    The consensus among people who knew Steve Jobs is that the new movie about him is laughably unrealistic.

        @paulg history tells us that art doesn't need to be realistic to be impactful

        @rajatsuri The good instances of "unrealistic" art are still true to life in critical ways. The differences are not random error.

        @paulg agreed. But judging by effusive reviews of the movie, I don't think the differences are random errors. More like emotional caricature

        @paulg By and large, the default assumption about every movie is that it mangles the subject matter, whether it’s a biopic or adaptation.

        @paulg the best Jobs film that never will be is the one that Steve himself produced and directed. That would have been interesting.

        @paulg unsurprising, given how unrealistic the social network was (except for the wardrobe, the wardrobe was perfect).
