Postmodern Essay 1 'Inception' & 'Inglorious Bastards'

Post Modern Essay 1

Post Modern Adverts

This is post modern because of the fact that this would never happen in real life and its an alternative reality/world. The reasons for this is because its full of action and adventure every second when in reality there is no action at any pint in a normal life or at least as extreme as this. It also implies that their is up beat 'Action' themed music playing all the time when really theres only the music you play or hear which is most likely not to be the same as this. The advert is trying to make you think if you buy the game that your life will be as exciting and action filled as in the advert when its really not going to be. 

The post modern aspect of this is that their is aliens shopping and living on 'planet earth' when in reality there's no aliens on planet earth (That we know of) and they don't shop at our local shops or celebrate our traditions. 

This advert is post modern advert because it implies that you can adapt to any situation when in the car and that you can avoid the 'Law' and have a fun and exciting time when really you can't adapt to all those situations and react as quickly as that and you can't avoid the 'Law' like they do in the video.
