Pirates of Silicon ValleyWho's in it: Noah Wyle, Joey Slotnick, Anthony Michael Hall, Josh Hopkins
What's it about: Bill Gates(Hall) was not always the rich, ingenius man people believe him to be. When the computer was really starting to take off, he jumped on the bandwagon to help develop computer code with his best friend Paul Allen(Hopkins). While he was doing this in Albequerque, Steve Jobs(Wyle) and his best friend Steve Wozniak(Slotnick) were developing a computer with a screen in their garage. Jobs eventually founds Apple and Gates founds Microsoft. The two battle it out but find their common ground against IBM. Together and work with, yet decieve, the other in hopes to bring their company out on top
What I Think: I have always been impressed with technology, yet I have never know the story behind the success of Bill Gates. I thought that it was amazing how everything worked out between all of these companies. The acting wasn't great, but it wasn't supposed to really be great. These actors were portraying real live people and this is what I would've thought of them to be. It was great how it was really being told like a story of the success of these men. The transitions should've been done more smoothly as the scenes switched between the two sets of friends.
