'I don't want you to think of this as just a film..We're rewriting the history of human thought with what we're doing.' So begins the first film to dramatise the life and times of Apple founder Steve Jobs. With new biopic 'Steve Jobs' in theatres soon, we look back at 1999's 'Pirates of Silicon Valley'. 'Pirates' focuses on the heated personal rivalry between Steve Jobs of Apple and Bill Gates of Microsoft, recounting the parallel and often intertwined stories of the two companies and their tempestuous founders. Written and directed by photojournalist and documentary-maker Martyn Burke, the TV movie was based on the book 'Fire in the Valley: The Making of The Personal Computer' by Paul Freiberger and Michael Swaine. It was first shown on TNT in June 1999. Noah Wyle, then in the middle of his role as Dr. Carter in 'ER', plays the hippie-turned-executive Jobs. Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates is played by Anthony Michael Hall, relegated to TV after his '80s teen movie heyday but soon to have something of a career revival as the lead in 'The Dead Zone'. Wyle is uncannily similar to the young Apple co-founder: Jobs' real-life college buddy and Apple employee #12, Daniel Kottke, has said, 'I found myself thinking it was actually Steve on the screen.' But Hall's is the more interesting performance. In the popular imagination Gates is the nerd and Jobs is the visionary, but 'Pirates of Silicon Valley' slyly suggests who's the winner, Hall topping Gates' awkward smirk with the steely, dead-eyed gaze of a poker player. Walter Isaacson's biography of Jobs describes Gates as one of the few people resistant to Jobs' infamous 'reality distortion field', and while Jobs the mercurial visionary might dismiss his Harvard-educated rival Gates as having 'no taste', the film portrays the calculating Microsoft man playing Jobs like a fiddle. 'Success is a menace,' says Hall as Gates. 'It fools smart people into thinking they can't lose.' Although it clearly lacks the Hollywood prestige of Aaron Sorkin and Danny Boyle, the men behind the new Jobs biopic, 'Pirates of Silicon Valley' is shot with real verve. Cleverly opening with a recreation of Apple's iconic 1984 advert, the film keeps its potentially technical subject matter light, with visual flair from the opening monologue fake-out to the camera tracking over the chaos of a counter-cultural riot or prowling down a boardroom table. The parallel stories of the two companies are narrated by their respective co-founders Steve Wozniak and Steve Ballmer, long-time friends of Jobs and Gates. You might recognise the ebullient Ballmer's dulcet tones: he's played by John DiMaggio, the voice of Bender in 'Futurama'. Their narration is brought to life as Ballmer breaks the fourth wall to step out of a frozen scene and explain how Gates built his vast fortune on a lie, while Woz wanders into a Mac's graphic user interface and begins pointing stuff out. Meanwhile the collision of counterculture and technology in Silicon Valley at the time is evoked by effective 1970s and '80s music cues from The Moody Blues to Talking Heads. The film shows how these anarchic early friendships formed into effective business partnerships, each player balancing the other's strengths and weaknesses. The brilliant but shy Wozniak needs Jobs' understanding of people to sell his inventions, while Ballmer's fast-talking sales patter supports Gates' somewhat chaotic inventiveness. One comic scene sees Ballmer solving the problem of Gates forgetting his tie by climbing a bathroom stall and attempting to buy the tie from around the neck of a startled businessman. These young turks take LSD, race stolen bulldozers and operate out of garages and seamy motels. Download euro 2004 ps2 game. Depicted as a winning combination of youthful iconoclasm and technical brilliance, they're presented in deliberate contrast to the stuffed shirts of the then big computer companies IBM and Xerox, who are comically unaware of the way the wind is blowing. And as the title suggests these bright young men really are pirates, frequently plundering other companies and scamming or outright stealing their way to success. Jobs' Macintosh team really did fly a customised Jolly Roger flag over the Apple campus, and Jobs really did say, 'It's more fun to be a pirate than to join the navy.' The only person portrayed in the film as aware of the new danger is also the only woman in the film who is a part of the technology side of the story, a Xerox project manager who appears in just one scene and isn't even named. Sassily essayed by the late Holly Lewis, the character is based on real-life Xerox employee Adele Goldberg, who (correctly) warned against allowing the Apple boys to look at Xerox PARC technology. Fans of 'The Walking Dead' may also recognise Melissa McBride, who plays Carol in AMC's zombie show, as Elizabeth Holmes, who went to college with Jobs and was an early Apple employee. Extra Apple'Pirates' is focused on recounting events rather than getting into the heads of its characters, so there's not a great deal of insight into their motivations. But the film doesn't shrink from the darker side of Jobs' character when depicting his transformation from bearded hippie to bow tie-wearing multimillionaire. A college drop-out with a fascination for mind-expanding drugs and zen philosophy, Jobs could be paradoxically obnoxious, cold and vindictive, in both his personal and professional lives. His capricious temper is shown here as he crushes employees -- which one-time Apple marketing chief Mike Murray called 'management by character assassination' -- or destroys a potential hire by demanding 'Are you a virgin?', a question he startled people with on more than one occasion in real life. His callousness is seen as he shuts out his friends, who had helped him build Apple, from the stock issue that made him vastly wealthy. And most damningly, he's shown denying he's the father of his daughter from a relationship with a fictional version of Jobs' real-life girlfriend, Crissan Brennan. Jobs is clearly portrayed as thriving on conflict, but his delight in turning his own company against itself leads directly to his downfall. It's worth remembering that 'Pirates' was made in 1999, and back then Gates really did look like the winner between the two. At the time, Microsoft unassailably dominated the personal computer world. Jobs had been unceremoniously ousted from Apple a couple of years earlier, and although he had returned, his company had been making huge losses. By 1999 the iMac was a hit and Apple was taking its first steps towards becoming the cultural phenomenon it is today, but 'Pirates of Silicon Valley' predates that global success: it was made before the iPod, before the iPhone, before Jobs adopted his famous black turtleneck uniform and cult leader status. As such the film is an enjoyable primer on the foundation of Apple (and Microsoft) and an interesting look at the first act of the Jobs legend. Perhaps the new 'Steve Jobs' movie will shed more light on the second act. You can watch 'Pirates of Silicon Valley' on DVD or Google Play in the US, and Amazon Instant Video in the UK. It doesn't appear to be available in Australia. 11 TV shows to watch after Game of Thrones ends: Need to fill your Game of Thrones void? These shows might do the trick.

Pirates of Silicon Valley is an original 1999 American made for televisionbiographicaldrama film, directed by Martyn Burke and starring Noah Wyle as Steve Jobs and Anthony Michael Hall as Bill Gates. Spanning the years 1971â1997 and based on Paul Freiberger and Michael Swaine's 1984 book Fire in the Valley: The Making of the Personal Computer, it explores the impact of the rivalry between Jobs (Apple Computer) and Gates (Microsoft) on the development of the personal computer.
Plot[edit]Steve Jobs (Noah Wyle) is speaking with director Ridley Scott (J. G. Hertzler), about the creation of the 1984 commercial for Apple Computer, which introduced the first Macintosh. Jobs is trying to convey his idea that 'We're creating a completely new consciousness.' Scott is more concerned with the technical aspects of the commercial. Next in 1997 with Jobs, returning to Apple, and announcing a new deal with Microsoft at the 1997 Macworld Expo. His partner, Steve Wozniak or 'WOZ' (Joey Slotnick), is introduced as one of the two central narrators of the story. Wozniak notes to the audience the resemblance between Big Brother and the image of Bill Gates (Anthony Michael Hall) on the screen behind Jobs during this announcement. Asking how they 'got from there to here,' the film turns to flashbacks of his youth with Jobs, prior to the forming of Apple. The earliest flashback is in 1971 and takes place on the U.C. Berkeley campus during the period of the student anti-war movements. Teenagers Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak are shown caught on the campus during a riot between students and police. They flee and after finding safety, Jobs states to Wozniak, 'Those guys think they're revolutionaries. They're not revolutionaries, we are.' Wozniak then comments that 'Steve was never like you or me. He always saw things differently. Even when I was in Berkeley, I would see something and just see kilobytes or circuit boards while he'd see karma or the meaning of the universe.' Using a similar structure, the film next turns to a young Bill Gates (Anthony Michael Hall) at Harvard University, in the early 1970s, with classmate Steve Ballmer (John DiMaggio), and Gates' high school friend Paul Allen (Josh Hopkins). As with Wozniak in the earlier segment, Ballmer narrates Gates' story, particularly the moment when Gates discovers the existence of Ed Roberts's MITSAltair causing him to drop out of Harvard. Gates' and Allen's early work with MITS is juxtaposed against the involvement of Jobs and Wozniak with the 'Homebrew Computer Club'. Jobs and Woz develop Apple Computer in the garage of Jobs' family home, with the help of Daniel (Marcus Giamatti) and Elizabeth (Melissa McBride). Eventually Mike Markkula (Jeffrey Nordling) invests in the company which allows it to expand and move forward. In 1977, Jobs, Woz, and Markkula demo the Apple II at the West Coast Computer Faire. This event is followed by the development of the IBM-PC with the help of Gates and Microsoft in 1981. The film also follows Jobs' relationship with his high school girlfriend and early Apple employee, Arlene (a pseudonym for Chrisann Brennan, portrayed by Gema Zamprogna), and the difficulties he had acknowledging the birth and existence of their daughter, Lisa. Around the time his daughter was born, Jobs unveiled his next computer, which he named, The Lisa. The Lisa was then followed in 1984 by the (Macintosh), a computer inspired by the Xerox Alto. The main body of the film finally concludes with a 30th birthday toast in 1985 to Steve Jobs shortly before he was fired by CEO John Sculley (Allan Royal), from Apple Inc. The film ends in 1997, with 42 year old Jobs' return to Apple (after its acquisition of NeXT Computer) and with his announcement at the MacWorld Expo of an alliance between Apple and Microsoft. It also indicates that Jobs is now married, has children, and has reconciled with Lisa. Cast[edit]

Production[edit]Development[edit]Burke notes that when he was shown the first draft of the screenplay, which is based upon Freiberger and Swaine's Fire in the Valley, 'It was all about how the '286 computer' became the '386' and so on .. I was bored by it.'[3] After the studio asked him for suggestions Burke states that 'I'm a great believer in Shakespeare, and what we had was a modern equivalent of Hamlet, featuring two young princes, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs .. the more I read about Steve in particular, the more I saw him in those Shakespearean terms. He was brilliant, volcanic, obsessive, suspicious, even vicious in a business sense. He was about conquest, always conquest. I said, 'That's the sort of movie I want to make.'[3] Burke was thus hired as director of the project and rewrote the screenplay.[3] In developing the characters themselves, Burke also stated that he chose not to speak with any of the central figures portrayed in the film: I did not want to do an 'authorized biography' on either Microsoft or Apple, so we made the decision going in that we would not talk or meet with them. With a team of Harvard researchers, I embarked on a seven-month research project that encompassed virtually everything we could find on the history of both companies, including old technical magazines from the '70s. I intended every scene to be based on actual events, including such seemingly fantastic moments as Bill Gates' bulldozer races in the middle of the night and Steve Jobs' bare feet going up on the board room table during an applicant's job interview. I have two or more sources that verify each scene.[4] Casting[edit]Burke sought Noah Wyle for the part of Jobs. Wyle originally turned down the role, but changed his mind after Burke had him watch the 1996 documentary, Triumph of the Nerds.[5] Wyle states that he watched the documentary 'for ten seconds and knew I'd kick myself for the rest of my life if I didn't play this part.'[6] He also noted that Triumph of the Nerds led him to be 'taken by [Jobs'] presence, his confidence, smugness, smartness, ego, and his story's trajectory. He seemed to be the most Shakespearean figure in American culture in the last 50 years I could think of â the rise of, the fall of, and the return of. The truest definition of a tragic heroâbut you get the 'bonus round' that F. Scott Fitzgerald said didn't exist. Jobs has had one hell of a second act.'[5] Burke later credited Wyle for the success of the film stating that, 'whatever was in the air, [Wyle] just absorbed i .. he became Jobs. It was a remarkable transformation. We had a photo of Steve Jobs at about 28 years old, from the cover of Fortune magazine. We did a mockup with Noah and it was almost impossible to tell them apart.'[3] Burke also credits Joey Slotnick's interpretation of Steve Wozniak (who was so impressed that he flew to Los Angeles to have lunch with Slotnick) with Wozniak's enthusiasm for the film. He notes that, 'Steve Wozniak made several speeches in which he said that the film accurately portrays how things actually happened,' Burke says. 'To me that was better than any awards or nominations the film could get.'[3] Anthony Michael Hall, who was cast as Bill Gates, commented on his interest in the role, stating that he, 'really fought for this part because I knew it would be the role of a lifetime .. it was a thrill and a daunting challenge to play someone of his stature and brilliance.'[7] Filming[edit]Pirates of Silicon Valley was originally scheduled to be shot in Toronto, Ontario in Canada, with over $1 million in sets. However, when Wyle was not able to receive a long enough release from ER (TV series) to shoot in Canada, the film temporarily shut down. Filming began again later in Los Angeles.[3] During the filming, the cast broke down into PC and Mac factions, arguing over the merits of each platform. Burke states that he began the film as a PC user and ended a Mac user.[3] Themes[edit]One of the central thematic aspects of the screenplay is the representation of a young Steve Jobs, who while participating in aspects of the 1960s counterculture, interprets his role in it differently. Actor Noah Wyle, who portrays Jobs, stated in an interview with CNN, 'These kids grew up 30 miles south of the (University of California) Berkeley campus, which was ripe with revolution .. and they couldn't have cared less about the politics going on. They were in the garage tinkering with their electronics and starting a revolution that was a thousand times greater than anything that was going on the college campuses, politically.'[8] Director Martyn Burke also noted in an interview that, 'Steve Jobs and Bill Gates are the true revolutionaries of our time. Not the students who occupied the dean's office in the late '60s. Not the anti-war marchers who were determined to overthrow the establishment. Jobs and Gates are the ones who changed the way the world thinks, acts and communicates.'[4] Music[edit]The soundtrack is made up of classic rock, disco and new wave from the 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s.[9] You will find them too!

Reception[edit]Critical response[edit]
The personalities were very accurately portrayed .. Incidents [in the film] are accurate in the sense that they all occurred but they are often with the wrong parties (Bill Fernandez, Apple employee #4, was with me and the computer that burned up in 1970) and at the wrong dates (when John Sculley joined, he had to redirect attention from the Apple III, not the Mac, to the Apple II) and places (Homebrew Computer Club was at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center) .. The personal drives portrayed in the movie were amazingly accurate. So were the key personalities, but not some others .. Mike was portrayed in the movie in a very inaccurate and unfair way, making it look like he was financially shrewd. Actually, he was intellectually open and contributing and, more than anyone else, he ran and structured the company in the early days, while Steve floated around getting his feet wet at running a company and learning to be a top executive.
âSteve Wozniak[10] On the review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 90% based on 10 reviews, with an average rating of 7.2/10.[11] Ray Richmond of Variety states that it is 'a brilliant piece of filmmaking' and 'a wildly entertaining geek tragedy with the stylistic feel of true art.'[2]John Leonard of New York Magazine, refers to Pirates of Silicon Valley as 'a hoot.'[12] Rob Owen of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette argues that the film is 'a fascinating drama filled with Shakespearean twists and betrayals as viewers come to know the geniuses who transformed not only the way we communicate, but the way we live.'[13] Brian J. Dillard of AllMovie argues that 'thanks to inspired casting and strong writing, this well-oiled TV biopic managed to transform the unglamorous genesis of the personal-computer industry into solid entertainment precisely at the moment when dot-com mania was sweeping the nation.'[14] Mike Lipton of People, found the film to be 'engagingly irreverent' and 'a real-life Revenge of the Nerds [that] stands cheekily on its own.'[15] Historical accuracy[edit]
[The day before the 1999 Macworld, Steve Jobs went shopping and] bought me a matching pair of blue jeans and a black turtleneck sweater and matching round eyeglasses. He'd written a sketch for us to perform the next day at Macworld. I'd put my hands together in a kind of Jobs-like silent-prayer pose and then launch into his keynote. And then a few minutes into the address he'd come storming onto the stage and say, 'Wyle, you don't have me at all! What the hell are you doing? First I pick up my slide-clicker and then I put my hands together.' He'd say,'Ladies and gentlemen, Noah Wyle!; And then he'd kick me off the stage and take over, introducing the latest piece of Apple technology. And that's exactly how we did it. The first few rows, I think, could obviously tell it wasn't him, but most others didn't know at all. And there was this growing ripple of laughter throughout the auditorium when people got what was happening.I honestly had had no idea what to expect: I thought the whole thing might be an ambushâthat he'd get me to his event and that what he said we were going to do in fact wasn't what we were going to do, and I would somehow be humiliated. But he stayed on script and was very kind to me.
âNoah Wyle[5] Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, and Steve Wozniak, all responded to the film. Jobs' only public response occurred at the 1999 Macworld Expo. After Pirates of Silicon Valley had aired, Jobs contacted Noah Wyle and told him that while he 'hated' both the film and the screenplay, he liked Wyle's performance, noting 'you do look like me.'[5] Jobs then invited Wyle to the 1999 Macworld convention to play a prank on the audience. Wyle agreed and initially appeared as Jobs, until Jobs walked onto the stage and let the audience in on the joke.[5] In contrast, Jobs avoided meeting the director Martyn Burke, who later said that 'Steve wanted nothing to do with me.'[3] In a 2013 Ask Me Anything session with Reddit, Gates responded to a question about his portrayal in the film by stating that it was 'reasonably accurate.'[16] Wozniak had a positive response to the film and discussed it in detail with fans on his official website, woz.org.[17] Wozniak felt that many aspects of the film were accurate, stating in an interview that 'when the movie opened with [a scene of] tear gas and riots .. I thought, 'My God! That's just how it was.' [18] He also responded to a fan email, that part of his portrayal was inaccurate: 'I never quit Apple. That suggestion was based on an incorrect Wall Street Journal that said I was leaving Apple because I didn't like things there. Actually, I had told the Wall Street Journal writer that I wasn't leaving Apple because of things that I didn't like and that I wasn't even leaving, keeping my small salary forever as a loyal employee. I just wanted a small startup experience and a chance to design a smaller product again, a universal remote control.'[10] In May 2015, Wozniak once again commented on the film, stating that Pirates of Silicon Valley is an example of a good Hollywood dramatization of himself, Steve Jobs, and the story of Apple Inc. He described Pirates of Silicon Valley as 'intriguing, interesting. I loved watching it .. every one of those incidences occurred and it occurred with the meaning that was shown' in the film.[19] Jobs' college friend and early Apple employee Daniel Kottke also liked the film. He noted in an interview that it was 'a great movie. Noah Wyle was just uncannily close to Jobs. Just unbelievable. I found myself thinking it was actually Steve on the screen.' He also states that in the film there were 'all these scenes of the garage where it's like half a dozen people working, busily carrying things back and forth, and oscilloscopes' when he [Kottke] 'was really the only person who worked in the garage. Woz would show up once a week with his latest to test it out, and Steve Jobs was on the phone a lot in the kitchen.'[20] Two individuals have responded to the film's interpretation of Jobs' 1979 visit to the Xerox PARC research center (which influenced the development of both The Lisa and The Mac). PARC's director, John Seely Brown stated in a 2006 interview that the scene in which Gates and Jobs argue about the role of Xerox is not entirely accurate. He said that Jobs was invited by PARC to view their technology in exchange for the ability to buy pre-IPO Apple stock.[21] Wozniak also said (in response to a question about that scene from a fan (via email) that, 'Apple worked with Xerox openly to bring their developments to a mass audience. That's what Steve portrayed Apple as being good at. Xerox got a lot of Apple stock for it too, it was an agreement. Microsoft just took it from Xerox or Apple or whomever. It took them a long time to get it halfway right.'[17] Accolades[edit]
