The postman symbolizes hope. A long time ago, there were no telephones and no cars. Time was slow at that time. There were only horses and letters. Letters did bring people hope and encouragement. Looking back on my student days, from handwritten letters to when I used e-mail to communicate with a netizen, every time I send a letter, I look forward to a reply, and the moment I read the letter is even more enjoyable. Miss the days of communicating with H and bugs.
After Kevin Costner reached the peak of his life in "Dancing With Wolves", he couldn't get down, always thinking about another world-shattering masterpiece, and then wrote, directed and acted in the big investment "Future Water World" box office word of mouth double blow Street (more than 200 million US dollars investment, the global box office is only more than 200 million), and then he wrote, directed and acted in "The Postman", which is also a sci-fi apocalypse theme, and has a better reputation than "Future", but the box office is better than "Future". ". However, the performance projects produced by Universal Studios based on "Future Water World" have not faded, and even affected parks all over the world to imitate (such as Chimelong, Happy Valley and Hengdian have followed the trend), "derivatives" have always been It is a larger income outside the box office of Hollywood movies, so Universal has no loss in the long run. Probably this is the reason why Qiyun Goldstein has the opportunity to make another sci-fi "epic masterpiece".
But there were only three things to do. After these two films were thrown out, Kevin's career fell into disrepair, and he never had the opportunity to shoot such a big production. It's really too big to pull the egg, and it's not a good thing to reach the peak of life all of a sudden, because after the most hi, it's very painful to find no way to feel more hi.
The movie is based on a science fiction novel. In today's words, it is IP adaptation.
Frankly speaking, this "Postman" is still ok, the story is complete, very Hollywood, but the time is too long, in fact, the plot of the previous concentration camp can be cut off a lot.
This is actually a western in apocalyptic packaging. But Americans are sick of Westerns, and it's hard to make a stunning Western.
The movie took a forward-looking black boy, who was very responsible. He was simply the incarnation of Lincoln. If this film was released in the past two years, it would definitely be more explosive than "Black Panther". Ha ha. Time is also life.
Originally, I expected the city of the dam to have an ultimate showdown with the villain army, but I didn't expect it to end in the one-off end of the Western. Too disappointed. This so-called transmission of the idea of peace is really ridiculous.
I originally thought of this film as a microcosm of the American Civil War, but I thought too much.
Olivia Williams is beautiful.
