Jay Baruchel and Glenn Howerton star in 'BlackBerry’—a dramedy biopic about the rise and fall of the iconic smartphone. It's a story about a tech giant that is less familiar than it sounds. Read beastobsessed's review:
, a dramedy biopic about the implosion of the once-beloved smartphone that screened at SXSW Monday, Mike Lazaridis and Jim Balsillie sit in silence in a yellow cab. They are en route to the most important business meeting of their lives. On the radio—improbably—plays a song that a certain group of post-rock, ’90s midwestern emo-lovers know well: “Good Morning, Captain” by Slint, a group of 21-year-old Kentuckians that broke up just before their only record was released.
It’s gorgeous, it’s painful, it’s cathartic—it’s one of the most honest, vulnerable moments ever committed to tape. And forto employ the song, even if only its instantly recognizable, mounting intro, feels telling. “Good Morning, Captain” is lingua franca for a certain viewer, to telegraph what co-writer/director Matt Johnson perhaps wants to frame this movie as: the story of a devastating breakup.does, in ways, suggest itself as a breakup picture.
That idea is what becomes known as the BlackBerry, which purports itself to be the first smartphone. Thanks to Mike’s uniquely expert tech prowess, RIM is able to create something that the world hadn’t seen before: a phone that does email quickly and securely, on the go and at no added cost to users. It even has a full-fledged keyboard on it, to make both emailing and texting more accessible than on any other device out there.
