One movie that I saw recently that displays Post Modernism is Life as We Know It, which stars Katherine Heigl and Fergie's husband, who is quite an attractive male. The movie is about an uptight woman and a loosey goosey guy who absolutely despise each other but end up with custody over their mutual best friends' daughter. The two had to learn to live together and obviously fell in love. I thought this was actually a really good movie and we actually watched it like five times because we fell asleep with it on the television and rewatched it in the morning. I was at a sleepover with three other girls and since Fergie's husband is just so good looking, we just could not resist.
Life as We Know It demonstrates Post Modernism in the style and manner in which the movie is directed and ran and also in the way it was written. Life as We Know It displays characteristics that display Post Modernism such as the lack of religion or organized religion, although it does not actually denounce it. Life as We Know It also gives the allusion of sex before marriage as a good thing, or at least not a bad thing, which is certainly a characteristic of Post Modernism. Also in the movie, Katherine Heigl is a successful business woman who runs her own business. This shows Post Modernism because before the Post Modernism time period, women were not necessarily thought of as individuals who could successfully create a life on their own and be so strong independent. Although she does discover she needs Fergie's husband in her life, she is just in love with him, not dependent on him to do the work or whatever. This is how Post Modernism women live; while obviously they still want a man in their life to have and to hold, they are not financially dependent on him necessarily; the balance is usually more equal between the two. Therefore, Life as We Know It is a terrific example of a Post Modernism movie.
