Abstract

 Literature and the performing arts can be considered as two comparable systems that often have similarities in narrative features. The aim of this study is to recognize how Movies use narrative methods and techniques in conveying meaning to the audience, based on Postmodern literary theories; and it presents arguments to answer this question: Which Postmodern literary expression techniques are used to convey meaning in Movies? Our finding showed that the narrative structure of “ Inception” was uniquely similar to Postmodern Novels with at least eleven narrative features of Postmodern Novels that have been used to convey meaning to the audience. Implicit to “ Memento” and anachronism were the most important Postmodernist feature in the film “ Inception” . This film consciously merged reality and representation and created a vicious circle in the viewer’ s mind. Simulation in the Jean Baudrillard theory, manifested itself in Movies and signs were no longer a reflection of reality. Short circuit to closing the gap between the real world and the fiction was another feature of the narrative that are used in Postmodern Movies. Presence of the dead character such as “ Mal” and its relationship to the living was similar to the phenomenon of short circuit in David Lodge ‘ s theory. The principle of contradiction, can manifest itself as a conceptual and visual inconsistency in Movies similar to Novels. The conversations between Sative and Dammkab at the end of the film was the example of contradiction in the Movie “ Inception” . Although only brief moments passed, the effects of aging can be seen on the faces of both characters clearly. Attention to subcultures and cultural eclecticism was very important in the Postmodern Novel, which was presented as the abolition of racist and patriarchal roles in this film. In fact, this phenomenon indicates the emergence of “ Pluralism” in the Postmodern world and collapse of “ Centrist” in modern thought. Unexpected changes in camera angle, distortion and metamorphosis of image in “ Inception” were the examples of the language disorder in Postmodern Novels. According to the content of the story, in some scenes of the film, the lack of attention to gravity is evident. Demonstrating the inability of human beings to penetrate to deeper levels of dreams indicates the collapse of meta-narratives in the fourth level of dreams. Like the Postmodern Novels, the film constantly reminds the viewer that the story and film are artificial. Planting an idea in the human mind was an example of the collapse of values in this film. This developmental descriptiveanalytical study compared two different systems of literature and cinema. Information was collected through library searching and sample Movie viewing )Inception, 2010, Christopher Nolan). The data have been selected purposefully from the actions and dialogues. The information has been compared with the techniques that are used in Postmodern Novels and has been analyzed and interpreted qualitatively.
