Cinephile No. 539 "Steve Jobs"

The "Steve Jobs" movie revealed his genius, as well as his neurosis, distrust and god complex all through the lens of each major product launch. As an audience member you will think to yourself, there is no way there could have been that much drama on the day of each reveal. I have to assume you are right, but it is an interesting storytelling technique. It is also one that condenses dialogue into a fast paced exchange between the characters. It won't take you long to figure out Aaron Sorkin wrote the script. When I look at the life of Steven Jobs, I can't think of anyone better suited to take a crack at all that made him a genius and all those things that made him normal.

Be good to each other,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
