You know what I like but also kinda hate about this movie real life wise? Steve Jobs was right. The movie shows him comparing computers to paintings way back in the 80s and 90s, before the technology could catch up, and how he wanted everything to be closed system and talking about how people don't know what they want we'll tell them what they want. And now Apple is the richest biggest company in the world because they do exactly that and have great marketing, probably exclusively because of the great marketing.

The movie shows him with other people like Steve Wozniak who tell him that computers aren't paintings and they should always be open for people to mess around with, and Jobs is like no way. And they ask him what his contributions are because he can't even code or do anything and he says he's the conductor. And he stuck with this philosophy all the way to the 2000s with the i-craze, and then the iPhone changed everything forever.

It's a powerful scene in the movie but it sucks that it's really true, people are idiots and companies are constantly limiting what consumers can do with products they bought and the majority is OK with that because they don't know better or care
