Title: definitely post-apocalyptic...
Product review: ...and yet as bad as the film was, I liked it. No, Costner can't do Shakespeare, not even a little. No, General Bethlehem wasn't an interesting villain. The film dragged, the Postman spent nearly all of it on the run and at the very end magically appeared with an army behind him, and Tom Petty's part was funny (such a stoner) but too short.For me, what worked was the theme of a man who doesn't believe in himself working miracles partly by deception and partly by being misunderstood and idealized. I liked the struggle with which the Postman finally takes on the mantle of responsibility. I liked that the enemy movement was called "holnest," a logical outcome of our manic obsession with "wholeness." And I liked the gun-wielding girlfriend.Seems like we could all learn from the new "Rule One: No More Killing."
