Post Modernism in the Movies

Today is my birthday!!! I do not feel like writing or being in school. My lovely boyfriend is taking me out for dinner if the meet gets canceled. Hopefully it does. But I am not doing anything at the meet so if it is still on, it won't be that bad. I get to pick where we go to dinner. I do not know where we should go yet, but I am thinking about Osaka!!! I doubt that though. I do not want to go to practice though. That would suck. I am excited to go to my dads. I think I am getting a Kindle and that would be awesome! I have wanted one for a long time and it is about time I get one. I will be very upset if I do not get it.
So I guess I should start talking about post modernism within a post modern movie. I am going to talk about the movie Water for Elephants. It is a very recent movie that came out in theaters. It fits the aspects of post modernism by its act to react the past. It is a movie that was set in the 1930's during the Great Depression. It shows how the people act and how they are going to make a living during this hard time. It was about a man named Jacob and how he got a job working on a circus. He soon finds out how bad life can be in the outside world. He meets a girls and falls in love with her. This movie is based of the book Water for Elephants. It is a post modernism piece because it is trying to capture the tradition of the past through the book. There was also fear in the book. Jacob is scared for his life, his lovers, and the animals in the circus. There lacks an individual within the book. Jacob joins the circus and he is put within the system without a lot of people knowing. The other people on the circus had nicknames. They had nicknames and not individual names for each other. They would call the citizens coming to watch the show rubes. They had not distinction between the people.
