I enjoyed the movie, and assumed much of it was dramatized.
For me, the most memorable moment in the movie was when (IIRC, it's been a while) Kroc tightens his grip on the quality control at the restaurants, and introduces disposable bags, plates, and utensils. There's a short scene of people's initial stunned, disbelieving reaction to disposables: "You're just supposed to throw it away?"
That small scene really stuck with me as kind of indictment of modern waste. Today we don't think twice about throwing away a cup we drank out of for 20 seconds. In the past such waste was shocking and absurd.
- tptacek 9y agoIt's a good startup movie! Not in the same tier as "Ghostbusters" or "24 Hour Party People, but a good rival to "Tucker".
- username223 9y ago> I enjoyed the movie, and assumed much of it was dramatized. Same, and this multi-thousand-word nit-pick is just weird. E.g. "Movie asserts: Joan is in her early 30s when they meet. NO. She was 28. Ray was 55." Does 28 vs. 32 really matter? Neither is okay by the "half plus seven" rule. Seriously, some people need to chill out and enjoy a Michael Keaton movie.

This reminded me of Hocking's analysis showing that the energy to make and clean reusable dishes can often exceed the energy spent making the cheapest disposables. Even though one answer may seem absurd, hidden energy costs can make environmental cost/benefit calculations really unintuitive.
