View and Model cannot talk without controller. Your view would never have known the Model if the Controller hasn't passed it to.
There are following rules for communication among Model, View and Controller:
- User interacts with the Controller.
- There is one-to-many relationship between Controller and View means one controller can mapped to multiple views.
- Controller and View can have a reference to model.
- Controller and View can talk to each other.
- Model and View cannot talk to each other directly. They communicate to each other with the help of controller.
