The story of McDonald's "founder" Ray Kroc explains the past life of McDonald's. The film's expression is relatively old-fashioned, and the entire successful process is outlined through a flat and straightforward narrative.
Focusing on a bright style, the first half is like an orderly symphony, with a slow and vibrant rhythm. The scene of the McDonald brothers and the others practicing and drawing blueprints on the tennis court was particularly impressive. It was humorous and exciting at the same time.
However, "the good times don't last long", and Ray Kroc's "wolf nature" in the second half will make people feel a little uncomfortable. As a relatively objective biographical film, there are inspirational elements, just like the speech on the vinyl record in the film - persistence, but also the vigilance and unscrupulous cruelty in the commercial war, which staged a collision of ingenuity and ambition.
"The Great Entrepreneur" can be said alongside another biopic, "The Social Network." The two films are both real-life biographies, two corporate founders, McDonald's vs. Facebook, late bloomers vs. youthful aspirations.
The style of the two is very different, the latter has a jumpy narrative rhythm and a cold texture. The dense amount of information is presented through high-speed editing and high-speed dialogue, and the story is thicker.
Unlike the former, which gradually moves towards "blackening", the latter continues the dark style of David Fincher and always walks on the black-bellied route. It's just that at the end of the film, it is also made up in the form of text narrative, so that people can taste it by themselves.
