Pulp fiction

This Film being a postmodernism film, Challenges the conventional relations between audience and text, I also found that Buffy the vampire slayer also does this. Whilst both the film and TV series appear to have a genre, it is also mixed with other genres making it not so easy to categorize.
With pulp fiction being a film where the “chapters” are mixed about and played in a different order within the film to when they actually happened.  In Buffy, there are episodes however I found that not all of them link together one after another, having references throughout the series.  When you watch either Pulp fiction or Buffy, you can be drawn in and feel as its reality or you know it’s a film/TV series and don’t gain the feeling for a specific character.

Modernism films have a deep story and follow this storyline rather than work on the visual side of the film. However, postmodernism films focus on the visual side, not focusing on the story, if there really is one.  This example is greatly shown in the film Transformer, with loads of action and explosions creating amazing visuals and not showing what the story is. Although Buffy the Vampire slayer is a post modernism TV series, some episode side track from being postmodernism and focus on a little bit of a storyline, and the characters. Pulp fiction doesn’t really tell a story, but the way in which the film is presented is all over the place. This then makes the viewer have to put the film in the right order once seeing the whole film.

Both Buffy the vampire slayer and pulp fiction relate to a previous section of the past, in pulp fiction it would be the retro dinner and the twist competition, going to the 1950s and buffy going to the medieval times, where vampire, witches and monsters were all thought to have been around.
