Videotape: Don DeLillo’s Illustration of Postmodernism

Don DeLillo's "Video Tape" is a short story about men, fascinated by primitive and shocking news shots. The lens is repeatedly played. It depicts a girl with a camera in the middle of a person driving a dodge just to the rear seat of her family's car. She aimed at the man and shot until he was suddenly shot and killed. The man who was watching videotape at home was obviously attractive and he was fascinated by the lens so he tried to have his wife see him.

The videotape of Dondelillo reflects postmodern in society. The reader can understand who the hero is and the focus of the story. The story develops mainly on girls innocently recording video. Essentially, the focus is on the storyteller who saw the videotape actually played on the television. Therefore, there are two perspectives in the story, but there is a view that when a girl is recording in a car, there is a criminal coincidence on the video tape of the girl.

Don Delillo is a prophet of an American novel. White noise was published in 1985, the final interpretation of the post modern era and the rise of technology. The hero is the head of the Hitler research department trying to escape death. Just as the hero and his friends visit the most popular barn in America, there are lots of irony, absurd conversations touching the ubiquitous image of our pixelated era. The tourists clustered in the barn did not see it, but saw the totem where the barn was, took it in the picture, and then clustered with the masses. When politics becomes a real show, his depiction of the real world DeLillo's reality distortion and real world and analog content can no longer be recognized is particularly noticeable.
