Looking at it again this time gave me another perspective: the collision of tradition and new ideas, the collision of classical and popular, and the combination of high art and street culture to create new ideas and new cultures.
From this film, I feel that the United States is also a place that attaches great importance to tradition, and it can be said that it adheres to the rules. It does not allow anything that disrupts or subverts tradition. The principal of the art school in the film is the representative of tradition, while Mike (friend of the male pig's foot) represents street culture, the female pig's foot is a person who learns and abides by the traditional culture, and the male pig's foot is a bit of a follower, but in the end It has changed the traditional thinking of the female pig's feet. It can be said that the male pig's feet "Taylor" combined the two cultures, and the heroine has also slowly opened up her own way because of the image of the male protagonist. High art and street culture have always been antagonistic to each other. High art students look down on street culture people, and street culture also despise high art students. It just so happens that the director uses this film to break people's traditional concepts. Make the impossible possible.
Why does the introduction of the film say that the reviews of the first film were one-sided, and now I finally understand that it may be that traditional, high-art people see their field that they will feel blasphemous, because they will feel that they are considered to be The culture that is nasty and cannot be placed in the palace of elegance (that is, HIP POP) can be mixed with such elegant art, and people in street culture (also known as HIP POP) will think that some very high and elegant art can be very interesting to us. Compare it. So the director came to subvert the tradition and show through a film that the two can be combined, not hostile or exclusive.
As the male protagonist finally said to the female protagonist: I wanted you to do this the way you imagined it (I hope you do what you want to do), in fact, at this time the male protagonist also found his own direction, what he wanted, And the heroine also wants to step out of the frame that she would not want to step out before, which is an adventure and a challenge.
