

Steve use to frequent the restaurant his biological Dad's restaurant, both didn't know they were father and son. But they had a great relationship and Steve Jobs would leave great tips, the father said after finding out his customer was his son he gave up for adoption. After Steve found out he stopped going to the restaurant, but Steve said he occasionally drove by and see how the restaurant was doing and would have someone pick up food from there to see if his Dad was still working there. Once his Dad found out, why his best customer had stopped coming and it was his son. He had deep regret he could've had a great relationship with his son. Some of the most influential people came from imperfect upbringings. Babe Ruth was a orphan and so was NFL player Michael Oher and Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates was raised by a single mother, along with Justin Beiber, Britney Spears and Leonardo Dicaprio. That's why if you hear acceptance speeches from them you will hear them say "This is my Mom", instead of parents.
