It starts with a comparison between William Randolph Hearst and the film <i>Citizen Hearst</i>, saying &quot;But he didn&#x27;t call the movie Citizen Hearst. He called it Citizen Kane, and it&#x27;s now regarded by many as the best film ever made.&quot; Whereas with the new Jobs film, &quot;his entertaining work of fiction isn&#x27;t labeled for what it is.&quot;<p>Wouldn&#x27;t a better comparison be to Oliver Stone&#x27;s <i>JFK</i>?<p>What makes this more odd is how the essay goes on to say:<p>&gt; It would be as if you made a movie called JFK almost entirely focused on Kennedy&#x27;s womanizing and political rivalries, and said nothing about civil rights and the Cuban Missile Crisis.<p>Or, you know, a film with exactly that title but entirely focused on his assassination.
