postmodern perspective

This week we had a discussion on postmodernism and the effects it has on our society. When we discussed the postmodernism of Las Vegas and Epcot, I was thinking of why these attractions give tourists a feeling of completion with the replication of world wonders. Although I find a sense of completion when seeing the Eiffel tower in France, many would agree that going to Epcot and seeing the Eiffel tower could be just as good. I think that giving tourists a sense of culture from another country is great, but the creation of places like Las Vegas and Epcot have given tourists a distorted vision of other cultures
Another instance that of postmodernism that we mentioned in class, is whether Hollywood movies will continue slacking in originality. In recent years a vast majority of Hollywood movies have been based off of books and plays that were previously created. I think that it is great for different directors to interpret scripts and ideas in new ways, but there is nothing better than seeing a movie that is truly original and created for the first time. The movies that have been created several times, such as Bat Man, has no originality in idea, but has uniqueness in the director’s perspective of the film to make it innovating. Postmodernism in this light has truly brought new ways of creativity, and has depicted a new type of invention.
