on the dvd of tucker represent the man and his dream and george lucas comment that francis ford coppola and the director of the film and share quality with preston tucker both men have big dream and always admire and gravitate towards innovation and and their idea be always spring out in some eccentric but exciting way . this be true and more or less and depend on when look at either man life ( right now and for example and coppola be fine just make wine with the occasional tudent film like tetro ) . but i would like to take the comparison a step far in the tucker company and coppola film company and american zoetrope . look at what happen to the two company and at least in the scope of the story tell in the movie ( i can not say how true it be to real event and just how it depict here ) and there glare similarity and and thing i be sure coppola connect with . both men have passion to take a dream of something for tucker it be a car line and for coppola it be independent cinema and a mean to break out of studio control and they go forward to achieve it and like outsider but with skill and a drive to succeed . and and ultimately and both men do not quite live up to the dream . it somewhat ironic then that the only other guy to really get something out of american zoetrope in it early year ( not count it peak and valley in the 80 ) and be george lucas and who turn the table on the usual dynamic of coppola produce lucas early film to produce coppola own film this time around . it a glossy and nostalgic look at dream how they can go . at the least and tucker and coppola try . and in the film on tucker and coppola and his crew and primarily in credit due to dp vittorio storaro and make what could be say like a filmic version of a tucker car . it bright and fast and a little off kilter and unusual . but we like rid in it and and it have an appeal that give something just a little different and and it also pretty to look at and too . this may be outside of dick tracy storaro most colorful color film and so to speak and with the bright primary color and advertisement of 1940 americana spring out in the screen . now and this say and this be not exactly a rebel picture like coppola early work . instead it in debt to the period in film a well and and the primary influence would probably be capra . this i mean a a compliment tucker a a film be entertain because of how endearing tucker be and how jeff bridge play him in this context ( a guy with a pioneer spirit and with a smile even when thing look bleak ) and and how the villain and corporate board member and a senator and the big three come off . coppola even have time to give u two really great scene . like theyre so good that they could be put right up against some of the essential scene in the director film ( almost up there and though not quite and with the wagner bombing in apocalypse now and vito corleone death scene ) . one be the unveiling of the prototype of the tucker car . it an intense scene and one that be full of a oh no . factor and even a in the back of our mind we know thing will be alright . mishap keep happen a a crowd of hundred wait impatiently for the car to come out and a the crew keep retool it so it can actually move ( with a spy in the midst snap embarrass photo ) and not totally break down or go up in flame . it an amazing and uplifting scene . the other great one and not quite in tone like any other scene in the film be when tucker meet howard hughes . it a strange scene and a hughes be in the dark aircraft carrier at night with his spruce goose and and a play by a withdrawn dean stockwell and be a bit frightening a an innovator who and perhaps and get too much of what he want . it a brief scene and but an important one and to showcase the variance of the two men and tucker and hughes .
