Better Than Average Documentary - Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine
8 January 2019
There are no professional actors in this documentary, but it has the feel of a Rob Reiner mockumentary. That being said, it seemed to be even-handed and a fair assessment of the events leading up the unfortunate death of a media genius. Sometimes, the material seems to be a bit plodding, and other times moves at the speed of light, so the pacing is a bit uneven. Also, there is no mention of Jobs' wife or daughter, as highlighted in the Hollywood version of his life. His relationship with Steve Woz is also glossed over pretty much in this documentary, while in the Hollywood version, it is painfully examined in detail. I believe that Danny Boyle did a much better job, which is why I gave that film a higher rating.
