The movie “Pirates of the Silicon Valley” portrayed the beginning of Apple and Microsoft Corporation. The film showed how the ideas of extraordinary individuals, Steve jobs of Apple and Bill Gates of Microsoft, changed the computer world. It also showed not only the development of the two computer companies, Apple and Microsoft, but also the rivalry between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. The film also emphasized the enormous computer companies, Xerox and IBM. On the other hand, as the thought of the personal computer surface, the time of both Steve Jobs and Bill Gates begin.

The film was entitled “Pirates of the Silicon Valley” since the main characters stole ideas from one another. It presented the tricky world of business. Microsoft acquired the DOS from someone else. Bill Gates sold IBM on the idea of using Microsoft's new operating system DOS as the operating system for all IBM machines. Apple stole the concept of Graphical User Interface (GUI) from Xerox and Microsoft developed Windows from Apple software. Silicon Valley is located in Northern California where the computer development of the 1980’s and 1990’s hasted.

The movie also showcased the personal life of the main characters as well as their negative personalities. Steve Jobs refused to accept that he is the biological father of a young girl named Lisa and Bill Gates rode a bulldozer as if it was just a normal car. It also presented the obstacles and hindrances in the development of their companies and how both managed to overcome them.

From nameless individuals that gigantic computer companies ignore, Steve Job who made Apple shocked the world by its different versions of personal computer and Bill Gates was now known as the richest man in the world because of his creativity and wild ideas. Microsoft appeared out of nowhere to conquer the world, basically because Microsoft software has something that the other companies like IBM lacked.

The film also has several historical inaccuracies because the length of a film is short, the film attempted to over generalize the historical record in order to abridge the span of the film. For instance, Apple’s Graphical User Interfaced Lisa was appeared to be a remarkable success when in reality, it was a commercial failure. But because of this, by presenting it as a success made it easier to justify why Microsoft headed by Bill Gates gained interest in Apple Company. Many other events are unrevealed in the film and were emphasized in a less depth.
