• Explain what a POSTMODERNIST film is. What features would it include?
• The Lego Movie is a POSTMODERNIST film. Explain how the The Lego Movie fits this term.

A Postmodernist film is a film that questions reality and everything that is said to be real, and it includes features such as Challenging genre conventions, Pastiche and Hyper reality. Th Lego Movie is a postmodernist film because it challenges different genre conventions like: Comedy, Sci-fi and children's... This also reflex's upon classic character roles, Emmet is the funny main character, fictional and kid friendly making him likable, Wyldstyle challenges this because she has all of the special skills at the start but ends up being equal to Emmet come the end, and the exact same can be said for other characters. The Lego Movie also uses Pastiche as the movie imitates the Matix in a way because the story lines are similar, because The Lego Movie was based off of the Matrix, then it makes fun of the real world by having the real world scenes in the film and the fact of lord business running the Lego world is like us being controlled by a higher being/body. The Lego Movie also uses Hyper-reality in the way of reminding the audience that they are watching a movie by having the real life scenes closer to the end when the audience is likely grasped/pulled into the film too much so they need to be taken back to the reality or the reality as we know it.
