Remarkable
I just finished watching this movie right off of Amazon's website, one of the dot coms that survived. Througout the entire movie I can feel the energy, frustration, anxiety, excitement, and all types of other emotions from the characters in the movie. I kept asking myself, "did this really happen". That's because I did not read the description of the movie until after I watched it. I'm not sure this movie was motivational or sad. But the arrangement and flow of the movie is like impeccable. From the start of the movie to the end, the movie its like a total attention grabber. There was never a dull moment throughout this entire movie. I wouldn't mind watching it again.. Very very entertaining. Even at the end, I was waiting for more. Also, as someone else stated, I wish they would've covered more of the startup. The movie starts with the CEO of the new dot-com company quitting his job so that he could work full time for his business. He has a high school buddy who partners with him on this joint venture. But by this time, they already had a solid idea of what they wanted the business to do, and who they could contact to obtain millions of dollars in fundings. My thing is, how did they get to that point. If you are at the point where you are quitting your job, that means your company is more than off the ground, you have some signicant capital so that not only your company stays a float for a while, but you personally can live strictly off the capital of either your company or you have a nice chunk of life savings to hold you over. Ohh also, at the beginning of the movie, the company already has 8 employees. They were doing really good.. I'm not even sure how, because they didn't even have a product yet.
