In the end, the reason for not giving money was explained.

According to the data, Ray originally planned to give money, but his brother was unwilling to hand over the first store, so Ray went back on his words and didn’t give the money. Anyway, there was no contract.

The two brothers felt that what they had promised was to keep the original store, and Ray felt that what he could accept was not to keep the original store. They clashed because of this, so Ray backed off.

As for whether he deliberately said that the lawyer did not want to write this part into writing, then I don't know. It may be to keep a backhand for myself and see the performance of the second brother.

In addition, when Ray got angry, he opened an M directly opposite the original store, and it took six years to close the original store.

The film is a legendary story, plus starring NB. But there is a problem with the style, is it a drama or a legend? In the end is to praise or criticize this person? Is it plain expression or blank thinking? I don't think the director himself understood it.

In addition, the scene of this film is too heavy, and everywhere is clean, it feels very strange. If you want to express the sense of age, refer to the "Fargo" series.

The soundtrack is very qualified, especially the first paragraph, which is very brisk and passionate, which deceived me.

    Ray Kroc: It's not just the system, Dick. It's the name. That glorious name, McDonald's. It could be, anything you want it to be... it's limitless, it's wide open... it sounds, uh... it sounds like... it sounds like America. That's compared to Kroc. What a crock. What a load of crock.
