Hello everyone.
I invite you all to watch this pretty nice movie so that you can comment on the blog, thus promoting a good interaction with your virtual peers, and, at the same time, practicing your critical thinking while writing in English.
Here is the link to the trailer: The Final Scene (You can find the film on PopCorn Time ).
Other sites you can watch the movie:
a) Films online
b) Mega Filmes
c) Vizer.Me
d) Megafilmes.Org
In order to have in mind some ideas for comments, I'll post some questions while you watch the movie:
1) How did Ray Kroc get to know about McDonald's restaurant?
2) How was the relationship between Ray Kroc and the McDonald brothers all along the movie?
3) How was Ray's relationship with his wife? Did he have friends? How was the relationship with them?
4) Take notes of some difficult situations for both Ray and the McDonald brothers. Was it possible to solve? How?
5) What kind of mistakes do you think Ray and the brothers made?
6) Did you like the story end? Why?
This link shows an interview with the author Lisa Napoli of her book " Ray & Joan: The Man Who Made the McDonands Fortune and the Woman Who Gave it All Away". There are some points in the film different from the book. It's also possible to listen to the whole interview. Check it out!
Note: Please try to watch the video and post your comments in 15 days (from July 8th to July 22).
Have a great time having fun and practicing English!
Hope to see your live participation here.
Best,
Flávia
