How do you make an honest movie about a legendary man, one whose
early death left his own story unfinished? That question lies at
the heart of this week's 60 Minutes story on the making of the
film "Steve Jobs." And it's one that acclaimed director Danny
Boyle set out to answer when he took on the densely written,
three-act script by Aaron Sorkin.
"Ambitious is the word I like to describe it," correspondent
Steve Kroft tells Overtime editor Ann Silvio in the video above.
"Steve Jobs would have liked this movie, because it's different.
It takes a lot of risks."
60 Minutes producer Michael Karzis agrees. "There's no
exposition. There's no setup," he explains. "The movie just
starts. And you're on a ride for two hours."
It's not a ride that everyone is up for. Laurene Powell Jobs,
Steve's widow, was unhappy with her husband's portrayal. And in
a December interview, Apple CEO Tim Cook told 60 Minutes, "What
I can tell you is the man I knew is not the man in the movie."
Still, Kroft says, that doesn't mean the man in the movie isn't
a reflection of the real Jobs. "Everybody saw a little bit
different Steve Jobs," Kroft tells Silvio. "I mean, his wife and
family certainly saw one side of him. The people that interact
with him at work know him from the work environment."
Kroft was a lying sack of shit who took liberties with a dead
man's past.
