4.5 James Gray said in the latest issue of the film book that his two favorite Coppola films are "Betta Fish" and this one, so he specially looked for them. It feels like Coppola's most personal semi-autobiographical film, especially after a few box office hits in the early '80s, the story feels like it's all about Coppola's own struggles, so there's a self-deprecating sense of optimism and powerlessness. Tragedy. The audio-visual is really great. A lot of low-angle shots are used to present...

This is probably only the Americans who dare to think so much. They act when they have an idea. Although there will be many setbacks along the way, they still believe that their American dream will come...

The sense of fragmentation and jumping in the movie is too serious. In the first 70 minutes, people can fall asleep because of boredom. After 40 minutes, there are some highlights, but I feel that this movie does not use the complete logic and plot framework to put this story together. It's well told, but it gives me the feeling that I suddenly jumped here, and there is a sense of clutter (it may also be that the subtitles I watched are not very good and I missed part of the plot). Playing...

After all, it is a movie from nearly 30 years ago. From the current point of view, it is overrun, and the actor's performance style is relatively old-fashioned. Not particularly...

Ebert believes that due to his historical origin and closeness to Tucker, Coppola could not observe deeply, and his awareness of protecting the Tucker family was too strong. He failed to explore the depths of the protagonist's heart, how his character was shaped, he did not look for his own weaknesses and problems, and he did not blame the internal causes of self-destruction, but a conspiracy. The title of the film is "Tucker, the Man and the Dream," and people walking out of the theater will...

Are securities regulators the savior against greed?
"We created a system of free enterprise under which anyone, no matter who he is, where he comes from, or what class he belongs to, has a good idea of something, and nothing can stop him from doing it. Try. However, I guess, I may be a generation late, because now, there is a system at work, under...

On Friday, I was looking for entrepreneurial projects on "Unreliable Business", and I stumbled upon an article "Several Movies Entrepreneurs Have to Watch". After watching it, they were basically "Forrest Gump" and the like. The one I haven't seen is "Tucker: The Man and His Dream". So I was very...
Tucker: The Man and His Dream quotes
-
Preston Tucker: [making his closing arguments to the jury] ... When I was a boy, I used to, uh... I used to read all about Edison, and the Wright brothers... Mr. Ford, they were, they were my heroes... 'rags to riches' that's not just the name of a book; that's, what this country was all about!... We invented the free enterprise system, where anybody, no matter who he was, where he came from, what class he belonged to... If he came up with a better idea, about ANYTHING, there's no limit to how far he could go... I grew up a generation too late I guess because now the way the system works... The loner; the dreamer; the CRACKPOT, who, comes up with some CRAZY IDEA that everybody LAUGHS at, that LATER, turns out to REVOLUTIONIZE THE WORLD... HE'S SQUASHED, FROM ABOVE, BEFORE HE EVEN GETS HIS HEAD OUT OF THE WATER, BECAUSE THE BUREAUCRATS, THEY'D RATHER KILL A NEW IDEA THAN LET IT ROCK THE BOAT!... IF BENJAMIN FRANKLIN WERE ALIVE TODAY, HE'D BE THROWN IN JAIL FOR SAILING A KITE WITHOUT A LICENSE!
[jury laughs]
Preston Tucker: ... It's true!... We're all puffed up with ourselves now because we invented *the bomb*... Dropped the... Beat the daylights out of the Japanese; the Nazis... But if 'big business' closes the door on THE LITTLE GUY WITH A NEW IDEA, WE'RE NOT ONLY CLOSING THE DOOR ON PROGRESS, BUT WE'RE SABOTAGING EVERYTHING THAT WE FOUGHT FOR!... EVERYTHING THAT THE COUNTRY STANDS FOR! And one day, we're gonna find ourselves at the bottom of the heap, instead of king of the hill, having no idea how we got there; buying our radios and our cars from our former enemies!... I don't believe that's gonna happen; I *can't* believe it, cuz... if I ever, stop believing in plain old common horse-sense of the American people... there's no way I could get out of bed in the morning... Thank you.

Abe: [after the trial outside the courthouse, with lots of spectators admiring Tucker's cars] They *love* the cars, the people! Drives me crazy, that the motor company's dead... They'll never be made!
Preston Tucker: We made 'em.
Abe: Fifty cars...
Preston Tucker: Aw, what's the difference - fifty or fifty million. That's only machinery!... It's the *idea* that counts, Abe... The dream...
