This was a low budget movie and it got away with it. I knew a bit about Jeff Bezos and this movie filled it the blanks about where Amazon began.
My degrees aren't in business. I came to see the human aspect.
The only thing I knew about Bezos was that Amazon started in his garage. The movie provided a glimpse as to what that looked like.
I never knew about the Barnes and Noble stuff either. The chances taken were shown pretty well. There's a lot to cover with what Amazon and Bezos became. The movie stops at their first unexpected sale (95 min mark).
This movie showed only the beginnings and I'm fine with that. Actually, that's all I was needing to see. You'll even learn about how he came up with the company name.
I admire the laser focus and grit. You also need intelligence and his academic efforts helped conquer obstacles.
Beyond that, he gained a successful business but lost, what appeared to be, a loving and supportive wife. I'm not sure any amount of money can buy what he had and didn't appreciate.
Make no mistake, this was his story not her's. MacKenzie was shown strongly supporting her husband and the original notion, but once she agreed to quit her career and move across the country, she was shown only as a nag. Not fair.
The "Know Your Worth" comment is the other thing I will take away from this movie.
I wonder if Jeff Bezos has a real true friend. It doesn't seem that way. Sometimes, It's lonely at the top.
