The Age of Stupid film analysis

Yesterday our A level media class went on a field trip to cinema city in Norwich to see a post-modern film about climate change called ‘The Age of Stupid.’ http://www.ageofstupid.net/#
We went to see this film as it links in to our post-modern topic in class. The film itself was set out as a documentary but with Pete Postlethwaite as a man living by himself looking back on how we destroyed the world and did nothing about it. The way that the film was edited is very post-modern as he was sitting at his computer talking about issues and when he wants to show you a clip of the documentary he will search his computer and play it. The actual experience of going to a screening at cinema city was very professional as the seats are laid out so it’s more personal instead of a group of people just going to see a movie because it looks good. There was also a question and answer session at the end of the film to talk to the producer and some of the main contributors. This was very interesting as we could actually find out more about the film from a reliable source and in person aswel.
