"Simplicity is the ultimate simplification" is the idea behind Apple, and the goal of the filmmakers. The documentary Welcome to Macintosh is about the history of Apple and the people who started it. It covers everything from the first Apple computer to the iPhone. In the movie they switch between narration and interviews with the original creators and fan boys.
The movie start with the two creators, Jobs and the Woz, it talks about their first computer and the premise behind it. Next it talks about the beginning of the company and the struggles it encountered. It continues with the era of the company where it didn't have Steve Jobs and how it was affected. The rest of the movie centers around the success it had when Steve Jobs was the ceo, how his ideas and perfectionism have turned some of the greatest products in computer history.
Throughout the movie they interviewed many of the original creators of the Apple company. These interviews really give you an in depth view of how the company is able to create such excellent products and continue to do so. One such interview ex engineer Jim Reekes talks about the diseases engineers have and why he had to leave. He claimed that engineers have an anti social disease that allows them to focus on their work. They also interviewed an Apple hoarder who had thousands of square feet of macs, you have to see it to even comprehend it. These interviews that are dispersed throughout the movie really are what make it so good, since they give you a real sense of the company and what makes it so successful.
Personally this movie is a must see for anybody especially and Apple lovers. It has everything you could want from the history of the company to interviews with the engineers to video of an Apple fanatics warehouse of Macs.
