Claroscuros of a millionaire and philanthropist

There is no doubt that it is a controversial character. Many hate him for having created a kind of operating monopoly on computers. Others praise without question his brilliant mind and his contribution to the modern world. In the middle, it is Bill Gates Under the Magnifying Glass, Netflix mini series that tries to show both its controversial side and its contribution as philanthropist worldwide.

In 2008, after moving away somewhat from the monster he created, the multinational software and computer technology Microsoft, the multi millionaire dedicated his efforts and much of his fortune to help discard problems such as lack of health and polio from the world, situations that result in the death of millions of children, especially in Africa and other poor areas of the Planet.

Bill Gates is a complex character and in this series of three chapters we are getting to know him better and learning how his head works through his own voice and that of his close ones, like his wife and partner Melinda, and her sisters

We learned about the difficulties of this left-handed person to socialize, of the conflicts with his parents for being so intraverted and almost not leaving his room as a boy, of his teenage conflicts as a smart and conceited child, and of his latent coldness and inability to show himself emotionally.

Interesting, but little inquisitive

The truth is that this docuserie directed by the winner of an Oscar Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth, He Named Me Malala) It could have been more inquisitive, but it is understood that something has the approval of Bill Gates.

What yes, sometimes leads us to say that well paid There are Microsoft patents that charge us periodically if those resources are effectively going to such noble and great causes as those that occur in production.

An impeccably made series, as it should be something I leave according to Gates, a almost pathological hipster, which establishes similarities between their youth obsessions for solving mathematical problems and computational codes with their current efforts to find him back to universal insoluble difficulties to date.
