Review of The Founder (2016) by Deanomite — 01 Jan 2020
This is a good movie if you ever wondered if all psychopaths look like Hannibal Lector. The definition of a psychopath is someone who acts in their own self interest 100% of the time. Michael Keaton absolutely owns this role, he plays it with a charm and energy that captures a character no one else could play.
He is essentially correct that there is something magical about McDonalds, whether you like their food or not. Realistically there is nothing to like about their food, but they do feed 1% of the planet on any given day, at the cost of the environment and the planet itself.
It is worth considering what in their image is so appealing that people line up all day every day for their garbage, and the genesis of the idea is captured here very well in the twinkle in Michael Keaton's eye.
