I posted this on \\\"Is this an example\\\" thread as you suggested to elicit more feedback.
I think the \\\"subversion of expected consequences\\\" I see may be too subtle. I\\\'m not looking at the specific outcome of the race but rather of the story itself. In most \\\"slice of life, the underdogs win\\\" type stories, it would end on the celebratory dinner, the town accepts the underdogs, it was a fantastic summer, the kids look forward to getting together next summer... roll credits.
To me the subversion is that it\\\'s not the end of the story, Luca wants to take more steps into the world and Granda Paguro points out that the \\\"protection of narrative convention\\\" ends at the Portorosso city limits. He will have to re-earn acceptance every place he goes and each new place will bring some inherent risk and danger.
For me seeing the acceptance of Giulia\\\'s classmates and teacher in the credits is a testament to the story\\\'s mention of Luca\\\'s ability to \\\"pick the good ones\\\", not the absence of opposition and fear of the different that is part of human nature.
