If you choose, for example, to be an educator or a
social worker or an artist, realism demands that you prepare for the possibility that a shrunken job market or the impossibility of making a decent living will
force you to abandon your career aspirations in
favor of something more «practical.»
Like the film, characters take the opportunity to play nice, adhering to the
social strata of the time,
forcing us to give up the more overt subversion of the first film in
favor of pure genre immersion.
