Set in 2013, after the war has destroyed most of USA, including the government. A solitary traveler is captured by a fascist military group called the Holnists led by Hitler-like General Bethlehem. When he escapes from the Holnists he finds an abandoned mail Jeep and uniform, and starts to travel through small cities, telling them he is a postman, a representative of the restored United States. No one believes him at first, but soon he has followers, and they start to prepare a revolt against Holnists.
In the year 2013 civilization has all but destroyed itself. After a war that decimated the government and most of the population of the United States (possibly the world) people struggle to survive against starvation and rogue groups of armed men. One such group is called the Wholeness. This group is bigger than any other and their leader, General Bethlehem, has delusions of ruling the country. A drifter is captured by the group and forced to join. He escapes at the first chance and happens on a mail jeep with a skeleton in it. The skeleton is wearing a postal uniform and the drifter takes it to keep him warm. He also finds a mailbag and starts conning people with old letters. The hope he sees in the people he delivers to changes his plans and he decides that he must help bring the Holnists down.
From reading prior comments, it seems that a lot of people have a hang-up about Waterworld (or about Kevin Costner).  The Postman is a wholly different movie with an epic scope (more so than Road Warrior to which it&#39;s compared), higher levels of cinematography, multiple scenes of highly choreographed actions, and an anti-hero who assumes the hero position rather than remaining an anti-hero at the end of the movie.<br/><br/>So why do so many people hate it?  From the negative comments, a lot of people didn&#39;t seem to understand it or if they did, they did not appreciate the patriotic wistfulness of the plot.<br/><br/>The Postman was an excellent two-part set of science-fiction short stories first published in an anthology magazine.  The pair of shorts had such promise that they were combined and an extended ending sequence was added.<br/><br/>In print form, the story and plot are appealing since the reader is able to bring his or her cognitive processes to bear on the patriotic aspects of the self-fulfilling prophecy of a man who inadvertently unifies a broken region of cynical people.<br/><br/>The symbol of a postal service is a strong ICONIC reminder of the lovable past that was lost to the inhabitants and the awakened patriotic emotions lead to a better life for everyone (except the cynical survivalist holnists).<br/><br/>I enjoyed the short story version the most for its epic enigmatic ending, but feared the day the movie optioned book would make it to the screen. Would a thinking man&#39;s epic movie make a financially successful movie or not?  It is hard to tell in these cynical times whether or not a movie can kindle feelings of patriotism without resorting to huge amounts of special effects in space.
There was a kernel of an idea here. But maybe it got over-watered or ran out of aqua vita when it came to dialogue, plot and acting. What&#39;s left? Scenery. The parts of AZ, Or. and WA. he used are very beautiful. I&#39;ve been to all of them. Fortunately for me, it was pre-atomic war and pre Postman, otherwise I might be saddled with thinking, &quot;Oh, there&#39;s that landscape from the Postman,&quot; like always being reminded of Elvira Madigan when hearing Mozart&#39;s 21st.<br/><br/>Kostner has a good heart. But he should just act, not direct and find a decent screen writer. The lines in this movie were so silly, so often, that I began to wish for a :-) after only those times I should be laughing. It&#39;s confusing to know when it was a joke or supposed to be taken seriously.
If you take The Postman at face value - that it's a straightforward, post- apocalyptic adventure tale, then it could seem like one of the worst movies of the year, if not of all time.
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 &quot;Squire of Sugarloaf&quot; 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&#39;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&#39;s Waterworld. Yes. Lily Costner is Irene March&#39;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&#39;s prisoner, he tried several times to rape her. However, he couldn&#39;t &quot;perform&quot;. 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&#39;s also possible he was simply impotent. As he blames Abby and beats her for his lack of arousal.  a5c7b9f00b
