MYST 4

Jobs is a film that really inspires you. The main character is Steve Jobs (Ashton Kutcher) and the story narrates his life of creating what we know today as Apple computers. They really show both sides of Jobs in this movie. They show how hard working he is as an individual, but they also show how much of a jerk he can be. In one scene where he is talking about who is going to make how much money off the investment and he completely screws over his partner, Steve Wozniak, by giving him absolutely nothing. Wozniak is played by Josh Gab and his character is very important in the film. When Jobs has his idea of a circuit board to be faster and in color he calls Wozniak in the middle of the night to have him come over and build it. Wozniak shows up and does it. They become full time partners and go to a convention to try to promote their idea. It goes terribly wrong, but Jobs still thinks his idea is unique and can make it big. The rest of the movie is Wozniak and Jobs creating Apple and then Jobs screws Wozniak over. There is a little bit of karma because Apple fired Jobs, while Wozniak still works for Apple. Jobs creates his new company "Next" and Apple wants him back because his new company would put them out of business. The second time around at Apple isn't any different, he wants the same thing and he gets it done, but loses a bunch of friends in the mean time. This movie is inspiring, sad, and very entertaining. I really enjoyed this movie and recommend it to people looking for an entertaining, but also inspiring movie.

A scene that really, REALLY stood out to me is in the beginning of the movie. Jobs calls Wozniak over in the middle of the night and is working on the circuit board. After they have a few lines and are talking like friends, Jobs looks at Wozniak and says, "Hey, thanks for doing this" Wozniak looks him right in the eye with a smirk on his face and says "No problem, it's what friends do right?" This scene stands out to me because, as I stated before Jobs screws his FRIEND over. It also stood out to me because of the lighting in these shots. all the lights are off except for the one Wozniak is using to work on the circuit board with and it is shining where you can see his whole face abd hand working on the board and Jobs in mostly in the dark. I feel that is portraying a role for the two characters. Wazniak being the better person and Jobs being the bad guy by being in the darkness.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie and the cinematography of the movie. The lighting always showed something about the character and that made you really think of if you like that character or not. It keeps you on your toes and really touches your heart at the same time. As i said before i recommend this movie to almost anyone. It is along the same lines as the Social Network, but personally I think this movie tromps The Social Network.
