Journalist (pointing at a big poster on the wall): “Who is this one?” Steve: “Alan Turing. Single handedly won World War II and for an encore invented the computer. He won't be part of the campaign though.” Journalist: “Why?” Steve: “Because you just had to ask me who he was.”
When I was in college a guy in the class said that Steve Jobs was such an historical figure because he invented the computer. Since he was a Job fan I hope he went to watch this movie.
The fast-paced screenplay of Aaron Sorkin, the rousing music of Daniel Pemberton, the brilliant acting from everyone, all instruments of this orchestra get skillfully played by director Danny Boyle to launch an opera whose inertia seems unstoppable. We wonder how the hell so much character development and so much information can be packed into such a minimalistic device. The movie starts and ends in one breath, one small powerful breath of emotions and curiosity. Exceptional.
