The glorification of Bill Gates
10 May 2021
Look, I don't hate Bill Gates and I don't love him either. He surely is a smart brain who (not on his own) was able to create one of the biggest companies out there. When I opened this documentary I hoped for a nuanced view on this person. A crazy mind with lots of motivation to change the world, but also a human-being who might lost himself in that process. But the documentary was basically just saying : Bill Gates is so amazing, he has such a big brain (they literally say that a few times) and his flaws are only, that he is always trying to work even harder. It's basically a glorification on all the good that Bill has down, including some "clarifications" on why the criticism against him is actually not fair.

In the end, the only negatives of him seem to be his motivation to continue trying, even if there is no solution. It's not a bad doc, was interesting to see his projects, but it felt more like a commercial for him than a nuanced and neutral depiction of him.
