@trademarkfactory

Because litigation is a business tool. Law is never about who's right and who is wrong. It's about what can you actually do about it. But as Ray said in the movie, "So you don't have a check for a million dollars in your pocket?" It's not that he outright stole the company from the brothers... Also, I'm sure he'd have given them a much larger role in the company had they not resisted his attempts to grow the business to what it is today.

@broadstreet21
@broadstreet21 3 года назад
True. Well, if the brothers were determined, they easily could have courted their original franchisees (not recruited by Ray) to file a class action lawsuit. They just need a good lawyer to do the heavy lifting. And they could simply contact Ray's franchisees, get them to join in the action (many of them would probably risk losing their lease to take down this con man). All the brothers needed was proof of their original ownership. It could have been done. But the brothers lacked the drive Kroc had. All it took was a half-loaded "You can't sue me" dare and Mac had a major diabetic shock.

UnknownMudkip, based on what happened in the movie (I don't know for sure what happened in real life), I don't see Ray Kroc as the villain. Kroc worked his butt off, and the McDonald brothers offered him no real support at all. The McDonald brothers probably could have been billionaires, and shared in Kroc's success, if they only would have recognized what it was he was trying to achieve, instead of reluctantly being dragged along every step of the way. Heck, the McDonald brothers should have been so grateful as to what Kroc had done for them, they should have made him a partner, and given him whatever reasonable financial backing he needed. It was Kroc, though, that took all the risks. I can't blame Kroc for eventually harboring bitterness against the McDonald brothers and for finally taking the company right out from under them, for a paltry $2.7 million (considering the company is worth at least $40 billion today). Again, though, this is based on what I saw in the movie.

The real question is, would the McDonald brothers have been better off if Ray left them where he had found them. More likely than not, it's actually Ray who made people around the world, decades later, care about the McDonald brothers story. Did he steamroll them on his way to megasuccess, yes, for sure. Does it make him a villain? I don't think so.
@jondstewart
@jondstewart 6 лет назад
The people in this movie were too real to be any real heroes or villains. To me, Ethel Kroc was the most heartbreaking character in the movie. She stayed faithful to Ray on a technical level, but was depressed, unassertive and hated his endless ambition. She wanted him to be content with what they had and travel and he wanted more and more power and expansion. And he just threw her away and gave her the house and car.
@rs72098

*Fun Fact to make you feel better:* 2.7 million in 1961 is worth around $17,480,000 in 2021. The McDonald's brothers got an ok deal, and died very wealthy. One brother even had no bitter feelings towards Krok. Krok was somewhat of a terrible person, but he did expand the franchise much further than the McDonald's brothers, and most people won't ever acknowledge him as the true founder. If it's any consolation the lawyer who swindled the McDonald brothers out of a royalty fee, was also pushed out of the franchise by Krok as well. I guess some tales will have mixed endings.

The problem was (I don't know how true it is); Ray Kroc kept trying to innovate and increase the power of the brand under their control, but he kept loosing money, he nearly went bankrupt. They didn't appreciate his efforts and they kept trying to stop him from developing the brand unless they approved his decisions. He was stuck between a rock and a hard place. He had no choice. I don't blame him. He took all the risks and they kept forcing him into a hard place. He had no choice but to circumvent them.
@My-Name-Isnt-Important

Richard and Maurice McDonald just wanted a small little restaurant, and didn't have any ambition. Ray Kroc saw the massive potential, and had the drive and ambition to make it the massive empire it became. You're right though about the McDonald's. At every turn Ray Kroc was using his own money to try and expand McDonald's and make it better. So much of his own money, that he was in financial trouble. The brothers constantly just shrugged off everything Ray was doing to make them more wealthy and make the business bigger and better. Ray Kroc saved McDonald's ultimately, and made it a household name. The business wouldn't have made it into the 60s, with the way the Brothers were running it.

The Brothers just wanted a wholesome restaurant that they could make a living off of and be passionate about, and they wanted the food associated with their name and restaurants to be real and made the right way. *Kroc forced himself into the situation and broke his contract just so he could become wealthy, and he didn't care who he had to step on and steal from to meet that goal.*

This was incredibly bittersweet. The brothers were sitting on a gold mine but were content to leave things as they were. But had they gotten their way, McDonalds would not have been allowed to grow into the giant that it is today. Kroc saw exactly how much potential the restaurant had and was willing to do anything to achieve the dream that lay before him despite the wishes of the original owners. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. And most of us would do anything to keep such chances from passing us by.

the reason he is technically a “hero” per-say even tho he was also kind of a villain, is because he took it into his own hands to make that name of McDonald’s his own and make it into something that no one (not even the brothers) thought was possible. Not many people at all can do that only the top 1% and those with the sort of determination that Kroc had. He still did it in a horrible way but it’s a harsh world out there and he just took it into his own hands. Persistence and determination that is the only way...

@kevinmach730 2 года назад
I watched the movie and don't entirely agree. They were both focused on seperate components of what it takes to make any business successful. The brothers were focused on quality relative to price, which equates to value. Ray was a better businessman, or ended up being so, and was focused on profit/growth, which all businesses also need. Finding that balance between the two is a key thing for all businesses and both need to part of that strategy. Where I disagree: It's intetresting you used the word "corner", because Kroc was cutting corners in the name of profit. That was the biggest source of contention between the two groups that I noticed in the movie. In the end, his strategy proved to be the right one, but he continued violated their agreements along the way. If anything, I would say Kroc backed them into a corner.

Completely different story. Tesla just happens to work at Edison's company for a while. The battle only started when Tesla went independent and came out with his AC, which Edison saw as a threat to his own DC system, which was true, and he tried to torpedo AC's reputation to protect his business. It was a nasty move on the part of the man, but Edison was already successful and established his invention system well before Tesla came in. There's no parallel between this and that story at all. Interesting fact about the two of them. Many saw Tesla as the quiet genius against the brash American Edison. That is very true, but Edison was obsessed with his work, going to office in mismatched shoes and unkempt attire. Meanwhile, Tesla was a socialite, extremely popular, impeccably dressed, eloquent in speech, frequently hosting parties and many love to hangout with him and him with them. By any measures, Edison was what we considered a geek, while Tesla was the cool, hip type of genius in the vein of Steve Jobs.

My roommate has a Samsung Galaxy tablet and I can’t stand using it to stream Chromecast or other content because it takes forever to load a single app, meanwhile everything is quick and a simple breeze on iPad. I don’t disagree that Apple is overpriced, especially their laptops, as you can get a PC with a high end GPU for the same price as a regular MacBook. But they can get away with charging those prices because they have a reputation for quality. Some might argue that Apple gets away with it because it’s fashionable, and they are...but fashionable isn’t going to carry a company for 15 years. In the late 90’s and early 2000’s, Apple was a complete joke. They were literally on the verge on going bankrupt and everything was about Microsoft.

Thank you for sharing this. You're 100% correct. It'd be interesting to see if (and when) McDonald's re-enters the Russian market under its own name. I think they made a mistake by leaving the way they did. By the time the war ends and Russia is no longer the world's pariah, the McDonald's brand will have been so tarnished and diluted there that it would be hard to regain the market share they've had. And on top of that, they will need to compete with a chain of restaurants that the Russians will come to recognize as the "New McDonald's." I really don't think they've thought it through. McDonald's brand is NOT just the name and the Golden Arches. It's the experience. So how will "Vkusno i Tochka" coexist with McDonald's when McDonald's is ready to come back?

Plot twist, even Kroc didn't really know what the secret of McDonald's success was. He was fond of saying it was the name in interviews, but actually a lot of what his character says in this scene isn't really true. Other people HAD taken the McDonald brother's system and succeeded without the name. Burger King was started in 1953 after James McLamore visited the exact same San Bernardino McDonald's location, a year before Kroc discovered it. At the time this scene is set (1961) Burger King had about as many locations and was worth about the same as McDonald's was. Not to mention Dairy Queen, KFC and A&W, which all predated the McDonald's concept and much larger than McDonald's until the 1970s. The real estate model Sonneborn came up with was the true revolution, as that was genuinely pretty unique in the industry at that point and allowed McDonald's to grow incredibly quickly, and gave the central office a huge influx of capital, which allowed them to set up one of the largest advertising budgets in the industry, which made McDonald's a household name by the 1970s. The name could have been anything - Google, a nonsense word, is valued even higher than McDonald's today. The McDonald's name was worth buying out in 1961, but it wasn't the name itself, it was what Kroc and his executives had made it.

According to the movie (if the depicted events were real) Kroc wanted the brothers to be successful along with him but they stuck to their limited ideals and did nothing to help him when he was struggling to sell the franchise concept, they rejected his efforts to help the franchisees save money along the way and left him alone, so I think they got what they deserved, however they became millionaires in 1961, something that can not be considered a failure. Read somewhere that neither of the brothers had children, so the 1% royalties in perpetuity eventually became a moot point.

@@trademarkfactory are you implying that there wouldn’t have been enough profits at McDonald’s to properly cut the McD bros in? No reason that relationship couldn’t have been win-win.

@@neilyaremchuk6798 I am implying that "properly" is subjective. Your opinion as to what the brothers' "proper cut" should have been would be different from someone else's. If anything, it was the brothers' fault for pushing Ray away from the "family."

Kroc was a dick yes but if it was not for him.. You aint got no Big Mac Quarter Pounder and all the other good stuff.. It's just business and his vision are wide and bold. I felt sorry for the two brothers. But the problem with the two is.. They did not see it the way Mr. Kroc see the potential of this magnificent brand. Oh well can i have a chicken nugget please.

@@trademarkfactory psst! Everything is a mess because the government is run by rich corporate sociopaths who run mega corporations in the private sector. So the system is oligarchy and the government leaves workers and small businesses behind. At this point the government might as well just be sock puppets covered on company logos. They are mouth piece for the 1%. Nothing more.

It's hard to be passionate about a technical improvement. It's much easier to be moved by a big idea, a crazy dream, represented by a brand.

I love this movie but it’s basically The Social Network. One person with drive and ambition forces out the overly cautious party that has the ability to slow everything down.

Trademark Factory+ Oh I saw the movie when it first came out. I know why he felt antagonized with the brothers, but it was their restaurant... their decision. Then again, McDonald's would have never been what is was if he was nicer sure.
