There is a Netflix documentary about Bill Gates
One of the interesting facts about Bill Gates is that there is a Netflix film about him. A three-part Netflix documentary titled Inside Bill's Brain: Decoding Bill Gates will take you through Bill Gates' life. Inside Bill's Brain: Decoding, a three-part Netflix documentary by Davis Guggenheim. The movie Bill Gates addresses the obscurity of its subject. What drives one of the richest persons in the world? How was he shaped? How did he come to have such complete dominance over a fiercely competitive business that the US government sued Microsoft for violating antitrust laws?
Guggenheim sort of addresses all of that. Inside Bill's Brain spans about three hours and covers the fundamentals of Bill Gates' life, including his upbringing, education, the leadership of Microsoft, union with Melinda, and co-management of his philanthropic organization.
However, there are instances when it looks as though the main focus of this documentary is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Each episode of Inside Bill's Brain focuses on one of the foundation's main programs, such as eradicating polio, producing a cleaner, safer nuclear power source, or improving sewage conditions in underdeveloped nations. Each of the three segments quickly switches between interviews, biographical information, and behind-the-scenes footage of the Gates team's charitable endeavors. Even when there is no obvious relationship between the subjects, Guggenheim avoids using conventional transitions and instead bounces from one to the next.
The point, apparently, is to replicate Bill Gates’ thought processes. Having spent most of his adult life juggling multiple complicated projects, Gates doesn’t have the kind of mind that functions in neat, straight lines. At one point, Melinda even laughs at this series’s title, saying that her husband’s brain is as cluttered and chaotic as the cheap apartment he once shared with Paul Allen when the two were building Microsoft.
