As Requested - Postmodernism in Film

Postmodernism. What an inherently invalid moniker created by those which classifying things into time periods is the only way they can evaluate and appreciate beauty or/and genius in works of art or/and literature.

Post = after
Modern = of or pertaining to present and recent time; not ancient or remote

After now in film? What? The future is in the present in film? How contradictory. Might as well say the present is occurring in the future. Of course, depending on your viewpoint, the latter is completely conceivable. Conceivable, but not true as then the future would become the present. As is, incorrect.

Supposedly, there is so form of culture that is derived from "postmodernism." How exactly culture can be derived from something which has to exist is dumbfounding, to say the least. It's like the Christians saying the word marriage belongs to them, even though the term marriage belonged to many other religions that existed prior to the creation of Christianity, such as Celtic paganism, Judaism, Taoism, Buddhism and many other Oriental and pagan Indo-European religions. Impossible. You can't steal from something that which does not exist.
