THE POSTMAN(1997)
Ok, yes, this is very long(almost 3 hours)! But to set up
the scope of the preoblems thatt have befallen the world
after the last great war, it pretty much had to be that
long!! Anyway, this is a great movie no matter what you
may read! Well worth a watch every once in a while!!
And the final song is one of the most beautiful renditons
of the great John Sabastian and the Lovin' Spoonfull's
"You Didn't Have To Be So Nice" that I've eveer heard! A
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
This is Costner's second attempt at the 'man who will save
us role' and like the first one (Waterworld) I liked it.
The Postman received a lot of criticism (as did WW) again
for being a little self indulgent. Its the third film
(WW and Wolves) that shows Costner has no idea how to
edit. If he shoots it, its in the movie!
That issue aside, the Postman sets up a great 'world'
with some nice characters as it explores the denigration
of humanity. Another plus is the dealing with a post
apocalyptic world without replicating anything Mad
Maxish, the same challenge for movies delving in
archaeology and Indiana Jones. Its hard not to be accused
of being a clone and the Postman does that pretty
well :) - damianphelps
