The fact that Sorkin is using the most valid source materiel, Walter Isaacson's official Jobs biography, and has top level talent willing to work with him, would suggest that his movie is an even handed view of Steve Jobs. .
Yeah I'm confused about this too ... Didn't Steve Jobs personally put his stamp of approval on the book? If that's the source material then who can say it's not reasonably accurate?
Nice little story you have there. Too bad its from 2012.
That little link would make you a liar no different than Aaron Sorkin.
Not saying it doesn't happen any more, but at least give Apple credit for putting its tremendous weight behind eliminating underage workers on Apple's assembly lines, and having policies in place supporting workers rights that are enforced by Apple.
Wanna bet that all of that arcane consumer crap that you are always praising has significantly less support of workers rights behind it than Apple products do?

Wouldn't that be countered with the fact that Tim wasn't speaking to any film, just speaking about the opportunism of even making these films about Steve Jobs?

No. He never read it. But he did approve Walter Isaacson to write it.
Regardless of either of their comments there's no denying that Apple and other huge comapnies have exploited cheap labor overseas to make hundreds of billions in profits while screwing over the American workforce.
There's zero patriotism in that.
Don't be so quick to demonize business without also looking at your government and prison labor system.
If only 10% of the facts are true in this short documentary (which they are and then some), there's not an American alive that can with justification point any fingers at anyone, other than themselves in the mirror.
I believe what Mr. Cook is/was upset about is people cynically making money off the memory of a personal acquaintance of his (if not a personal friend) who happened to be very famous. That's what he meant by "opportunistic". If Mr. Sorkin the auteur wanted to make a biopic of the gentleman who cleans my employer's offices at night, for example, then I wouldn't call him an opportunist. But using the inflated legend of Steve Jobs to make some bucks, yeah, that's an opportunist. And his martyr act at being called out is a classic eye-roller--methinks the gentleman doth protest too much.

That's what is known as a non-apology apology.
