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

A parody of the "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" gameshow aiming to criticize certain tenets of the Postmodern philosophy and their implications. The message is not that Postmodernism is evil, its that some of the ideas generated by Postmodernism can lead to some destructive thinking and actually create a prison for our society. I, as an artist (writer and filmmaker), actually enjoy the Postmodernism to a degree, but we have to be careful at how we let postmodernism shape our thinking.

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...

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!

@ryanthomasmccallum

Lol!

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.

@Widmerpool99

Lol

Thank God for postmodernism :)

[S2Cents]

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

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."
