Post Modernism in Inglorious Basterds

The post-modern elements in Inglorious Basterds are typical of Quentin Tarantino and is part of what sets the film as a hybrid text as it fits into many genres.
The Music:
Although the film is set in WWII (1939-1945), it's soundtrack consists of modern music, unusual for a 'war film'. The film does open with music that you would expect in a film of the era but continues with rock music to add to the modern action elements in the movie. The modern music contrasts with the era but fits with the glorified action and violence in the film. The music is intertextual of modern day action films and the use of it can be seen as humorous. A David Bowie song is used to Shoshana's scene and the scene is portrayed as almost like a music video. Tarantino also uses a lot of western music in Inglorious Basterds. This relates to the shoot out scenes in westerns and again focuses's and glorifies the violence in the film. The intertextual elements of the western music mixes genres which is unusual and post modern.
Painted Backdrop:
Rather than using a green screen, modern technology, Tarantino uses painted backdrops to relate to original war films, contrasting with the modern elements he incorporates into the movie to create a mixture of the two.
Titles/Character introductions:
Creates modern action type feel and can be seen is Tarantino's other films such as Kill Bill. This isn't something that would appear in a normal war film.
Public Film Split Screen:
This creates a contrast to the modern elements of the film and reminds the audience that this film is not your typical war film.
Movie Set:
An arial view of Shoshana reveals the movie set, very unusual for a film as you as an audience member are supposed to become emersed in something that you watch as if it was reality. This element exagerates the film element and makes the movie all the more glorified.
