Film Steve Jobs it has its supporters and detractors. Among the opponents we will find Jobs' workers from the current period and family, and among the supporters for change we will find people who had the opportunity to work with Jobs in the past. This could perhaps only confirm that Jobs's behavior changed after leaving the Applu significantly changed for the better and even though he was still a perfectionist, he was no longer so arrogant, selfish and didn't kick a person out of a spot because he didn't like some font (at least that was what his biography showed). This time, John Sculley, who will also appear in the film and is portrayed by the actor Jeff Daniels, also known for example from the films Dumb and Dumber or from the action sci-fi film Looper, spoke up. Sculley summed it up – the film is incredibly engaging and he believes it will be as successful as The Social Network.
Sculley said that Jeff Daniels portrayed him really well in the movie and it perfectly summed up the feelings he had then and still has today. Sculley also worked on the film as a consultant for Aaron Sorkin and Jeff Danilsa. Even then, he was surprised that the actor tried to understand Sculley in order to portray him believably in the film. And it apparently succeeded. On the other hand, not everything in the film is true, says Sculley. The film shows one meeting between Sculley and Jobs after leaving the Appbut that never happened. Here the movie Sculley should have said that after Jobs left Apple he doesn't believe in Mac's success, which, according to the real Sculley, isn't true.
And how is the portrayal of Steve Jobs? “In part he was a passionate perfectionist, but I remember many other aspects of his character because Steve and I were not only business partners but also very close friends for several years. I can tell you that young Steve Jobs, who I got to know, had a great sense of humor. Many times when we were together he was very hot. He cared deeply about the people he worked with and was a good person. So, I think these are not the aspects that the film focuses on."
