Because a war has led to the return of human civilization to the "Western Era", the male protagonist is just a theatrical performer who wants to survive in the apocalypse, wandering alone in the apocalypse. On the way, he was forcibly arrested by the strongest armed organization to become a strong man. "8" is the symbol of this organization. Finally caught the opportunity to escape but almost froze to death in the wilderness, but fortunately found that the old truck can withstand the wind and rain. To keep warm, grab the clothes of the long-dead postman in the truck, burn letters, and make a fire to keep warm. When I was bored, I read letters that had been buried for many years. I accidentally read a letter written by a child to his relatives about his teeth changing. sight. New hope sprouted... The
next day, I picked up my heavy backpack and filled it with hope. After traveling a long distance to the first town, people pointed guns at his head to understand his strange behavior of delivering letters. Unexpectedly, there was a letter delivered to the right place, although it was a full fifteen years late. . Enthusiastic people surrounded him and kept asking him for information from the outside world, maybe to have a good meal, maybe because he didn't want people to be disappointed, maybe because he didn't know how to answer, he had to make up that the country was rebuilding. The lie, gave them a tomorrow they could pray for, and ignited the fire of facing reality in a child's heart.
Because of the conflict with the "8" army, he had to live in seclusion to recuperate. He did not expect to return to the town a few months later and set up a large-scale post office. The tender teeth in the hands of the male protagonist have sprouted in the hearts of young children.
The film's two battles with the 8th Army, including the final battle, directly omits the preparation process, but it does not appear abrupt at all. It just follows the rhythm of the audience's heart, and the connection is very tight.
At the end of the film, the male protagonist challenges the general as a member of the "8" army. As the general said, it was the general who made the hero. "Where there is oppression, there is resistance." Times create heroes, wars forge generals, heroes create the times, the generals make the male protagonist, and the male protagonist creates a new era - peace. Human beings are always repeating the dynamic balance of long-term separation and long-term separation. Maybe the mark of "8" on the male protagonist and the general is a symbol of the endless disasters like Ouroboros, and hope that born in disasters, "death" creates a cycle of "life"?
In the end, the male protagonist's name was not mentioned, but we know that his daughter's name is - Hope.
PS: It may also be that I missed the male protagonist's name, but it doesn't matter. It is said that David Brin is really a patient with severe patriotism. In the end, what popped out of the male protagonist's mouth turned out to be I believe in the United States.
