And their art proves itself in the final sequence, a race to beat all races you’ve ever seen at the movies. You know Speed’s going to win. From the moment Spritle stands up in awe and proclaims “He’s gonna do it,” you know he’s right. As he weaves in and out of cars, Speed experiences his entire life: his childhood dreams, his lectures, his disappointments. Speed suddenly feels the weight of everything that has brought him to this point, reads the first draft of the screenplay. He sees images and hears voices, flashing through his head, as though at his own death. You know he has to win. And he swirls the track into paint, he tears reality into streaks of light, he spins the finish line into a kaleidoscope of red and white squares, creating something aweing, terrifying, beautiful, ineffable. Throughout the sequence, every move, every cut, every shout of the crowd becomes an abstraction of emotion, takes you to a thrilling place you’ve never been—and it is so, so devastatingly effective because of everything that’s happened until now, everything that’s mattered so, so much.

As Jobs, Michael Fassbender is always playing high status, and he is, most of the time, raising self to lower scene partner. Like a king. Mere mortals are the ones who oscillate between presumed authority and supplication, changing the way they interact with people to suit what they need to get out of conversations. As genius creator-god, Jobs never stoops, never spooks, and never allows his colleagues, friends, or family to believe he even has a low status mode.

That platonic ideal of film criticism wherein you come away with both a greater appreciation for the stuff you already liked about the movie and an eagerness to dive back in with eyes for the stuff you missed. Justin Hairston, Goodreads

"Steve Jobs is not a genius creator-god; for most of the movie, he can’t even admit to having created his own daughter, because looking an imperfect human invention in the face is significantly harder than putting her name on a product.” —Sarah Jae Leiber, Performance
"The Silicon Valley myth surrounding the real-life Steve Jobs is that he was a magician, creating inimitable product styles and loyal customer bases where none existed before. But a magician is one who works magic, and the first act’s genre framing argues that the protagonist of Steve Jobs is no such person. He’s an illusionist at best, a weaver of mirages who amounts to yet another species of con man." —Alexander B. Joy, Edit

UPDATE: The Matrix Reloaded Screening Tonight Hello, We are reaching out because you have tickets for The Matrix Reloaded tonight at our Prospect Park location. We are having technical difficulties with one of the two projectors we use for 35mm screenings and will not be able to get it up and running for tonight's show. However, we have decided to still go ahead with the showing in 35mm instead of switching to digital. Since we are only running with one projector, there will be about 2 minute breaks between each reel while the projectionist changes them out.
your pal andy @andylevy - also todd phillips showed up at the showing i was at lol Replying to @andylevy Why does that guy have a paper plate on his head
