Last night while Wendy was away at the gym, I was watching a movie. It was Pirates of Silicon Valley. After my disapproval of the movie based on Facebook Wendy said that I would probably not like this movie. PSV was about Bill Gates and Steve Jobs forming there powerhouse companies. I had the movie on in the background as I was watching Joy, so I missed a few parts.
I imagine it was meant to be tongue in cheek because of the narration of Woz and Ballmer. They were able to step out of the action and dialogue with the audience. The parts that stick out to me involve Gates running through the airport to catch a plane.
It is amazing to see where drive gets you. Both movies involve people, one can say geniuses, who determine to be successful. They all have different motives for success, but they all get there. Of course they alienate people in their lives who care about them.
I suppose being power hungry only gives you a bigger plate to fill.
