Answer 2

Postmodernism is made up of many elements. Full and total experimentation is one. Another one is a character's acknowledgment that he or she is in a work of fiction. Also, the interconnectedness of human relations is something that makes postmodernism different from the isolationist tendencies of the modernist writers. Nearly all movies made after 1970 would be considered postmodern or have some postmodern tendencies.
