English Classes with TED Morgan Spurlock

English Classes with TED Morgan Spurlock Most people know Morgan Spurlock for his popular documentary film, Supersize Me, in which he spent 30 days eating nothing but McDonalds for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Since then Spurlock has done many interesting projects, and is now working on another film, The Greatest Movie Ever Sold, a documentary about branding, advertising and product placement that is, ironically, financed by brands, advertising and product placement.Morgan recently gave a TED talk about the making of the film, for which he sold the naming right to on Ebay. He spent some of the talk focusing on branding, but for most of it he talks about the difficulties of making the film, and his chief point seems to be that it is important to take risks in life. Below youll find the TED video, and some questions about the video. We are now regularly using these videos as part of my advanced English conversation classes.
