Movie Review: "JOBS"
REVIEW: “Jobs”

The movie is based on the real- life story of Steve Jobs, an innovative and creative CEO of Apple company. This movie takes place in 2001 with Steve Jobs, played by Ashton Kutcher, introducing the iPod at an Apple Town Hall meeting. Then it jumps back to 1974, when Jobs attended classes in Reed College, even though he is not really a student there. Jobs were friends with Steve Wozniak, who is the actual person who built the first personal computer, Apple 1. Then the story of Apple begins.

I like this movie. If you like documentaries, it would be a great movie to watch. Also, if you like businesses, and the way it is managed, then this movie will be enjoyable. There are lots of scenes where we can look back at ourselves and think what we have done in our life; what kind of obstacles we have overcome and what kind of efforts we put in to overcome the obstacles. The main characters, Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne are the people who made a great company, starting in a garage. They made tremendous effort and took a lot of risks to make their dream come true. Here are three reasons why you should watch this movie.

The story is about Steve Jobs and his incredible effort to achieve his dream.
Steve Jobs had to overcome the fact that he was adopted. He had to overcome the fact that he didn’t have the money or a proper working place. He had to overcome the fact that he was fired from a company he founded. All these obstacles, blocking Steve Jobs from reaching his dream, of making a powerful company, only made him stronger. In order to achieve his dreams of selling more of Apple computers, he had to make a thousand phone calls a day, only to be rejected. Throughout the movie, you can see hardships every original member of Apple had to overcome. This is the reason why you should watch this movie: to learn to overcome your obstacles.

The main character represents a great CEO.
When you are watching Steve Jobs, you can feel in your guts

    This movie was pretty funny and had some slow moments as well. This movie shows us what it's like to work for a company that starts to have problems within. This movie shows us how people feel working for a company everyday and not enjoying your job. The main character talks about how working at Initech is the worst day of his life and that the next day is worker that the day before. It also shows us what can happen when you push an employee to the end. Initech brings in efficiency experts that hardly know what they are doing besides laying off people and promoting those who don't care about their jobs. The movies main focus is around Initech, but also shows us another company that needs to implement change, Chatskys. At first I thought what am I going to write about from this movie, but there is plenty of things that need change and adjustment from the bottom all the way up in this company.…

    1. Subprime mortgages or mortgages that are normally made out to borrowers with lower credit ratings (below 640) are viewed by the lender that the borrower has larger-than average risk of defaulting on the loan and as a result typically carry a higher interest rate than that of a conventional loan. Banks originally required a down payment from subprime buyers and normally kept these loans bearing the risk of default. Overtime banks began to group subprime loans into Residential Mortgage Backed Securities (RMBS) and large investors began to buy out these RMBS, passing the risk of default along to the investors not the lending banks. Additionally, the Credit Rating Agencies (CRA) gave the RMBS their highest ratings of AAA, making the RMBS appear to be safe investments. The banks then began to bundle the RMBS together into Collateralized Debt Obligations (CDO) and together with the rating agency they determined large portions of CDOs to be AAA rated, despite the fact that they were backed only by subprime mortgage loans. CDOs became highly popular and grew in numbers, however it became more difficult to find enough subprime loans to back new CDOs. Insurance contracts were then made, known as the credit default swap (CDS) and allowed the banks and investors to bet on subprime RMBS and CDOs without actually owning anything. This became a “betting game” of trillions of dollars for financial institutions as to whether or not home mortgage borrowers would default on their loans.…

    Mr. Schlender starts by saying : “If Steve Jobs's life were staged as an opera, it would be a tragedy in three acts. And the titles would go something like this: Act I--The Founding of Apple Computer and the Invention of the PC Industry; Act II--The Wilderness Years; and Act III--A Triumphant Return and Tragic Demise.”…

    Steve Jobs lived a life unparalleled by the common man. Raising some of the most successful corporations from the ground up, being at the forefront of the technological revolution, and battling pancreatic cancer for a number of years were all things that he succeeded in accomplishing throughout his 56 years of life. He also happened to deliver a brilliant commencement address to one of the finest academic institutions in the world. Any college graduate in the audience that sunny afternoon at Stanford University was in for a treat. The irony behind the whole situation was the fact that Steve Jobs himself, although arguably one of the most successful men of the 21st century, never graduated college. “…this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation”, Jobs confesses immediately after he begins speaking. Throughout the speech, the experiences he shares with the audience all share a common theme; the pursuit of happiness will lead you down the road of success if you follow your intuition and do what makes you truly happy. He conveys this message with the use of a cause and effect analysis, contrast, and personal anecdotes.…

    He successfully became the Jackie Kennedy of business and technology, a figure who was ubiquitous as a symbol of his times but little known as a human being. Countless times he has set new standards for usability and performance, and in many ways is the ultimate example of the American entrepreneur. Steve is now only 48 years old and his vision is only now starting to take shape, he will be around for many more years to come, and so will Apple. He overcame seemingly insurmountable odds and achieved his goal, though in a way he could never have anticipated when the story…

    What I like the most in the movie is the story of the founding father of the Free Software Association/ GNU movement Richard Stallman on what he believe and how he conceptualized and eventually succeeded in his GNU movement. His idea is about having free software and forming a community where people can share what they learn from playing with the free software is the main reason why Open Source is having its success. He somewhat stated that it is human nature to share. Meanwhile Linus Torvalds and other people who have believed in the idea of Richard Stallman it also human nature to gain profits for what they are doing.…
