Wag the Dog

I have to say, this film was probably the best we've watched all semester. It was actually enjoyable. I can see how it relates to postmodernism. It's all about questioning, or not questioning. Like deconstruction we read about, or that poem that asks (or doesn't ask) what poetry is. It questioned the things we take for reality without a second thought, and it makes you wonder if anything going on outside your immediate surroundings is actually going on, or if it is all made up like the war in the movie. And even if you see something with your own eyes, can you be sure its real? How is one to know anything, really?
