What are the cultural characteristics of postmodern films?

The cultural characteristics of postmodern films include anti-depth, anti-culture and anti-tradition. Broadly speaking, postmodern movies correspond to Eagleton's postmodern concept. Postmodern film refers to a film type whose artistic style can reflect the characteristics of postmodern society. This artistic style is unintentional, unfounded, collage, parody, simulation and pluralism.

The characteristics of postmodern films

1. The basic feature of postmodern films is to subvert the deep thinking of traditional art films from the standpoint of counterculture, and to collage various artistic skills and means from montage to collage film language with the attitude of consumerism.

2. Movies different from modernist films provide research objects for postmodern film criticism. Subverting the deep thinking of traditional art films from the standpoint of anti-culture, sorting out various artistic skills and means from montage to collage film language with the attitude of consumerism are the signs of post-modern films.

3. The postmodern film theory holds that the French films after 1968 already contain the rebellious spirit of postmodern films and some formal factors, such as collage, random insertion of quotations and photos, reproduction of shooting scenes, participation in TV interviews, direct presentation to the audience and other means to subvert the traditional film language.
