Pulp fiction jack rabbit slim's - parody of pop culture in a film.
Costume contrast with stage appearance, main characters dressed more modern whilst in a 1950's diner with marolin monroe and richard nixon presenting. John trovolaa wearing a western tie...
simulation - the blurring of real or the simulated, eg style, cgi and story, use of photoshop to merge and change images etc.
Intertextuality - the presence of reference to texts within a text, e.g the zoom in and out in sharks being mimicked in other media such as tv dramas. eg scream is in a world where horror movies do exist, a character lists ways to survive horror movies, making references to other horror films such as halloween being viewed on the tv.

Disjointed narrative structures - narratives do not necessarily;y run ion chronological order, we dont have to identify characters and we get uncertain endings e.g memento, where the beginning is at the end.
The erosion of history - Time is often blurred and historical facts and characters are played with. eg Mad Men, Pearl Harbour, social network where characters play a version of a real person and a version of the real event. Therefore the version of the event being portrayed isn't entirely true and is enhanced to entice and draw in the audience using artistic licence. The version is also the creation of several layers of media manipulation, book writen about the event, book changed for screen play etc, farther away from the real truth the farther down the line it becomes detached from the original.
The active audience - audiences "decode" postmodern texts in order to fully understand them.
Blurring of boundaries - between genres, styles ande also high and low culture. e.g the modern romeo and juliet with Lenardo de Capreo. original play script mixed with modern action and modern setting.
"Music videos postmodern in themselves"
Brief overview of what postmodernism is, explanation of your understanding of the term etc:
Postmodern style:
surface style and superficial, e.g royal with cheese or atmospheres of decay and alienation e.g fight club.
self reflexivity texts reflect of themselves as media texts and draw attention to the fact eg kiss kiss bang bang.
How is Kiss kiss bang bang post modern stylistically:
Title is a reference to the old hollywood idea of only needing a gun and a kiss scene to make a movie, a classic parody of old style hollywood production.
Kids proforming magic tricks
girl facking being cut in half
stanely kubrick title sequence
Narrator self aware,"thats me harry, ill be your narrator". - self reflective
Narrator stumbles into inspector room, script read by actors with it in their hands.
Robo cop reference, female actor discovered when robo cop actor dressed in same suit wanders into her house drunk and then falls off the balcony.
Protagonist, the good guy challenges a bad guy to a classic western style duel, however bad guy actually prevails and wins for once.
Scene skips and transitions highlighted by narrator and visual aid of film roll being classically disjointed.
Pretty woman randomly approaches lead, has trivial conversation but leads to nothing, narrator highlighting this,"what nothing else? nope."
The two main characters reunite and there past now makes sense, comes in the form of a flashback scene.
Narrator sleeps with wrong woman, the scary chick.
Jokes,"Look up the definition of idiot in the dictionary and you know what you'd find?
"A picture of me?"
"No, the definition of idiot which you are!"
Main woman's sister steals her identity and then is found dead.
Narrator monologue, "I should tell her about the nipple but she won't shut up for a second."
Narrator piss's on dead girl in his shower by accident while he was pissing in the toilet.
Woman slams daw and cuts of narrators finger.
"Don't play detective, this is not a book, this is not a movie."
Narrators finger gets torn off by hockey mask evil guys just after it is restitched.
Protagonist coldly kills murderer with gun without a second thought,"I see you got a gun, damn you are tough."
The girl the character mustard kills on the bed drops to the floor after shoot, but isn't dead, speaks to protagonist under bed.
Protagonist wants the main woman the official way, not submitting to her come ons until they have a first kiss.
Outside mental hospital, Russian roulette goes wrong.
Surreal round up of events right at the end.
