The effects of postmodernism on the American cinema narrative from the 1960s to the 2020s

It seems that there are debates today about when the postmodernism movement emerged and what it is. In fact, it is noticeable that even postmodernist philosophers and philosophers who contributed to the postmodernism movement did not or could not make a definition for the postmodernism movement. Another important issue is what are the good and bad aspects of the postmodernism movement. In order to answer all these questions, observations must be made in an area where the effects of the postmodernism movement are intense. Therefore, in this study, the field of cinema, which is one of the most effective and widespread examples of the visual art field of the postmodernism movement, was chosen. American mainstream cinema is the main subject of this thesis due to its world recognition and popularity. In the thesis, basic inferences were made by studying the films in this context. The aim of the study is to touch upon both the positive and negative aspects of the postmodernism movement. Thus, a more objective result will be obtained about the effects of the postmodernism movement. The result of our study is as follows; It has been seen that the postmodernism movement contributed to mass production, but it also harmed the emergence of creative and original works due to the results of mass production.
