The Fall 2.0
Another aspect of postmodernism that was present in The Fall occurred to me today. The film draws on characters from a multitude of cultures (another broken boundary). The cast is multiracial and multicultural, but there seems to be little or no communication problems within the fantasy. The only communication barriers visible are between Roy and Alexandria in the real world. I think this is part of the globalized culture that we discussed in class. The characters in the story seems to exist in a space where differences are only on the surface, inside they are all exactly the same. They are essentially a monoculture with the appearance of diversity.
