Crazy people lead crazy times

An open-minded nation, in a crazy time at the time, created a crazy group of people; the same group of crazy people led a crazy era in the decades to come.
The characters in the film are very similar to those in reality, and the wisdom and excellence of these people are not described in too many ways. Just starting from the environmental reality at that time, it is very simple and realistic, and it is a good documentary.
I like the character Bill very much. Although I liked Steve a little at the beginning, his inhumanity after his success is unbearable. When they were in school, they weren't the type that all girls liked, but they had a keen insight that most people didn't have. Knowing the forefront of the development of the era, knowing what will appear in this era in the future, they know that they are the ones to promote the arrival of this era, so they finally succeeded.
It also revealed some scandals of unfair business competition. "Good artists copy, great artists steal." These are all commercial practices used by Steve and Bill at the time, and it is undeniable that the commercial competition between them is cruel.
This film should have made Steve and Gates laugh and cry. It revealed some embarrassing things about their youth, but these are indeed real, and their success is not overly exaggerated. Very good movie worth watching. . . . .

    I don't like jobs, but that's what people like can create, and people like Bill can do big business.

    Not real, but meaningful. The movie itself isn't great, but what's revealed behind it is brilliant

Pirates of Silicon Valley 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.
