I've seen fewer movies, so this kind of ambiguous movie is still new. Whether it is right or wrong, right or wrong, moviegoers have their own trade-offs and evaluations. Let me tell you my own point of view first, the real creators are buried, but their name Li Daitao resounds all over the world, which is extremely sad and ridiculous. The ugly face of capital, the profit-seeking nature of the market, and the failure to keep pace with the times will eventually be eliminated in the times. Ray is a businessman, while the brothers are more like inventors and researchers. It's bound to be different.
The story itself
is the history of McDonald's. I would have thought it was an inspirational film, but I was inexplicably angry after watching it. The two brothers lived a down-to-earth life and created a fast food model. The great invention that no one has ever seen before is really admirable. At the same time, in order to stick to the essence, we regard food as life. Although Rick had the idea of ​​expansion, he was too tired to manage and the inhuman reasons he put in place stopped him. Looking back now, this is also a manifestation of human laziness, not perseverance.
And seeing the business opportunity ray appeared, on the one hand, rick wanted to realize his dream, and on the other hand, he wanted to make a fortune. The two sides hit it off, and Ray couldn't stop in excitement. With the expansion of the business, and the incompatibility of the business philosophy. Ray finally counted on the two brothers. Through the method of real estate, he controlled all the stores. The person who made the move here is also a genius. This road is not available, find another way. In the end, the two brothers struggled to compete and sold their own brands. The last 1% of the equity has not been obtained. And ray abandoned his wife, a friend's wife, and at the same time the business was successful, and he became the founder of McDonald's.
The poor inventor eventually disappeared silently in time, and his own store can't even use the name of McDonald's, how sad.
To exist is to be reasonable. So, in this sense, did the two brothers go astray and lead to this result?
The film itself
First of all, the first third of the film, the story is tight, dragged in the middle, and a little off topic. The ending goes back to the story itself. So, not a good story to tell. Editing is the general idea of ​​narration. The pace is slow.
The film itself is not brilliant, the story is a slightly heart-stopping entrepreneurial story.

The Founder quotes

  • Mac McDonald: [Giving Kroc his first tour of McDonald's] Speed. That's the name of the game. The first stop for every McDonald's hamburger is the grill. Manned by two cooks, whose sole job it is to cook those all-beef beauties to perfection. Meanwhile, as the patty cooks, our dressers get the buns ready. Watch out. Burger crossing!

    McDonald's Employees: Burger crossing!

    Mac McDonald: Every McDonald's burger has two pickles, a pinch of onions, and a precise shot of ketchup and mustard.

    Ray Kroc: [Points to the ketchup and mustard despensers] Now, where did you get those?

    Mac McDonald: We made them.

    Ray Kroc: Made them?

    Mac McDonald: Yes, custom-built. The whole kitchen is. Next, this is the finishing station where we put the whole thing together. And...

    [Leads Ray to the end of the line, holding up a wrapped hamburger]

    Mac McDonald: Voila! A fresh, delicious burger from grill to counter in 30 seconds.

  • Mac McDonald: This is not your company, Ray!
