      Apocalypse movie

      The performance of the whole film is more humanistic. It gathers national strength in the face of brutality. It lacks long-term military defense and planning in the face of brutality. It rarely shows bravery. I don’t know if it is the director’s intention. Basically every family has firearms. It is hard to imagine that they will fall under the rule of a tyrant. The whole film is not so much about delivering letters as it is about delivering the hope of national reconstruction and national...

      Kevin Costner's last-ditch effort to wasteland sci-fi

      Kevin is one of the hottest Hollywood actors in the 1990s. He became popular with bodyguards and Dancing with Wolves. This film is his second attempt at a wasteland movie, and he made it at his own expense. The first attempt was called In the future, Water World was seriously underestimated at that time. The box office and word of mouth both fell at the time. The film company that released Water World almost went bankrupt. Since then, Kevin’s filming journey has been full of ups and downs. He...

      The dreamy American dream, a sci-fi resurgence

      The words written in the front: The plot of "The Postman" is like the revival of a dream. When the end of the day passes, the remaining people want to find spiritual solace, but they find that they have forgotten how to dream. The arrival of Shakespeare gave them a dream. The reason, in fact, is clear to everyone, there is no "US government", "US Postal Service", some are just a dream that is unwilling to wake up, and some people who have made the dream a reality.

      The film starts with...

      [Picture of mustard] you need cry dear, I'm going to save the world

      Like most viewers, I thought it was a typical wasteland post-apocalyptic story, with a lone hero surviving violent and bloody killings and a grey-toned ending that is so prevalent in such pessimistic themes.

      Very punk?

      Very hardcore?

      Very chicken?

      NO,no,no

      Wrong, this movie was released in Hollywood in the 1990s. Plasma movies have not yet become popular, and there is a core...

      A method for large-scale and long-term systematic preservation of the achievements of civilization

      I watched four "Mad-Max" on and off. This four-part series is said to have created a new theme of the wasteland dystopian sci-fi film. I like this kind of sci-fi film very much. The one that impressed me the most is "The Postman". After the social order collapsed and the population plummeted, he usurped the leadership of an armed force and castrated the former boss into his loyal servant

      . In fact, it also tells the story of a society in which various armed forces killed each other...

      Why did the filming end with dancing with wolves again? This film can be said to have no sense of the end of the world at all, which is far worse than "Future Water World". Again, this routine is too old-fashioned. The patriotic theme belongs to...

      It took me almost 3 hours to finish reading it. Kevin, you are already a box office poison, so you can't stop the meeting? Do you have to put the company in...

      Starring Kevin Costner: A quasi-classic film, although there are quite a few loopholes in the plot, the performance is in place, the touching part is good, the scene must be big in that era; for Kevin fans, a must-see; heard of this It's a pity I haven't seen the...

    Movie plot

    In 2013, the earth was turned into a wasteland by a devastating war. Some small countries or small villages and towns are scattered on the current American soil, and a homeless man was thrown into a Nazi-style concentration camp by the ruler. After escaping from the concentration camp, the homeless man called "William Shakespeare" accidentally found a packet of expired mail and a postman's uniform. In order to make ends meet, he began...

    • General Bethlehem: Law one. You will obey orders without question. Law two: Punishment shall be swift. Law three: Mercy is for the weak. Four: Terror will defeat reason. Five: Your allegiance is to the clan. Six: Justice can be dictated. Seven: Any clansman may challenge for leadership of the clan. Law eight: There is only one penalty. Death.

    • General Bethlehem: You see the reason you don't want to die for anything is because you have nothing to die for. That's the difference between you and me. You don't believe in anything.

      The Postman: I believe in the United States.
