What would postmodernist history look like?

(picture unrelated) I have vaguely connected my thoughts on movie reviews to postmodernist history. In this blog, I'll try to discuss "postmodernist history" a bit more and describe this connection I've made as best as I can. Reviews of movies and other entertainment (TV shows, video games, music) are subjective. I believe there is no objective rating for any type of entertainment. Though I think most people would agree with this statement, most people make the mistake of thinking a review's value is in how "correct" it is. I think a reviews true value is in how consistent it is with the author. Let's say you're reading a review by someone who historically has hated almost every Tom Hanks movie and almost every animated movie they've seen. Let's say this person watches Toy Story 4, an animated movie with Tom Hanks voicing one of the main characters, and leaves a 5/5-star review. From this review, you would have a pretty good understanding...
