They said, \u201cMilton Hershey, you will never be a successful chocolatier, and you will be unable to mass produce this previously aristocratic treat for the unwashed hordes.\u201d But he proved them all wrong, according to the trailer for Angel Studio\u2019s new movie Hershey. These corporate biopics have cropped up so frequently in the past few years that they\u2019ve already received full-length parodies, as in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/jerry-seinfeld-s-cereal-comedy-unfrosted-is-just-a-li-1851452554\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jerry Seinfeld\u2019s Pop-Tart movie<\/a>, but you\u2019re unlikely to find any of that snark here. The trailer for Hershey is as earnest as they come, depicting Milton as the best, kindest capitalist there is, someone who refused to cut wages even with his back against the wall.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This is nothing against the real Hershey, who, at least from some quick Googling, was well-respected not just for his business acumen but for his philanthropy. Still, this is an Angel Studios joint, a company that touts its \u201cvalues-based\u201d programming, which can range anywhere from The Sound Of Freedom to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/animal-farm-andy-serkis-barnyard-rap-opening-song\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CGI-animated Animal Farm<\/a>. Hershey\u2018s trailer doesn\u2019t outwardly preach Christianity, but it\u2019s obviously highlighting the value of hard work, heterosexual marriage, and American capitalism. Also, Richard Kind is there.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hershey stars Finn Wittrock as Milton Hershey and Alexandra Daddario as Catherine \u201cKitty\u201d Hershey. It opens in theaters on November 25, the day before Thanksgiving.\u00a0<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"They called him crazy.
