In 2013, the United States has been destroyed for about 15 years, and only the very basic technology is available. Something like the Civil War, but with machine guns. After escaping an army and pretending to be a postman, Kevin Costner sets out to rebuild America.
The only bad thing I can say about this film is that some of the actors were really poor. Two or three of the minor roles had very hammy actors that ruined the scenes, but overall the acting was quite well done.
The plot is wonderful. Certain plot holes exist if you pay attention (I noticed for example that everyone knows the president is in Minneapolis, although the only time Costner said this was in private to the enemy) but the overall premise of rebuilding through the use of communication is somewhat realistic and a very intriguing idea if nothing else.
The woman playing Abby was great, maybe even greater than she was in "Rushmore" (though that film reigns supreme). The kid playing Ford Lincoln Mercury was a bit over the top, but it seemed to fit his character well. And Will Patton? A dazzling display of pure evil. As he himself says, great men make great men -- his evilness only serves to make Costner a greater hero.
The music was very odd ("Come and Get Your Love"?) and needed more Tom Petty. Petty himself needed a bigger role, and did great with the part that was given to him.
Some people will complain the film is too long (178 minutes). While I agree the film seemed long at first, once I became engrossed in the film, I would have been willing to watch another two hours of this world. You really don't want to say goodbye to Abby, the Postman or even to General Bethlehem. They are powerful and charismatic characters.
Could this film be even better than "Waterworld"? I am undecided, but it is certainly in the running as the best Kevin Costner film ever made. Ok, I know Costner has received a whole lot of bad press over his movies and this one got just as much bad reviews and comments as any other, but I couldn't help but like it! It was oddly uplifting. A small triumph of the human spirit kind of tale. If you haven't seen it already go ahead and pick it up (Or if you have and hated it try it again with a open mind). You'll spend all of 2 to 3 dollars. It is certainly worth that. Regrettably, The Postman is just one more reminder of what a nonfactor sincerity often is in terms of artistic merit. Aside from condensing storylines, the film also eliminates a number of characters and science fiction elements from the story. A significant plotline in the book is the efforts of scientists at Corvallis, Oregon to use an artificially intelligent supercomputer to help rebuild society. Similarly, in the book the leaders of the Holnists are super soldiers who were experimented on by the military in order to augment their strength and speed. The film also eliminates the "Squire of Sugarloaf" a leader of a local community who the Postman tries to enlist to help in the fight against the Holnists 1998. 15 years earlier. The film is set in 2013. Yes. It would had gone stale and rotten, after being uneaten for many years and it would had made The Postman really sick. No. Days of Our Lives and Monday Night Football was in The Postman's mind. Michael had the viral disease Mumps since he was 12 years old, which is a common childhood disease and causes a rare permanent loss of fertility in adult males. Yes he did. 2 years earlier, Kevin Costner starred as The Mariner in 1995's Waterworld. Yes. Lily Costner is Irene March's granddaughter Lily. Joe Costner is the Letter Boy, whom The Postman takes his letter, when riding past his house and Annie Costner is Ponytail, the US postal service carrier, whom finds The Postman and Abby and brings them to the US postal service HQ. Abby mentions that when she was Bethlehem's prisoner, he tried several times to rape her. However, he couldn't "perform". This may suggest that he was actually homosexual, but was desperate to try and father an heir, despite him not being attracted to women. It's also possible he was simply impotent. As he blames Abby and beats her for his lack of arousal.
