life is not cool

I watched it on and off for two days. The two brothers' insistence on McDonald's products and their blocking and regulations on new products made people annoyed, and it was once unbearable to watch. It is right to insist on good things, and it is unbelievable to refuse to be flexible at all. In the emotional part, the husband and wife have completely lost the separation caused by their common language. The original partner in the film is like a clown who was abandoned by the audience. When a woman is in her fifties (assuming they are of the same age), is it worthless? Think about it, the other half of the business is successful, and you still have to get a divorce without doing anything, which is quite heart-wrenching. Of course, feelings cannot be forced.

To be a successful enterprise, in addition to having courage, you must also seize the opportunity to kill your opponents, no matter how dark the means. The same is true of real companies, and they must be vigilant at all times. At the end of the film, the protagonist has completely become the villain in my heart. The reality is not that there is no way for Shuangwen to make the bad people punished, and the good people will be rewarded.

Finally, never trust any verbal or handshake promises that are not signed and stamped in black and white.

    Facts have proved that in order to start a successful business, in addition to brilliant and innovative ideas, marketing and business methods are very important. The McDonald's brothers' stable vision could not support Ray's ambition, and the ending was also lonely. As characters who have been dug into the corner to varying degrees, it is a pity that Patrick Wilson and Nick Offerman did not appear in the same frame~

    The story of the anti-American dream has been turned into a lukewarm story. No wonder this film was not mentioned in the awards season. Such a topical story and characters with complex personalities could have been featured in a big book, but the main creator has no talent. A waste of Keaton's enthusiasm.

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!
