Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

adamkings It's a good thing we know bill gates and steve jobs. but the way this movie portraits them is like a bunch of drunk, stupid college frat boys. they were geeks. we want to see their story. that's why we watch this film. instead this film shows a lifestyle of a rock stars with loud inappropriate soundtrack that ruins the film. it shows all the garbage like getting drunk, or high or having sex. really? who wants to see these guys doing this stuff? I want to see how these nerds got through the boring hard work they faced and learn something. I'm pretty sure the story is not even entirely true. it looks like fiction. the only reason I watched the whole thing is so I may get some new information about them I didn't know before.

s-mischkies Non-existent. Microsoft didn't just bumble and cheat themselves to contracts, Apple didn't steal from Xerox PARC (they paid Xerox, Microsoft was there as well, btw), Mike Markkula didn't just drive past a garage and offered 250k, both Apple and Microsoft worked together from very early on (Apple licensed Microsoft Basic and sold it as Applesoft Basic, MS was early involved in the Mac to write applications), the reaction in 1997 was not nearly as hostile as depicted, the speech was different as well (you can see it on youtube...) etc. pp.As a movie it's far from great either, the script itself is lacking in finesse, the characters are caricatures.

classicalsteve Steve Jobs was a college radical, and Bill Gates was a Harvard bum who missed class to play poker. But each had certain friends. Jobs had Steve Wozniack, essentially a techie tinkerer who could invent small gizmos which could defraud the phone company. Gates had Paul Allen who knew something about computers. The Pirates of Silicon Valley chronicles the escapades and misadventures of the young upstarts who created the industry that the old guard couldn't really see yet alone understand. An industry which now permeates all aspects of modern life.These crazy young inexperienced radicals who began their careers in garages and motels would mold what would become the entire PC market. Jobs and Woz founded Apple and created the first personal computer, the Apple I and Apple II. Gates created Microsoft and licensed an operating for IBM which would become MS-DOS, bought from a small fledging software company in Seattle for $50,000, although Wikipedia's article on the subject states it was $75,000.Then Jobs and his colleagues are brought to the Xerox development center where technicians were creating a computer with graphical interface. The Xerox executives had been given a demonstration of their new technology, but the old-school executives couldn't understand its potential as benefiting their company. Ultimately, they reject the new innovations. Jobs is given full demonstrations of the computers and understands the potential behind the new technology. He then begins the creation of the Macintosh (MAC). Eventually, a rift occurs within Apple between those who worked on Apple II and those working on the MAC. At the same time, Bill Gates creates Windows to utilize the graphical interface being used by Jobs which was originally invented by Xerox technicians. Which then incites the war between Apple and Microsoft.An excellent portrayal of the strange and often unbelievable circumstances surrounding the creation and eventual marketing of personal computers. Anthony Michael Hall is perfectly cast as Bill Gates, and Joey Slotnick does well as Steve Wozniack. However, Noah Wyle steals the show as Steve Jobs. Wyle captures the subtlety of Jobs as the driven genius whose faith in his own vision often eclipses common sense in terms of personal relationships. Jobs was no question one of the great visionaries of the 20th century, but he did not understand how to motivate and empower those around him. In the end, he becomes a tragic figure when he is ousted from Apple by the Board of Directors.

pyroboy1080 This movie is likely the best documentary of all time, and is quite entertaining as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the way that the actors portrayed their real life counterparts, and am completely satisfied with the direction and writing of this movie... Please ignore the remaining text, as it is required for my submission to reach ten lines. Bill Gates sucks. His company with their many billions of dollars cannot even write an operating system that remotely competes with that of Linux. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog. You will get this output if you type =rand(1,2) into Microsoft word 2003 on a line, and then type an enter. This will make word do some sort of visual font test in which you can see "The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog." I hate censorship, as it won't allow users to type less than ten lines, and that it believes that a small opinion is one better off not having. I wish that this would be revised. Thanks for reading this entire thing if you have : ]
