Steve Wozniak has actually seen the movie and has expressed some disappointment in some of the inaccuracies that seem to plague the movie in some ways. Steve has basically expressed that the interaction and roles as the movie depicts is inaccurate. He also states that the idea of computers having a profound affect on society did not come from Steve Jobs, but from the “Home Brew Computer Club” they attended as youngsters.
We know that Hollywood does take the liberty to mold and shape biopics as it sees fit. I believe that Hollywood tends to shape a script in a way that they think, the movie will make the highest box office earnings. That can mean that there can be a bit of a formulaic approach when it comes to creating a movie based on the life of a public figure. All of those who have actually read the Steve Jobs biography will be able to recognize any incorrect data expressed through the film. We the viewing public will see if the film displays many of the profound business, creative, and artistic principles he incorporated into his products. Time will eventually tell as to whether or not this film will be embraced. The new Steve Jobs movie comes to a theater near you on August 16, 2013.
