Der Mensch Bill Gates

I am 26 year old and if someone ask me what's your biggest fear, I would say that " Extraordinary people like Bill gates, warren Buffett and many others are getting old and once they gone, only few people are going to be left to change this politically driven selfish world.

The production is great without a doubt. Regarding Bill, he shows aspects that I didn't know about him, but the most interesting part are the projects in which he has been involved, which is inspiring. I think there's a lot to learn about his life.

This documentary gives a peak into Bill Gates's brain. Chaotic, relentless, cramped with information on various topics at once, always thinking of solving big big problems.

In the face of setbacks he simply tells himself "I've got to work harder". The director questions if getting too deep is Bill Gates's flaw. But I think its this relentless attitude that makes him the most likely to succeed in any of the problems that he is trying to solve (e.g. Sanitation, Disease Eradication, Climate Change).

The documentary gives a clear insight into the challenges in solving some of the world's most significant and long-lasting problems.

I absolutely enjoyed it and it kept me wanting for more! I think it is a must watch for Engineers! Being a programmer myself, I have huge respect for Bill Gates, and I had a lot of fun watching it. It showed me that Bill Gates is a smart man, and also a human who had to go through many trials, but he is a relentless optimist and has equally relentless determination to pursue what he wants.

The documentary is a love story, but even so one can't feel anything but awe. Even in a cynical world such as ours has become the transformation of Bill Gates, his growing up, through the hubris of youth into the maturity of the philantropist he has become is both heart warming and inspiring. The man who wanted to rule and change the world has become the man who wants to better and save it. That is true life superhero material and given his phenomenal characterstics which are his superpowers...i am impressed. But the inspiration goes beyond. We are not all Bill Gates, neither in character nor means but we can all use our specific characteristics and skills to fight for a better world. Bill Gates accomplishes a feat of no little means through his participation in this project. He inspires. Thank you Bill Gates for being here. The documentary is not perfect. The back and forth leaps through time and focus can be distracting but I can understand the artistic choice in that. All in all highly interesting...and have I mentioned inspiring?...
