The Opening to a german postmodernist film 'Run Lola Run'
This film demonstrates postmodernism in the way it blends animation and real life throughout. The way it goes from real people to animation is a postmodern technique as it is out of the ordinary, a particular postmodern approach. The beginning where the music begins, it is kept in time with a ticking of a clock made to sound like a beat. This is very unique and different to that of other films. The part where the crowd is sped up and then it freezes on particular people is not true to real life. This applies to the part of postmodernism that keeps the audience at arms-length so that it is not taken to be real. This is also true to when the policeman kicks the football up and the crowd form a shape to spell the name of the film. It then goes into animation for the theme tune which also is not true to real-life, it makes the audience not take it too seriously. The credits of the actors then come up in time with their suspect photos being shown in flashing images, again making it not seem realistic.
You need to be explicit about what this aspect of the film is that makes it a postmodern film.
