STEVE JOBS IS IMAGINATIVE AND MONSTROUS IN LATEST TRAILER

• http://www.popsci.com, By Alexandra Ossola

Imaginative, uncompromising, "memorably monstrous"—Steve Jobs has been called all these things, and based on the new trailer released today, the upcoming biopic will capture all of these facets and more.

In this second trailer released for the film, Jobs (played by Michael Fassbender) is in heated conversations—with his business partner and Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak (Seth Rogen), with former girlfriend Chrisann Brennan (Katherine Waterston), and with his "work wife" Joanna Hoffman (Kate Winslet). For the first minute of the trailer, the dark sides of the screen become larger and larger, like the walls are closing in on Jobs, as The Vergepoints out.

This portrait of Jobs as a difficult but brilliant man is apt. He was unrelenting in his desire for perfection, and as a result pushed his employees to engineer groundbreaking and elegantly designed systems. For those of us who didn't work at Apple during his tenure, that ruthless drive was probably worth it—because of that work, we have personal computers, smartphones, and tablets. But that doesn't mean he was pleasant to work with.
