UMikhal Marek Ifilimu ekade ilindelwe Steve Jobs ebhalwe ngu-Aaron Sorkin futhi iqondiswe nguDany Boyle, ibe nemidlalo yokuqala kazwelonke e-United States kule mpelasonto. Naphezu kokulindela okukhulu, ifilimu ayizange yenze i-debut enhle kakhulu esikrinini, okungenani ngokwemibandela yokuthengisa. Le filimu yenze imali edumazayo engu-$7,3 million ngempelasonto yayo yokuqala, futhi ezinye izintatheli ziqhathanise kahle lokhu kungena ne-Power Mac G4 Cube computer fiasco.
Isithombe Steve Jobs yayisekelwe ku-screenplay ka-Aaron Sorkin futhi kuhlanganiswe nempilo esakhangayo ka-Steve Jobs bekufanele kube iresiphi yempumelelo. Kodwa ifilimu ayizange ifinyelele ngisho nasekuthengiseni ifilimu yangaphambilini kaSorkin eyayingaziqhayisa ngakho ngemva kwesonto lokuqala I-Social Network mayelana nokudalwa kwenkundla yezokuxhumana ye-Facebook. Kuthathe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingama-22,4 ezinsukwini ezimbili zokuqala.
Into esemqoka ukuthi entsha Steve Jobs akadlulanga okwakhe ngokuningi umanduleli wehlulekile Imisebenzi no-Ashton Kutcher. Kwenze imali engu-$6,7 million ngempelasonto yayo yokuqala.

Ngokwezilinganiso, wayenakho Steve Jobs ngesabelomali esingamaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-30 (futhi okungenani isabelomali esifanayo sokumaketha) ukwenza endaweni ethile phakathi kwezigidi ezingu-15 zamaRandi nezigidi ezingu-19 zamaRandi ngempelasonto yayo yokuvula. Lokhu okulindelekile kwaqiniswa nakakhulu impumelelo yefilimu e-Los Angeles naseNew York, lapho ifilimu yaboniswa khona ngomthamo olinganiselwe emasontweni amabili ngaphambi kokuba iboniswe okokuqala ngqa.
Ochungechungeni lwalokhu kubuka kuqala okulinganiselwe, ifilimu yaboniswa ezikrinini ezine futhi yenza imali eyizigidi ezingu-2,5 kulawo masonto amabili. Lokhu kubuka kuqala kuze kwaba impelasonto yeshumi nanhlanu yokuvula ephumelela kakhulu emlandweni we-Hollywood, ezuza isilinganiso esingu-$130 kusikrini ngasinye kwezine.
Ngemva kokukhishwa okwalandela kwefilimu enanini lemidlalo yaseshashalazini yaseMelika engu-2, kwakulindeleke impumelelo enkulu. Kodwa-ke, akazange afike, futhi manje kunezinkulumo eziningi mayelana nesinqumo seminyaka emibili yenhloko ye-Sony, u-Amy Pascal, owashiya ifilimu ekuqaleni kwayo evuna imbangi ye-Universal. UPascal wayekhathazekile ngokubuya ekutshalweni kwezimali kwefilimu ngaphandle kokuba khona kwanoma yimuphi umlingisi omkhulu, njengoba indima kaSteve Jobs yaqale yadedelwa nguLeonardo DiCaprio futhi kamuva nguChristian Bale. Ekugcineni, umlingisi wase-Ireland uMichael Fassbender, ongazange akholise lo wesifazane ngamakhono akhe, waba yikhandidethi yokugcina.

Lesi sinyathelo sikaPascal asamukelwanga kahle ngabantu abaningi. Umhlaba wasangana ngokumaketha okubukhali okwagxilwa yifilimu kaSorkin, eqondiswa nguBoyle, futhi le filimu - nayo ngenxa yemidlalo kaFassbender - yaqala ukukhulunywa ngayo njengomunye wabagaqele i-Oscar. Kodwa manje kubukeka sengathi ukwesaba kuka-Amy Pascal bekulungile.
Ifilimu cishe izoba nesikhathi esinzima ngempela emakethe yaseHollywood, ngokwengxenye ngenxa yokungabikho kwesihlabani esikhulu sokulingisa. Nokho, ifilimu inezinye izithiyo endleleni eya empumelelweni. Phela, lokhu ikakhulukazi kuyindaba yengxoxo yezethameli ezithile, phakathi kwazo kuzoba abalandeli be-Apple, ikakhulukazi abavela e-United States. Ngakho-ke, uma ifilimu ingaphumeleli ekhaya, kuzoba nzima ukwenza ukulahlekelwa phesheya.
Kungenzeka ukuthi ingxenye ethile yokungaphumeleli kwefilimu ngempelasonto yayo yokuqala nayo ithwala ukugxekwa kwefilimu ngabajwayelene nezihlobo zikaJobs. ULaurene Powell, umfelokazi wakwaJobs, uTim Cook noma uSteve Mossberg uthe le filimu nakanjani ayikhombisi Imisebenzi abayaziyo. Amazwi anjalo ayengase avimbele labo basekeli abaqinile be-Apple nabasekeli bakaSteve Jobs, abadali abathembele kakhulu kubo.
Nokho, abadali abadeli futhi bafuna ukuletha indalo yabo ekukhanyeni. U-Nick Carpou womnyango wokusabalalisa wasekhaya we-Universal uphendule emiphumeleni yokuqala ngale ndlela elandelayo: "Sizoqhubeka nokweseka ifilimu ezimakethe lapho ikhombisa khona amandla ayo, futhi sizoqhubeka senza njalo ngenkuthalo nangenkuthalo." , I-Universal ikholelwa ukuthi uma ifilimu yasetiyetha ibamba kuze kube yilapho kumenyezelwa ukuqokwa kwe-Golden Globe ne-Oscar, izoba nethuba lokululama kanye nendlela evulekile yenzuzo. Kodwa ukufika ku-zero, ngokusho Okunhlobonhlobo kuzodingeka athole okungenani amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-120. Cishe ingxenye yeshumi kuze kube manje.
Ifilimu izofika emasinema aseCzech Steve Jobs Novemba 12.
Ifilimu ekhuluma ngeMisebenzi engabukeki njengeMisebenzi. Kufana nokwenza imuvi ekhuluma ngoLincoln nomlingisi onodevu noblond, futhi oshefile :(
Inhlekelele. Siphinde santshontsha i-GUI… Yini??
Angimangazi... Ngemuva kokuthi i-Apple iqede ukuklama kwe-iOS ne-OS X, akubangakho balandeli bokuqina abasele...
