      We are Family

      Genius can change the material, and mediocrity can ruin the good material. Pirates of Silicon Valley, shot in 1999, is more philosophical and insightful than Jobs' talk of Steve in 2013. This is not the strength gap between the director and the screenwriter, what else could it be?

      Steve scolds Gates for betraying the family, but forgets that he is also a prodigal son who abandoned his daughter;
      Steve blames Gates for not stealing his programming language, but ignores that he also...

      classic duel

      Showing domineering in modesty, arrogance in restraint, this kind of look, only on this occasion, under the pressure of Jobs, Bill Gates finally showed it. . .
            It was at Jobs' new product launch preview party, and this was the realm of Jobs, full of Jobs employees and fans. Previously, Jobs had been immersed in the introduction of breakthrough technology, perfection, upcoming launch, and artistic new product introductions; at this moment, he realized that his years of hard work had...

      a little feeling about Pirates Of Silicon Valley

      Steve jobs are the pursuit of extremes, and

      Apple's employees are also the pursuit of extremes.

      Bill is the pursuit of the midpoint, and

      micrsoft is also in pursuit of the midpoint.

      Two people,

      two companies,

      are in conflict. .

      Not conflicting. . .

      The same commitment to the promotion of PC

      brings different effects. .

      Time is changing

      now,

      Apple has re-emerged

      with...

      pirate

      I prefer the translation of "Silicon Valley Pirates" to "Silicon Valley Legends". They have the temperament of a pirate, dare to think, dare to do, and dare to work hard. After watching it with my husband, I remember that he said: "A few young people have changed the whole world."
      A biographical film was shot with such a bloody juvenile comic flavor, with love... I
           personally think the most prominent protagonist It should be steven jobs, a genius with equally outstanding...

      Taste the movie "The Pirates of Silicon Valley"

      do you know? There's nothing good about this movie!
      "Good artists are good at copying, and the best artists are good at stealing", this is the core content of this film! Do you still want to watch it? If I told you that the content of the film included abandoning his wife and children, abandoning his studies to become a businessman, betraying his relatives and leaving his family, crossing a river and demolishing a bridge, lacking integrity, being frivolous and reckless, using drugs to...

      Putting aside the quality, it is really not easy for this movie to be made like this. The "learning" in the film is just the furnishing of the commercial means. Rather than overemphasizing it, it is better to say that this is the beginning of depicting reality. In any case, the era of technology is not objective and incomplete without these two...

      It's better than the "Jobs" released in 2013. The director of that work is always dodging during the narrative. This one confronts the grievances and grievances of the two Silicon Valley...

      This time I really admire Bill Gates, and Jobs is actually a little boy who has not grown up. That's why only Bill among them became the richest man in the world, and he could choose the rest of his life. And Jobs worked hard for Apple, but could not find a...

    Throughout the film there is a comparison between Jobs and Gates, both in business and in life. If there is anything they have in common, it is a famous saying by Picasso: "Good artists copy, talented artists steal." In the film, their careers all started from stealing the results of the big companies at that time (China Business Daily Review)  .

    Negative review

    "Pirates of Silicon Valley" isn't anything special. In addition to the director's personal appreciation for Steve Jobs, the director portrayed Bill Gates as a traitor like Cao Cao. The film uses a few far-fetched jokes to try to show the lives of IT giants. Gates likes to play poker, like to drive fast cars, and even drive a bulldozer in the middle of the night to smash his friend's new car. These unnecessary plots may be to illustrate...

    Movie quotes

    • Ballmer: Bill, I don't know if it's the clothes on the floor or you, but something in here definitely needs to be hosed down.

    • Steve Jobs: What is this? This is like doing business with a praying mantis. You get seduced, and then eaten alive afterwards?

      Bill Gates: Get real, would ya? You and I are both like guys who had this rich neighbor - Xerox - who left the door open all the time. And you go sneakin' in to steal a TV set. Only when you get there, you realize that I got there first. I got the loot, Steve! And you're yellin'? "That's not fair. I wanted to try to steal it first." You're too late.

    • Bill Gates: There may be a few... similarities.

      Steve Jobs: Similarities? Similarities? Try theft.
