<\/a>“Steve” and his “daughter,” the latter of which gave the only credible performance in this whole film.<\/p><\/div>\n
Steve Jobs<\/em> is the only movie I saw this season that I absolutely hated!\u00a0 On every level.<\/p>\n I didn’t buy any<\/em> of the actors as their characters, except for the teen-age daughter at the end.<\/p>\n If Steve Jobs’ life<\/em> was as boring as this film about it, no wonder he had to invent something to entertain himself!<\/p>\n I’m a fan of Kate Winslet, in general, but I have no idea how she keeps winning awards for this performance! I just don’t get it. She’s good<\/em>, of course, but no better than what an actress at her level should be. What she did was so nothing special. And I had no idea what accent she was trying to affect. If she hadn’t mentioned in the film that she has a \u201cfunny accent,\u201d I would have just thought she was speaking a bit weirdly, but that’s it. (The real-life woman, Joanna Hoffman, was born in Poland, but moved to the U.S. when she was twelve, so she should have no<\/em> accent whatsoever.)<\/p>\n Michael Fassbender and Kate Winslet.<\/p><\/div>\n And Michael Fassbender’s lisp was really hard to listen to. I’m not very familiar with him, (having seen him previously in only that one small role in 12 Years A Slave<\/em>,) so I don’t know if that was Steve Jobs’ speech impediment or Michael’s. (According to the internet, Steve Jobs did not lisp. As an almost-luddite myself, I never listened to his webinars, so I don’t have first-hand knowledge of it. And the topic is not important enough to me for me to waste any more of my time researching it.) His speech was so annoying. I had trouble listening to it.<\/p>\n And Michael’s performance was all on one level. Perhaps that’s how Steve Jobs really was, or how the script was written or directed. But it was a snoozefest and a half, for whatever reason. A boring subject<\/em> is no excuse to come up with such a boring end product in film-making.<\/p>\n And since when was the real Steve Jobs the tiny one, while Steve Wozniak towered over him?! Hey director-ever hear of an apple box???<\/p><\/div>\n And the story seemed to be all on one level, as well. It didn’t move. I t made me more claustrophobic that the first half of Room<\/em>!!! [Note: I’ll be reviewing that one in the next two days.]<\/p>\n I seriously had to force myself to keep watching Steve Jobs, just in case it picked-up, in any way. Any way at all. But, of course, it did not.<\/p>\n And my dislike of this film has nothing to do with my boredom on the subject. After all, I’m not a fan of bear-maulings, either, (hence this YouTube vid of mine: www.youtube.com\/watch?v=spG8zu732hM<\/a>,) but that didn’t deter my love of The Revenant<\/em>!<\/p>\n And this is as deep as I want to delve into Steve Jobs<\/em>. I was bored, annoyed, claustrophobic, and upset that it was using over two hours of my precious time. And writing this is just furthering that waste, so…The End.<\/p>\n Here’s a heads-up for my Twitter followers, whom I totally appreciate: I will be live-tweeting the Oscars on Sunday, beginning with as many arrivals as I can. @MajorCelebrity. If you don’t already follow me, there’s still time before the big show.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" STEVE JOBS [Note: In this week leading up to the Oscars, I’ll be reviewing several of the top films of the year, the ones that I didn’t already get to before the SAG Awards.
