Inglorious Basterds

In Inglorious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino typically uses aspects of post modernism that are almost barely recognisable in terms of contradicting time eras, settings etc.
The first post-modern element we become aware of is the choice of music. For example, whilst Shosanna is doing her hair and make up for the cinema event, a David Bowie song is being played. This song was released in the 1980's and contradicts the 1940's era the film is portrayed to be set in. However, this still works effectively for the scene.
Another example is when brad pitt and the basterds are 'scalping' in the woods and spaghetti western music is being played, this is an unusual choice of music, as a 'cowboy' genre of music seems inappropriate to signify a war film, however again it strangely works effectively.
In terms of the setting, when Shosanna leaves her room for the cinema event, the camera angle changes to a birds eye view. As she walks through the door, the camera goes above the door making us aware that the cniema is simply a set not a real building which should in theory take away the authenticity of the film as it urges the audience to suddenly 'snap' back into reality and make the film less believable as a true story. However, the depth of the film makes this almost unrecognisable for it's audience, and even once noticed, strangely doesn't effect the sense of reality of the film just like the other post modern elements.
Finally, the film begins with 'once upon a time', a typical opening to a fairytale film. It's followed up by splitting each section of the film into 'chapters' which creates a sense of a fictional story instead of documenting an event such as world war two. However this I feel adds to the humour of the film and works effectively in challenging the conventions of a normal war film.
