ironic idealism 

The outer limit of postmodernism. Idealism viewed ironically. Does not cover ironic nihilism which is a form of ironic idealism but falls OUTSIDE of the limits of postmodernism. Consistent with postmodernism's idyllic denialism or its perception of idealism as unreachable or unattainable except through irony.

Hollywood films 1990-2010 contain themes of ironic idealism or idealism viewed ironically.
