Review of Pirates of Silicon Valley (1999) by Kussai N — 09 Nov 2012
A docu-drama about the rise of PC through the rivalry between Apple & Microsoft, the movie captures the birth of Apple, Inc. & Microsoft Corp & how they turned into rivals. The cast is stunning & the performances are quite accurate.
Even the locations & events like student movements of the 70s, Jobs' garage, the cluelessness of Xerox about the potential of their own creation, 1984 commercial, Bill Gates working in Apple & then deceiving the company etc were captured quite nicely.
This is mostly a movie about Jobs' life but misses out a lot on Bill Gates. Overall, the movie is not very kind to either Jobs or Gates as it emphasizes their negative qualities more. Not a highly accurate insight into the history of Apple & Microsoft but definitely worth a watch.
