Jacques Derrida is well known for his semiotic analysis which is known as deconstruction which often associated with postmodernism. In his lecture "Structure, Sign, and Play," Derrida decenters the idea of structuralism. “The center is not the center. The concept of a centered structure…is contradictorily coherent. And, as always, coherence in contradiction expresses the force of desire.” He believes that the center doesn't exist naturally because people will always have to relate it to something else they recognize. However it is needed to be cleared that it does not mean that the center does not exist at all. Relating this idea into Kick-Ass, it seems that Kick-Ass' unique storyline and postmodern elements are all supporting the idea of deconstruction, but is it a deconstructive movie as a whole?
