Revolutionary American film

"Adhering to stereotypes and being the same" is a taboo in filmmaking. The reason why American films lead the world is that they can continue to innovate. Just like the transition from silent films to sound films, the transition from black and white to color films, and the transition from romance to song and dance films, it all shows that innovation is the only way to make films. But these are all changes in film technology, which we can call external innovation; while this film has made a great change in ideological content, which we all call internal innovation. In the previous American films, we will find that the thoughts of most of the characters are still very clean, and there is nothing complicated or difficult to understand; and some sensitive topics and thoughts are avoided or concealed. But in that social environment at that time, such a movie could no longer resonate with the audience. In this film, the director directly presented sensitive topics such as homosexuality and eating soft rice to the audience, making it closer to people's real life, and the characters in the film became more three-dimensional. It can be said that this film created a precedent for American modern film art.

Dreams are always destroyed by reality. Under the weight of reality, we can only rely on beautiful imagination to support the humble happiness in life. I prefer to believe that the relationship between Joe and Rizzo is friendship. A flower of friendship born in cruel reality.
