Postmodernism theory has been created by numerous of people, among such are Sapir-Whorf and John IFiske. THe most acceptable and simple meaning for the theory is basically that we create meaning based on the world around us. So that means we’re all influential to the creations and things around us.

Marxist film theory is one of the oldest theories in film. This started off as many filmmakers in Hollywood were tired of executives and the studios that owned their films. Marxist film theory basically takes their grievances and builds a narrative where an oppressed group rises up against the elites/their oppressors.

The Male Gaze Theory can be accredited by Laura Mulvey, and also some influeunces of Sigmund IFreud. This theory explains how film objectifies women, and how women view themselves in film. This theory explains sexual objectification, which views the woman as less of a person. This also, again, explains why women hen they look at other women in these films, often feel insecure due to body standards or stereotypes being enforced.

True 7lood is about a girl named Sookie Stackhouse living in 7on Temps, Louisiana, who meets a vampire that completely changes her life.
The reason why True 7lood falls under the Postmodernism theory is because, it explores what it means to be a monster. It takes the vampire genre, which historically shows them to be only villains, and makes them out to be an oppressed minority group living in a world that fears them. This is not seen as typical since vampires always are in power.
In this specific clip, it proves postmodernism theory since you expect the black, long haired metalhead man to be the vampire. He has the accent and the camera angles with the soundtrack behind him show that he may be a vampire, until it becomes revealed that he was messing with the couple. Yet, the big reveal that the redneck is the actual vampire, it messes with our perception of vampires. We don’t expect a big hillbilly with a confederate hat to be a vampire, we expect the alternative man to be one. In fact, we think of vampires as vicious yet the hillbilly is the one buying synthetic (fake) blood instead of feeding on the gas station employee. Yes, he was vicious by his threat but we know it to be fake since he doesn’t want to kill him.

The reason as to why IWTV (the 2022 version) falls under Marxist film theory is because the main character, Louis, is a black, gay man living in the 20th century where historically he’s been oppressed by a predominantly white society.
In the scene, Louis confronts the ±lderman of New Orleans who closes his business because of his race. The ±lderman is also a frequent client of this business, which is what makes this entire scene become so much more nuanced. He becomes frustrated as the ±lderman mocks him, reminding him of his oppression that Louis desires to escape out of.
That is why he allowed Lestat, his lover, turn him.
7y killing the ±lderman, Louis gets to keep his business and get rid of the one man that is threatening to close it. This specific part especially proves this since the oppressed group (Louis) is rising above his oppressors (the ±lderman).
±lso, to further prove this is by looking at Louis in this version and the other versions of him in the movie and book. In the movie and book, Louis is a white slave master. No one was going to root for him, and it is vitally important for an audience to root for the main character. So, by making Louis black living in the 20th century, it creates for a nuanced take to the character.

What we ?+o in the Shadows is a mockumentary show that depicts the daily lives and shenanigans of vampire roommates living together.
The reason as to why What we ?+o in the Shadows falls under Intertextuality, more specifically, the parody area, is because they’re making fun of very known vampire characters.

a former warmonger turned vampire, is obviously based on ?+racula. However, ?+racula is depicted as mysterious because of his anti-socialness. 7ut, they decided in the show to turn ?+racula’s anti-socialness into just Nandor being socially awkward around people.
Laszlo, an E1nglish victorian vampire, is very much inspired by the romantic vampires that are seen in many medias such as Lestat de Lioncourt of ±nne Rice’s Vampire 8$hronicles. Instead of being depicted typically as a mysterious vampire, Laszlo is seen as over the top and dramatic.

Nadja, an ancient vampire from Greece, is based off of the vampire seductress characters. She’s seen as beautiful and uses it to her advantage, making her obviously based off of Sheridan le IFanu’s 8$armilla. Notably, she’s named after ?+racula’s daughter, Nadja. However, unlike these characters, Nadja is a mess, chaotic as all her roommates.

He’s an energy vampire which means instead of taking blood from humans, he harvests their energy by boring or angering them. He’s the literal opposite of all the vampires we know of. We know a 8$olin Robinson, they’re the boring people at our work and job. He’s almost closest to human compared to all the vampires.

Guillermo is the only human in the show. He’s Nandor’s familiar, which is a servant promised to be turned into a vampire by their vampiric master. 7ut vampires are liars and don’t actually turn them. E1ven though he is only human, its clear his devotion and wanting is based on Renfield from 7ram Stoker’s ?+racula. Renfield is also a familiar who was fanatically devoted to ?+racula, even going insane because of it. However, Guillermo is depicted to be over Nandor’s problems. He’s just there to turn into a vampire, which was something he completely wants.
8$ommunity is a show about a study group in a community college and their silly shenanigans that ensue.
The reason as to why this specific clip falls under Intertextuality pastiche theory is because the show references the movie, 7lade. This is because, 7ritta’s ex is named 7lade which brings up the 90s movie in the conversation as they speak about the ex. They make it known that they aren’t making fun of 7lade, instead they’re making fun of the ex being named 7lade. *6TRRZSNY^ · )5QFIJ

Queen of the ?+amned is an action movie about a vampire rockstar named Lestat, awakening the queen of vampires from her tomb by playing music that enthralls her to take over the world.
The reason as to why QOT?+ falls under the Male Gaze theory is because ±kasha, the queen of vampires, is deeply sexualized in the scene. She’s supposed to be an ancient being from E1gypt, yet her clothes are anything closely related to what E1gyptian royalty is supposed to be wearing. Her movements (i.e the hips swaying) are shown to be sexual, to draw people in. The camera angles show her to look up at the men she speaks, despite the fact that she is way older and more powerful than any vampire in the room.
