Some movies are controversial to the core, yet there are no rifts as the icons who may suffer are too busy to suffer. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates; two revolutionaries of IT world were tested in ‘unauthorized’ ‘made for television docudrama’ Pirates Of Silicon Valley.
First of all, the director Martyn Burke didn’t interviewed either Jobs or Gates because he was making an unauthorized biopic. Strange; because one is supposed to consider story of at least one party to create a plot. One shall not take independence of speech so liberally. Somebody’s life could be on stake! Its against ethics.
The movie was factually wrong at many places. Example; it was shown that MS owns stakes in Apple. The truth is a bit different. It once owned stakes without any power and sold it back to Apple after two months.
One important character; Steve Woznaik, on his website said that though personalities were accurately portrayed, events were not accurate. Many other people shown or under influence rubbished the movie thoroughly. But since it was unauthorized, they were safe. Guess; if they had been in India? Jobs and Gates took the movie sportingly. Research was definitely done but the darker shade was glorified. The tagline read- Good artists create... Great artists steal. Anyways, it was rewarded well with five Emmy nominations.
