The Age of Stupid

Along side our project, in preparation for our exam, we are studying postmodern media. Yesterday, I got the opportunity to watch a screening of "The Age of Stupid" a new film about global warming by director Franny Armstrong. It is a post-modern film, about a man living in 2055, looking back at present footage of the factors that lead to global warming, practically destroying the planet.

The fact that the film was post-modern was beneficial to me, as we are studying post-modernism for our A2 exam. I noticed different aspects which made the film post-modern.

We watched the film in a local independent cinema, Cinema City. It's different from a major company cinema as it's smaller, meaning there is less distractions as there is less people. However, personally, I did not find it any different than in a larger cinema, but I acknowledge that for some people it would be preferable.
