postmodern 90s

I was not a huge fan of the last screening for this course. It seems like everything else we have studied is about pioneering ideas, exciting techniques, revolutionary ideas... these last films seemed to have more of a scornful, sarcastic attitude towards the world that I think sometimes accompanies postmodernity. There seems to be a lack of this bursting new creative energy but rather a desire to mock or critique life as we know it. I think this exemplifies a lot of pop culture around us currently, that the attitude of creating something completely new and original is overshadowed by the doubt that anything is new and original. I really liked the concept of the Kino-Eye in this course, of allowing the eye to see more than it can naturally see, and I don't think that films such as "I want to see how you see" uphold this priniciple but are more focused on the effects, the margins, and the mockery that goes along with postmodernism.
