Postmodernism in 500 days of summer (2009)

- It has a non linear narrative (starts at the end)
- Intertextual- references to other films eg. 'Dirty dancing' song (she's like the wind) and Sid and Nancy.
- Hyperreal with 'The Smiths'
- Cartoon animated bird flys in, interacting with the main character by landing on his shoulder. Pastiche of Disney.
- Cliche line such as "so do you like me?"
- Non diagetic music- the scene imitating a musical where they are dancing in the park.
- Pastiche of a musical.

Not Postmodern
- Contains values
- Remains conventional (boy meets girl, however not straight forward)
