雖然不確定電影創作者的本意是什麼,但就目前所修習的傳播與文化課程所得之相關知識,以及參考最近正好在翻閱的《叛逆國度:為何反主流文化變成消費文化》(原文書名:The Rebel Sell – Why the Culture Can’t Be Jammed),我將擅自引用當中的一些概念來詮釋這部電影。
首先,從本片的主角Mickey和Mallory開始。男主角Mickey的名字讓我很直接地想到米老鼠、夢工廠,至於Mallory這個名字,我在不可靠的維基百科上面看到此一說:
“Mallory is a girl's name that became popular in 1983. That was the year that the teenage character Mallory was introduced on the television show Family Ties.”
