Quentin Tarantino's film Pulp Fiction is a perfect example of post modern media.
His great influence by Jean Luc Godard who concentrated on creating parodies and subverted film conventions to create lighthearted humor and recognisable elements.
For example a deliberately bad back drop was used in the car journey scene below:
The following points taken from Pulp fiction highlighting their link to other well known icons/films.
- Mia's hair cut was originally seen in Pandorais box by GW Pabst in 1928, Louise Brooks was the actress this refers to.
- Butch is waiting in his car at some crossroads as he has his path crossed by Marcellus Wallace - his boss. In Alfred Hitchcock Psycho, this same scenario hapened to Marion Crane and her boss.
- Jules reciting the bible links to Robert Mitchum's character in The Night of the Hunter by Charles Laughton in 1955.
