One of the best screenwriters in the business. 👏🏼

1:49 I loved that moment of humility so much. It's a shame the film didn't make as much money as it should have, easily one my favourites of 2015.

This was one of the most awesome movie's I've ever seen and it's Box Office performance is the biggest movie surprise of 2015 for me.

I want Sorkin to write my life story, I'm sure he could make tv, work and arguing with my girlfriend epic!

[anujbeatles]

I can't help but feel Apple owns the media somehow.. This film was fabulous!

It's beyond me how Americans just weren't bothered enough to go watch it. And it's not even the scathing account that the media makes it out to be, it's actually a very warm, admiring and inspirational story about a truly great American.

I wanna be a great writer like Sorkin. People think writing is easy but it's only easy when you don't put any heart or thought into it.

[LanceTheEditor]

Really wish it made more money! It's a superbly written and directed film with great performances.

This and straight outta Compton is the generation's defining films.

[carrotcake]

One of the best screenwriters of our time.

[kipperbill]

This guy is apparently criminally undereckognized, deserved more views!

I loved the "Steve Jobs" movie

[eireneM]

they've just started to show the movie in Russia & I went to see it, it's really good! don't understand why nobody's watching it

[ERYTHROGRAPHOS]

I didn't get why the widow of Steve Jobs objected the release of the film, while Jobs himself gave Isaacson full access and clearance to write his biography, the book which the movie is based on. Btw the book is one of the best approved biographies anyone can read. GREAT MOVIE, honestly watch it in order to understand the men behind our devices.

It should have made money I loved this movie so much
