Steve Jobs Film Gets The First Critic- Apple Co-Founder Wozniak


Bangalore: “Jobs,” the highly anticipated biopic of the tech legend Steve Jobs had hit the preview screens on last Friday. The film, which is due to release on April this year, has already invited its first critic who is none other than Steve Wozniak, Apple’s co-founder.

A clip of the film was released online on Thursday, following which Wozniak had commented: "Totally wrong. ... The ideas of computers affecting society did not come from Jobs. His idea was to make a $20 PC board and sell it for $40 to help people at the (Homebrew Computer) club build the computer I'd given away." The comments came just before the movie premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in Utah.

Wozniak’s comment doesn’t end there, he continued, "personalities are very wrong although mine is closer. I never looked like a professional. We were both kids. Our relationship was so different than what was portrayed. I'm embarrassed but if the movie is fun and entertaining, all the better." However, he emphasized that he is basing his comments on a single clip.

"The movie should be very popular and I hope it's entertaining. It may be very correct, as well. This is only one clip. But you'll see the direction they are slanting the movie in, just by the dialog style of this script," he told to Gizmodo.

The movie made by Joshua Michael Stern portraits the rise of Jobs and co-founder Steve Wozniak as tech stars from their Palo Alto, Calif. garage. Ashton Kutcher plays the role of Jobs whereas Wozniak is played by Josh Gad.
