硅谷变革

如果你对硅谷那段“车库创业”的岁月只停留在书本上，这部《硅谷变革》会把你拽回现场。这片子适合对“硅谷到底怎么来的”有好奇心的人看，比如你平时爱读科技博客、或者玩过树莓派，肯定会觉得这帮老头儿的故事比科幻片还带劲。导演刻意保留受访者停顿、修正甚至相互矛盾的细节，将历史呈现为待检验的切片而非结论。 这部片子采用口述历史搭配大量从未公开的档案影像，叙事节奏像翻阅一本褪色的工作日志——没有夸张的配乐，只有键盘敲击声和偶尔的笑声。Bruce Damer、Lee Felsenstein和Andy Hertzfeld本人出镜，没有表演痕迹，当赫兹菲尔德掏出当年Macintosh的早期草图时，手指微微发抖的细节比任何戏剧都动人。 适合对科技史有真实兴趣的观众，尤其是那些厌倦了“改变世界”口号、想看看芯片背后的人情世故的人。

　　This documentary tells the forgotten stories of some of the most influential personal computer pioneers in the San Francisco Bay Area. In the late 1960s, big mainframe computers owned by large corporations and the government were seen as tools of control. The Hippie movement and the anti-Vietnam war protests served as a hotbed for a revolutionary idea: creating an affordable home computer to be used by ordinary people as a counterbalance to Big Brother. Well, the rest is history, but what has happened to the early ideals and the initial ethos of free sharing? As one of the visionaries puts it: "It's true that what I helped to create is today's establishment. That's what I was trying to get rid of: the establishment."
