"Postmodern media manipulates time and space". To what extent does this definition apply to texts you have studied?

Task 1 - Identify the TOPIC, ASPECT, VIEWPOINT and INSTRUCTION

TOPIC; Postmodern Media
Aspect; Texts you have studied
Viewpoint; Manipulates time and space
Instruction; To what extent does this definition

Task 2 - Decide upon your opinion. Can you express it clearly in 20 words?

postmodern ignores truth by mocking and manipulating a viewer’s view on reality. Inglourious basterds and Inception manipulates time and space by creating something fake.

Inglourious basterds
“realistic creation of a war film; film within a film”
Reference; sound of music
pastiche; they’re mocking existing war films, also imitates the work.
Opening “once upon time” at the beginning, is in your typical fairy-tale film = using different genres.
Can make your opinion change on what happened on the war. The director wanted viewers to know that it was fake, and used things deliberately.
Homage; it mocks the original war image. 
Inception
It has many aspects of hyper-reality, because it’s so realistic is fake. You don’t know what sections a real or fake. It’s what we believe to be hyper real – the ending – we don’t know whether he wakes up or not.
Inception makes you question what reality is. The characters don’t know when they’re in a dream or not. The film is audience involved, and it leaves you wondering what reality is.
The inception sound track is the kick that what’s the characters up in their dream.
They’re in a dream within a dream within a dream.. questioning reality.
you can take influences from everywhere.
