So, lately I've been doing a lot of thinking about the postmodernist movement. ("Postmodernism is a tendency in contemporary culture characterized by the rejection of objective truth and global cultural narrative.") What I basically got out of it is it's the rejection of a norm that people accept as just that. For example a postmodernist film might be plotless, have no rising and falling climax and no main characters (e.g. Slacker). Or maybe when dealing with art you could consider anti-artists to be postmodernist artists, rejecting the idea of what it means to be art. As confusing as it can get when reading I really want to check into more postmodernist films and art and maybe have my short film and music revolve around that idea, as I'm tired of the same old crap.
