Bezos

First of all, I acknowledge that making anything except a straight factual biography on Bezos is an attempt in futility as there's no way it will reach people.

Bezos is a polarising figure as his story as a person equals that of Amazon, with all that it represents to different people: a success story, a villanous corporation, a pointless foray into commercial space flight, worker rights suppression, a consumer godsend, environmental disaster and so on.

Something that brushes past these topics having any other reason except factual authenticity is going to get a pushback.

To make up for dodging what makes Bezos polarising, the movie would have to be an exercise in art: acting, story writing, a human side of Bezos, going deep into personal issues, the make of the man and so on.

Long story short, this movie fails across the board. The acting is all over the place, I'd call it decent but decent is just not enough to save this. Cinematography is good ... but buried under bland writing and a story that brings nothing to the table.

There's really nothing here as everything that could potentially make people curious is just glossed over, including Bezos' divorce despite the fact that his wife was also a driving force behind his Amazon empire building. This point alone is unforgivable.

This slow paced movie tells the story of how Jeff Bezos founded Amazon. While rhe story itself is increadibly flat, it did manage to keep me interested throughout the movie, knowing how big Bezos and Amazon will become.

The production value of the movie is very low, but that's not the biggest problem for a character driven drama. The real problem is horrible acting and directing. Some moments seem taken from a Hallmark movie from the 90s, and many other moments are robotic and staged.

Overall it's a pretty weak film, but can be useful to pass the time on a slow night in, when you might be too tired to watch anything actually engaging.

The story was refreshingly truthful and grounded. It openly recognized the advantages the protagonist had, while also portraying the genuine hazards he faced, despite seemingly having no need to do so. It depicted, with authenticity, how plans often come together in a spontaneous manner. The exaggerated elements added a layer of enjoyment and were a delightful touch. Overall, the narrative presents an uplifting tale about life, daring, and self-respect that could inspire you in your own journey. The protagonist, though timid and awkward, possesses a spirit akin to a legendary warrior. This might unexpectedly stir a sense of boldness and masculinity. The underlying message is clear: never surrender, never settle, and pursue your goals with unyielding determination.

This movie reminds me of Silicon Valley season, It has a lot of challenges and struggles to get your first order. I feel some jumps in timeline, they could have shown how Bezos validate his idea that selling books was the business model he wants to adapt though he could start selling something else. How he came up with this idea and selling books was not even exciting at that time I suppose. I really want this movie to be dead honest and serious, I hope next part will cover more in depth of challenges he has to face, because this movie is just the beginning and I would recommend this movie to watch.

This is my first review ever on here. I just had to. I don't get why this was such a low budget movie. One of the biggest companies on the planet. And a movie about one of the richest men in the world. Yet the direction, the camera used, the cinematography, even the actors, everything is C class. At least casting could have made up for it but it was such a bad selection of cast. The only great acting was by Alex Mitchell. The rest of the actors seriously looked like they were selected out of school play and were reciting lines. I mean what in the world happened? This did no justice to Jeff Bezos's Legacy. I feel bad for all those that worked on it, sorry you were low balled for the production budget of this movie. Either that or the budget was very poorly used and some poor production decisions were made sorry to say. I hope there can be legitimate remake that actually does justice like the Steve Jobs movies.
