Intertextuality of mad men
One of the key features that make 'mad men' post modern is its heavy use of intertexuality. One of the intertexual references is from the opening sequence of 'casino royale'. It also uses influences from Saulbass like the images of silohettes and the falling man. Also the falling man is an intertexual reference from 911 when the man is falling down the building. The name as well plays upon the word 'mad men' because this is what the advertising people in manhatten are called.
