    I often show a video in my class covering the development of the Macintosh. In it there are a few XEROX PARC alums who migrated to Apple and were key players over the years. They were pretty clear that Jobs was an absolute beast to work for/live with. One of them, in singing Jobs' praises, refers to him as "the terrorist."

    I don't know how the movie depicts him, but if it doesn't have him occasionally being a monster, I'm pretty sure that depiction is inaccurate.

    That's exactly how it depicts him. Now, are all the scenes things that actually happened, or does he say things the way he would have said them in reality? Some, but nost certainly not all. Maybe not truthful, but still real.

    I would also imagine that the movie has a hard time conveying the whole b.o. thing.

    body odor ... Jobs was infamous for believing that his fruit-heavy diet meant his sweat glands didn't work like mere mortals'.

    Except the reviewers say it doesn't.

    So not only did Jobs believe his sh_t didn't stink, he thought his pits didn't stink?

    So this is the best movie ever made that may or may not be true?

    Well, there's also the possibility it's not the best movie ever made that may or may not be true. I think we need to keep an open mind here.
