It wasn't an insanely tough task for Ashton Kutcher to physically resemble a young Steve Jobs in the biopic 'Jobs' (Aug. 16). Getting inside the Apple Computer co-founder's head was something else 牛欄牌奶粉.
Screenwriter Matt Whitley's script renders a Steve Jobs who is petulant, inconsiderate and manipulative but somehow beloved, a countercultural troublemaker who found a way to appeal to mainstream tastes in one market after another 牛欄牌回收.
Mr. Kutcher brought some insight to the role. He is a well-known promoter of modern technology (he famously beat CNN to become the first entity with a million Twitter followers).
As a partner in a venture fund that invests in early-stage consumer-technology companies, he knows the mind-set of entrepreneurs. Still, he says, 'understanding Steve Jobs was almost like trying to understand a different species.' Edited from an interview:
This your first time playing a real person, right牛欄牌問題奶粉?
It's funny─you always play a real person.
Most of the time people don't know who you're playing. It gives you liberty to screw up.
People are probably going to watch and in some ways feel there are things I didn't nail. There's a lot of different perspectives on the guy. I looked at the Steve Jobs I felt like the most people knew, which is the guy in the black turtleneck, and New Balance shoes, and round glasses and shaved head, presenting a product.
You do a unique accent in the movie.
