Kid, king, liar

The director and leading actor Morgan Spurlock did one thing in this film, that is, to magnify a fact that we know very well, but intentionally or unintentionally ignore it, magnify it and place it in front of us clearly. The reasons and conditions for comforting myself were all eliminated by Morgan in the film. Only the facts are in front of us. There is no escape and no excuses. What should we do at this time?
When I was watching this film, I was chatting with a girl on WeChat. Like most girls, she often vowed to lose weight. When I described this film, her first reaction turned out to be: I really want to eat McDonald's now! This girl is a representative of ordinary people like you and me. When faced with temptation, she knew how harmful it was, but she couldn't help being attracted. At this time, it often only needs an excuse or a small push, such as: eating once in a while is nothing, or I invite you to eat together. We will be completely conquered by that temptation, indulge our own desires, and even fall into total destruction.
But to be honest, this kind of "fallen", like the one mentioned above, is indeed not a big deal. What I'm afraid of is that it is frequently used once in a while, or used in turns for different reasons, then it is really bad. And those fast food companies also understand the truth. They know that in this age of advanced information and technology, people will know the shortcomings of Western fast food, but people will still be attracted to Western fast food. A reason, a reason that people can persuade or even comfort themselves. So fast food companies use advertising as a weapon to either increase temptation or play emotional cards, and even others can completely ignore science, self-proclaim health, hygiene, and safety, have basic health knowledge and people who have worked in fast food restaurants will Know how ridiculous this is. However, it seems that fast food companies don’t care about all this, nor are they the purpose of advertising. Their purpose of advertising is that when people face the temptation of fast food, a reason will appear in their minds, and this reason comes from their advertisements. , Then they succeeded.
What Morgan Spurlock did in this film is to show us if these fast food companies are really successful, then how much harm it will bring to us, and he has to show it like a specimen in the film Show us what a person who is completely trapped in American fast food will end up like. Of course, it will not be as good as those promised in the advertisements. Of course, there are some extremes in his approach, which is why I said he magnified the facts. This is also because of some facts if you do not enlarge it, people will still choose to ignore it, because the temptation is too great.
However, it is difficult for me to see whether this documentary is a success. Undoubtedly, as far as the documentary is concerned, it is very good, it is rigorous, scientific, and enjoyable. But its role is so limited. The fast food giants it exposes are still expanding their own chain stores, and even their business methods are still innovating. The advertisements that provide people with reasons are also full of tricks. It is difficult for me to find a high-definition version of this film on the Internet.
Maybe this is our society, the kid shouting "he is not wearing clothes" is just an ordinary kid, but the one with the bare buttocks is the king, and the one who grabs huge profits is a liar.
