Postmodern characteristics in media texts...'500 day's of summer'

'500 Day's Of Summer' in my opinion, is quite a post modernist film that was recently released - September 2009. A particular scene which suggests post modernist features, is called the 'dance sequence' that I linked onto my blog.
I beleive the guy has just had sex with his girlfriend for the first time, and the scene is based on his overly exaggerated happiness of this occasion. The non diagetic funk music silences the natural sounds, with no dialogue throughout the whole of this scene. The scene is based on his journey to work, and as he walks down the street he starts to move and click to the music, and choreographed hand shakes that are overly dramatic with the other pedestrians, gradually building up to a big street dance with public people joining in as an ensemble, almost a mockery of a musical, suggesting a post modernist feature. To some extent you could say it is a 'parody' by mocking the idea of a musical, by bringing the past ideas to present modern films. In the choreography they use cliche moves such as the 'baseball glory' cheer that the audience are all familar with, making comedy, as we recognise these cliche actions from past 'classic' films. Additionally, it is also post modern in a way that time and reality suddenly stops to centre around the guys happiness. In films today, other than classic old musicals, it does not usually occur as it is 'unrealistic'. Another feature in this scene is an animated bird that flys in, that the actor interacts with, simluar to the animated birds in Disney's 'Cinderella', suggest this idea of a 'parody' again. The concept of adding two different medium and combining them together is quite a modern dynamic. It is basically a scene of his thoughts and happy imagery in his mind that comes alive, creating a surreal and bizarre scene that the audience find humorous due to the silliness of it all, suggesting a 'post modern' approach.
