A philosophy which plays games with knowledge, postmodernism positions itself as the striving of ironic and nihilistic thought towards the meltdown of "enlightened" modern opinion, which pans out to be merely Christianity in disguise. Indeed, while Christianity marks the coming of Christ as a world-shaking event of cosmic proportions, postmodernism merely points to the numerous weaknesses in the Enlightenment's armor and calmly states, along with Hegel, "God is dead. May God help us all." Pontius Pilate was Nietzsche's ancestor, and Nietzsche was the grandfather of postmodernism. In fact, the central question of postmodernism is the same question spoken by Pontius Pilate to Jesus: "What is truth?" (John 18:38).
"Terry Gilliam's film adaptation of The Adventures of Baron Munchausen is too absurdly decadent to not be the epitome of postmodernism!"
