tucker represent the man and his dream be an expose on this idea of the american dream . to be honest and i would never even heard of tucker before see this and but it turn out that he a man that decide to build a new type of car that would revolutionise the car industry . naturally and he face much opposition from the bad guy along the way and but in the end good win out and tucker get his car make and revolutionise the auto industry forever . oh say and do that star spangle banner yet wave . sing it with me now . jeff bridge be apple pie personify a the title character while a patriotic american that want to live the american dream . francis ford coppola create a lovely 40 style that be please to the eye and give the film a very upbeat attitude . the stylishness of the picture come at the expense of substance and however and and that make the film hard to like because there isn not a lot of character for the audience to connect with . the american dream hold over tucker and the way that he continually get pull down lend it a sort of substance and a it a comment on how adversity always exist and but it not very personal and doesn not make the film easy to like . the film be also rather poorly plot and with it all go well until we get to about the hour mark and then it take a horrible downturn and almost into the realm of bore while this be a far cry from the godfather film for coppola . the film get a little too chirpy at time as well and which will annoy and not intrigue and especially for the non patriotic american in the audience . don not get me wrong and this film isn not terrible by a long way but it isn not particularly good either and despite a lovely style and coppola can not take the ball and deliver on the substance front as well . a shame and but there you go .
