> I think the closer someone could get to portraying Steve Jobs, the better it would be.

Okay, if by "better" you mean more accurate and unvarnished, of course I agree. I was referring to those who want Jobs to be portrayed as a technological saint.

I don't want an accurate portrayal of Jobs. That would probably make for horrible entertainment. This is a movie that is clearly not intended to be accurate so much as entertaining, much like The Social Network. I would have much higher accuracy standards for a documentary.

In that case, we're talking about two different things. BTW I happen to agree that the film is meant as an entertainment, not a documentary.

I’m not talking about treating Jobs as some kind of semi God. Actually I generally dislike Apple. But one thing Jobs was known for was his passion. And the kid who portrays him has no passion at all in his acting. That’s what made Noah Wyle’s performance so good in my opinion. He was totally into it.
