The video argues that movies have shifted from a modernist to a postmodernist and now to a metamodernist style. Modernist movies had straightforward stories and advocated for specific values. Postmodernist films questioned narrative itself and deconstructed traditional storytelling. Now, metamodern films incorporate elements of both modernism and postmodernism, oscillating between sincerity and deconstruction. They use meta elements and references not just to deconstruct but also to find meaning. This metamodern shift reflects broader cultural changes and an attempt to make sense of our hyper-modern, narrative-saturated world. Metamodernism brings back an appreciation for storytelling itself.
Modernist movies are straightforward with traditional storytelling and advocate for specific values in an unapologetic way. They promote ideals like individualism and determination.
Postmodernist movies critique and deconstruct modernist narratives and values. They question the idea of objective truth and are skeptical of overarching narratives. They use techniques like irony, pastiche and self-reflexivity.
Metamodernist movies incorporate both modernist and postmodernist elements. They oscillate between modernist sincerity and postmodern deconstruction. They use meta elements and references but in a way that finds meaning.
Metamodernism is a response to both postmodernism and hypermodernity. It tries to make sense of the multiple perspectives and narratives we are exposed to in the digital age.
Self-reflexivity is used by both postmodern and metamodern movies, but postmodern movies use it to deconstruct while metamodern movies use it to construct meaning.
Metamodernism recognizes the value of different genres and philosophies rather than just deconstructing or rejecting them.
Metamodernism brings back an appreciation for storytelling and art for its own sake.
Irony and cynicism can get tiring, so metamodernism finds optimism and sincerity again.
Storytelling still has value in providing comfort and meaning to people’s lives.
Breaking the fourth wall can be used by metamodernism to invite the audience into the story rather than take them out of it.
