Bezos

I struggle with how a man worth over $150 BILLION has a low budget movie made about him. It's disappointing and embarrassing. This movie should have had "A" list actors and actresses, popular music from that era, and more depth to the plot. Maybe I'm just not aware of the dynamics between billionaires and Hollywood...is there a "don't cross this line" between them or something? I would imagine that they rub elbows so I'm seriously confused why this movie wasn't made in blockbuster fashion. Instead it's cheesy with terrible acting and a terrible ending. I'm a huge Amazon fan so it feels personal that Jeff didn't invest more time, talent and money into telling me his origin story.

I was shocked to see that of all the ways Bezos could have showed his story to the world, this was the one he'd chosen.

The story isn't bad, of course, but the movie seems to be so poorly executed, from how it was directed, written and the acting.

The film talks about how Amazon started, from its very beginning. The nice part is to see his ex wife's input in the very early days, the amount of dedication they put into transforming an ideia into the company that it is today and the difficulties they faced. No doubt it is an inspiring story.... Just it was surprising to me that it seemed like a very low budget, weird project.

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.

I was very interested in watching this and expected it to be much better.

It took me 3 or 4 sessions to get through it, because my wife and kids kept complaining about how horrible it was, meaning, I had to watch it when they weren't in the room.

From the writing, the directing, the music, the editing, the pacing, to the performances by the actors, everything comes across like a "no budget" student film, which is disappointing, when you consider that there were other "limited location" movies to look to as examples,... GlenGarry Glen Ross, Talk Radio, 12 angry men, etc..

All of which that were able to create more entertaining and note worthy films, out of much smaller and more contained stories.

So many missed opportunities.

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.
