It remains fascinating to see how well the big international commercial chains are taking shape. Often times that starts with a tiny drop on a huge baking sheet – to stay on McDonald’s terms. Obviously The founder a little over the top and dramatized here and there, but the story remains the same. A man mainly benefits from the work of two predecessors. This ensures that Ray Kroc, played beautifully by Michael Keaton, doesn’t always sound so likeable. Ultimately, however, you should also admire his commercial instinct.
