Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (The Postmodern Version)- Part 1

Sure these guys aren't actors, but the vid was thought provoking.

@MorganMarvinson

Lol. It is incredibly hard to act in front of a green screen and think about both perspectives and worry about the script and everything. We didn't have time to memorize the script (I wrote it, so I was able to get the lines more dead on), so basically before each take we had to memorize as much as we could and shoot, then start from a new spot. So hard to keep up the energy and everything. But yeah, neither of us are actors. I have acted a bunch in my own movies but I suck...

[mattsjpl]

But I'm glad you liked it at least. It was a lot of work to produce but was also a lot of fun. I'll have to work on my acting in the future :)

@mattsjpl Harrison Ford wasn't very convincing in STAR WARS either, but he got other parts and got better at acting. But, I take my hat off to you on the project. As I said, It hit the mark in stimulating thought.

@MorganMarvinson

Lol! That's hilarious! Well thanks for commenting I always enjoy hearing feedback. Luckily my career aspirations are in writing and directing, not acting, so maybe I won't need to pull a Harrison Ford!

According to PostModernism and Relativism , the answer to all those trivia questions demands there be an answer "E: All of the Above."

According to them, anything you want to believe is true. The answer to 2+2 = is "Hey man, anything you want to believe man. Whatever."

Since postmodernism relieves us of the obligation (or, indeed, the right) to make critical evaluations of anything, I’m unable to state that the acting in this video sucks massively.

[mattsjpl]

@Widmerpool99

Lol

Thank God for postmodernism  :)

[S2Cents]

@Widmerpool99 Does it? Seems the word refers to loads of critical evaluations and that's all...

@lstdy

Something about the word bigot... just really really fun to say!

Those four people's take on the Holocaust is apalling! Hitler was an evil psychopath! And the Holocaust was tragic because so many innocent jewish people were persecuted for no other reason than just being jewish!! If I were the guy contestant, First, I would have shown more backbone in responding towards the host's guff and second, I would've requested being allowed to choose two answers (you can easily guess which ones) on the fact that they are both right.

[mattsjpl]

Yeah, that was joke was a bit tricky to write. I wanted to keep the movie light-hearted while mentioning the the holocaust, something that is very hard to do. And yeah, it was both evil and tragic at the same time, but for the sake of the movie I just went with the stronger answer.

[Jakegothicsnake]

Post-Modernismkind of makes me think of a style of painting. LOL

[mattsjpl]

It is a style of painting. Its a bunch of stuff. I love the postmodern art style, I think that's really cool. If you've seen the movie "Synecdoche, New York," that's a very postmodern movie (no structure, highly introspective and philosophical...). When the postmodern art style carries over into politics it can get a little messy though, which is kind of what I'm playing with in this video.

[Jakegothicsnake]

I've always had more of a preference to styles such as classical, neo-classical, medieval, renaissance, and baroque styles of paintings myself.

[mattsjpl]

Yeah, I really respect the technical excellence of those. I've seen some that literally look like photos. My favorite art style is the surrealism movement, around the early 1900's. I don't really like modern art all that much because it seems too random to be creative, but the stuff right before then was random but had a deep meaning to it, usually psychological.
