How precious is this film gonna get. He's quirky, genius, unflappable, the perfect boss, the perfect husband, the perfect underdog! He could have saved the world if not for the establishment. Yeah, right.
I guess Coppola thought it was still 1968 when he made this. This film is a bit too one side and sugarcoated. Tucker wasn't the perfect engineer, the perfect businessman or even the perfect citizen.
The film does have one sadly ironic line though. "If our system crushes the little guy, the true innovator, some day we are going to be outsold by our competitors, the people we just defeated in the war."
Well, at least the film does make a point and provide a warning - too late.
