Does this world belong to assholes?

The first half is a super-long story version of the main theme of the "American Dream", which can be referred to the socialist core values ​​propaganda film of "Liberty, Democracy, Prosperity and Power" in my country; "Social Network" retro version.

"The business world is a dog bites a dog, intrigues. When I see a competitor's failure, I will step on it again. Can you do it?"

This question from Kroc, the McDonald brothers who believe in honest business and careful sailing for thousands of years, cannot answer.

how about you?

Of course, it will not be naive enough to think that society is a playground with unicorns and marshmallow rainbows, but it will not be too extreme to think that all darkness is only about profit.

But this not-so-great film succeeds in at least one place: it portrays a lively American businessman in pursuit of success.

He is so ambitious and unscrupulous that he only has himself in his eyes, so much so that he has no hesitation in abandoning his wife and business partners who have always supported him.

In my shallow life experience, this is the frank selfishness characteristic of most men. I only want what I want, I can endure ridicule and contempt in order to compete for resources, but at the same time, I can turn against my so-called friends at any time for the sake of differences in interests, throwing the paste hamburgers on each other, or even give up the glamorous club membership, and idal rich Complete break.

Does this remind you of anything? The supervisor who said "I don't care what you guys want"? That boss who occasionally growls?

what do you want? No matter how hard and negative, what do you want?

Ditch the emphasis (or not at all) on the opinions of others and remember one thing: how can I climb higher on the social ladder? No one succeeds by being a bad guy.

When a wretched, pitiful wife who is always standing in the corner is still full of fighting spirit, just thinking about herself and discarding useless emotions Kroc, it's up to you.

The Founder quotes

  • Ray Kroc: I was by your restaurant today too.

    Jerry Cullen: And, what about it?

    Ray Kroc: What about it? You got corn on the cob, you got fried chicken.

    Jerry Cullen: People love fried chicken.

    Ray Kroc: Do they? Well let them go somewhere where they serve fried chicken and your kitchen is filthy, like what the hell is the matter with you guys?

    Jerry Cullen: Look, Ray, I don't know about you, but I'm retired.

    Jack Horford: You said this would be a good place to park our money. It's an investment.

    Jerry Cullen: If I wanted a job, I would have applied for a cook position.

    Ray Kroc: You couldn't get a job as a cook at one of my restaurants.

    [Ray angrily throws the burger at Jerry and storms off]

  • Ray Kroc: [during the end credits] Nobody had eight multi-mixers in one business. So I went out there. And I was amazed! They were serving hamburgers for fifteen cents. French fries for ten cents and milkshakes for twenty cents. And basically that was the menu, and I said, that's for me. Now I have ultimatums, you know. Except that I'd like to be able to say that. I bought the agreement back from them for two million, seven hundred thousand dollars. I got the name, the golden arches, basically it was a matter of me working longer and harder than anybody else. I'll take every resource that I have and I'll put it in and I'll go for broke if I believe in it. The only thing I could do besides play the piano, was to talk. What happened to my talk? It's not dog eat dog out there in that competitive world, it's more like rat eat rat.
