9to5Mac: Apple iPhone, Mac and iPad News Breaking All Day: Andy Hertzfeld, one of the key designers�of the original Macintosh system software, has told�Re/code that the Sorkins/Boyle movie�Steve Jobs “deviates from reality everywhere” but “exposes deeper�truths” about the man.
It deviates from reality everywhere — almost nothing in it is like it really happened — but ultimately that doesn’t matter that much. The purpose of the film is to entertain, inspire and move the audience, not to portray reality. It is cavalier about the facts but aspires to explore and expose the deeper truths behind Steve’s unusual personality and behavior, and it often but not always succeeds at that.
Hertzfeld said that Sorkin had�convinced him that an impressionistic approach was valid
