Movie Review of "The Founder"

 

  

I would like to introduce The Founder. The Founder is an American movie released in 2016. The story is set in 1954 America and is based on a true story. This is the story of a hamburger shop in San Bernardino County, California that became a franchise and spread all over the world. The main character is Ray Kroc played by Michael Keaton and elder brother Mac McDonald is played by John Carroll Lynch, and the younger brother Dick McDonald is played by Nick Offerman. And the director is John Lee Hancock.

After the 1940s, when automobiles became commonplace, restaurants in the United States became popular, where young women called Carhops put on roller skates and brought meals to customers' cars. However, the waiting time was long and the orders were often wrong. At that time, there were few fast food restaurants and many people didn't know about it. In 1954, Ray Kroc was a milkshake mixers salesman. But the mixers didn't sell at all. One day, the McDonald brothers, who run a hamburger shop, ordered eight milkshake mixers from Ray. When Ray went to McDonald's, it was a hamburger shop with a rational system that he had never seen before. Ray was fascinated by McDonald's  and signed a franchise agreement with them on the condition that all changes must be approved by the McDonald brothers. However, this encounter with Ray becomes a nightmare for the McDonald brothers.

 

This movie tells the story of McDonald's from it’s beginnings to becoming the McDonald's of the world. Actually, the name McDonald's is different from the founder's name. Why didn't the founder name the hamburger shop after himself? Why did he choose the name McDonald's? This is the highlight. This movie isn't a scary story, but you will feel fear of human obsession. If you want your business to succeed and expand, talent alone may not be enough, Patience and action may be more important. Is the McDonald's founder a hero or a monster? Please watch the movie.
