The Hudsucker Proxy is commonly compared to the films of Frank Capra, such as It’s A Wonderful Life (1946) or Mr Deeds Goes To Town (1936), and while its set pieces, broad plot strokes and overall aesthetic may owe much to Capra’s work, it lacks an essential Capra quality: the impeccably good protagonist.
Dude, Moses knows everything, can do anything, keeps it all running, was the first voice heard. Stopping time is a deus ex machina plot device. Moses is a god who works in a clock, in a machine. The fact that the deus ex machina in this movie is a literal deus ex machina is one of the greatest jokes in cinematic history and nobody gets it! It's such a good joke, I almost think the movie exists only so they can tell it.
