Solid interview. When asked about comments saying “a lot of the things in the movie didn’t actually happen”, Woz said:
There’s parts of me saying, “Steve, please, please acknowledge the Apple II team”, all the way for 15 years through the movie. Like I would do that?
At the core of this is Sorkin making a movie, not a biography. Woz is saying, if you can get past that fact, it’s a great movie. Not sure I can get past that fact. I enjoyed the Social Network, thought it was a terrific movie, but I don’t have strong feelings about the subject matter in that movie.
The history behind this movie runs very deep to me, and I am intimately familiar with the players, they’ve been part of my entire adult life. It’ll be hard for me to see it and divorce myself from that reality.
