why the Truman show is postmodern 

1. is a simulation by having every resident apart from Turman himself having roles to play and to follow, he is living not in life but the creators vision of a hyperrealism that is a blend of the real which is Truman and the fiction which is everyone else. 
2. it is Pastiche as it takes 50s and 60s American culture and controls it with 90s technology. It  blends the genres of comedy, drama and the suspense of horror/thriller films. 
3. The film is a metafiction, for it is multiple realities within a huge reality a film about actors acting.

 why Dancer In The Dark is postmodern

1.  Dancer in the Dark is Meta fiction by deals with the conflict between fantasy and reality. this is highlighted by Selma’s musical daydreams by using colors to bright and exaggerated symbolizing her fantasy, whilst reality is painted in brown and grey colors. 
2. It is fragmented by being broken up into parts that question the viewer in what they are actually watching, is it a musical? or a indie film? for the way it is weird camera angles and close ups.
3.  it is mise-en-abyme by  Selma's day dreams of hearing the hum of factory machinery and combine into an orchestra of sounds that makes the musical aspects for the viewer to enjoy.
4. Pastiche - by using songs from The Sound of Music like the song My Favorite Things, So Long, Farewell and Climb Every Mountain, then take inspiration from other musicals for the dance and song numbers.
5. It is self reflexive by acknowledges the music is artificial and doesn’t seem fit  into the typical musical film the viewers are use to,

Perspective 6 - Funny games us Postmodernism

Normativity - it is the Concerns of what we should do and our evaluations of things whether it be social

Binary opposition - the binary opposition is a terms or concepts that are opposite in meaning.
examples include

Deconstruction - attempts to undo logical contradictions and overturn rigid conceptual oppositions while releasing new concepts that cant be included in the old system.

Différance - an attempt to conjoin the differing aspects involved in arche-writing, a term that plays upon the distinction between the audible and the written.

Derrida - finds the opposition between speech and writing to establish speech as the means of giving presence to the world, while writing is deemed derivative and inferior.

Reinscribe - rename in a new stronger form or context.

Cognitive dissonance - Having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes relating to behavioral decisions change.

Judith Butler is an American academic whose theories of the performative nature of gender were influential with French philosophy, cultural theory, queer theory, and some schools of philosophical feminism from the late 20th century.

1. The film is an attack on normativity of behavior and the audiences ideas of a horror film 

2. 2008 Funny games is an appropriation of the same film released in 1997. 

3. The film deconstructs expectations set by the genre which is denying the audience the enjoyable film experience that viewers watch films for.

4. It breaks the 4th wall by reality being broken when the character addresses the audience and feel omniscient-invisible power given to us in almost every film.

It is différant by making the viewers ask ‘why is all this happening?’ it also always deferred and never know why the story is happening.
