I watched the movie "The Great Entrepreneur" today. This is the second time I have watched this movie. This time, the experience and feelings of watching the film are completely different from the first time I watched it. I have never watched it like I did before. Movies, I watched movies before, except that in 2014, I kept writing down my feelings every time I watched a movie for a year. I just marked that I had seen this movie after that.
At that time, the film reviews were also very superficial, and the movie viewing experience was also very straightforward, without connotation, and all the mastery of the film was also a rough line.
For example, when I watched this movie for the first time, I just felt that the protagonist abandoned his ex-wife when he had money. They are both 52 years old. Divorce at this time, more or less, is still unfair to the woman. There is also the fact that the protagonist can do anything for his own benefit. I hate the founder of McDonald's a little bit, and I don't even want to eat McDonald's anymore. It's ridiculous to think about it now.
Or stay on the judgment of the other party's right and wrong, the adult world only has advantages and disadvantages, there is no right or wrong. Right and wrong are the words of children, and only those with immature psychology can simply judge right and wrong.
And this second time I watched the movie, I understood persistence.
No matter what you do, you must persevere. I used to like watching movies, and I liked to write movie reviews after watching movies. Although the movie reviews were a bit simple, I didn’t persevere and stopped writing later.
For example, I like running and exercising. When I have a heavy job, I don’t exercise my body anymore, and there will be a psychological elephant who is constantly struggling and tells my body that you are too tired, don’t do it. Go exercise and take a good rest, so many good habits will be given up over time.
In the movie, if it weren't for the protagonist, if he insisted on starting his own business and was always in the catering industry, he would not have encountered such a good seed as McDonald's. If he gave up starting a business, there would not have been a McDonald's empire in the future. He was just an old man who played golf at a club. It was his persistence in starting a business that gave him such an opportunity to come into contact with McDonald's fast food.
The movie is actually divided into two lines. One bright line is the protagonist. From the beginning of selling its milkshake machine, to the discovery of such a McDonald's business opportunity, and then because of business problems, the house was mortgaged, and then he encountered the guidance of a noble, he Start buying land, register McDonald's company and McDonald's trademark.
This is the insistence of the protagonist. He is chasing a vision and a great American dream. He said that McDonald's should become a must-have symbol for Americans like the American flag and the church.
It was such a great dream that gave him a bigger strategic vision than just being a fast food chain.
Another dark line is also talking about persistence.
That is the two brothers who are the original McDonald's, they are also insisting, they have always adhered to their McDonald's rules, McDonald's standards, McDonald's can't use milkshakes with milk, and can't have other items, only coke, hamburger and potato. strip.
This is their strict requirements for quality control and products, and it is also what they have always insisted on.
The persistence of both the bright line and the dark line shows the importance of persistence. Although the two brothers lost McDonald's in the end, it was their final reward. If there was no protagonist, McDonald's would not have achieved today's achievements.
So, there is no right or wrong in the adult world. There are only pros and cons.
After seeing the above two lines, I know that I have to stick to what I can and should stick to now. As long as I stick to it, the accumulated gains will be huge.
For example, now recommending a movie every week, sharing a movie every week, and discussing and sharing this movie, the sparks from the collision also have all kinds of new understandings, whether it is about life or the workplace, There is always too much to supply itself with just structure.
There are three things that impressed me about the movie:
First, the protagonist in the movie is very good at discovering business opportunities. He discovered this business opportunity through his years of accumulation, and this business opportunity that made him shine, he also got special management rights. To create a McDonald's, this is his strategic vision. He even knows his own shortcomings. He knows that he is only a genius in operation, not a genius in creation, so his previous ventures were all failures.
Second, he found that the vision of talents was very poisonous. He made a man who was a Catholic but took the initiative to sell bibles with gold rims to others as a supervisor of his McDonald's management; he raised a man who seriously turned pancakes into a Later company CEO. He has a strong judgment on talents, that is, he is good at listening, observing talents, and putting the right people in the right positions.
Third, he knows to update his circle of friends. I don't want to waste my time with people whose values are different from my own, but focus all my energy on what I'm good at.
