An inspiring but unfinished documentary about Bill and his projects
29 February 2024
What does this documentary aims to be? A biography? It isn't thorough enough to show his life especially about his work at Microsoft. A memento to a person and his way of thinking? That's what the title suggests but while we got a taste from his attitude towards life - which is unique, impressive and indeed inspiring - we didn't get deep enough. The main subjects of the docu are his projects, which are indeed important, impressive and the series does a good job at showcasing them, but while they are all good causes the series starts to feel like an ad to these projects. The nonlinear editing wasn't justified here, since it made the timeline of events hard to follow. The pacing is slow which could be accepted as an artistic choice, but given the missing material I would have preferred if this time was spent on his life and philosophy. All in all it is a good mix of his personality and his work, it is without a question inspiring but it feels incomplete. Despite the negatives it is motivating and because of this it is highly recommended.
