In October of this year, it will be possible to watch a full-length feature film in the cinema Steve Jobs, but even before that a documentary called Steve JobsThe Man in the Machine (Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine).

It is produced by Gaby Darbyshire, the former COO of Gawker, a rather tabloid internet magazine. The director's name seems more believable - it's Alex Gibney, Oscar winner for the documentary Taxi to the dark side and whose so far last released project is Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, HBO's second most-watched documentary of the past decade. These two titles already indicate that Steve Jobs will not be portrayed as a non-controversial character in Gibney's film.

At the same time, the demonstration itself begins quite celebratory. A few seconds from the introduction of the first iPhone are followed by interview snippets, in which Steve is shown as "the one-speed guy: full speed" and the one who "single-handedly created an entire industry". But then the words are heard: "His things were loved, not that he was loved."

The rest of the demo depicts what the founder of the world's most valuable company was like when he followed his vision. Steve Wozniak was paid a fraction of his friend's salary, some lost their families because of him - but in the process created amazing products that changed the world. The sample actually ends on a positive note, in the sense that Steve Jobs was not a person who was nice, but who did great things. These are not necessarily opposite sides, but the change requires abandoning the previous rules, even classic non-conflict morality.

The documentary premiered back in March at the SXSW festival. He was also seen there by many high-ranking Apple employees who did not like him and left during the screening. Eddy Cue on Twitter he said: “I am very disappointed with SJ: Man in the Machine. An inaccurate and evil view of my friend. He is not a reflection of the Steve I knew.'

Steve Jobs: Man in the Machine will be shown in cinemas from September 4th (although probably not in the Czech Republic), it will also appear on iTunes and VOD.
