The Postman
In 2013, there are no highways, no I-ways, no dreams of a better tomorrow, only scattered survivors across what was once the United States. Into this apocalyptic wasteland comes an enigmatic drifter with a mule, a knack for Shakespeare, and something yet undiscovered: the power to inspire hope. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →In memory, Waterworld and The Postman (1997) often get merged. But in reality Waterworld was the movie that made people say Costner was grandiose and difficult to work with; The Postman (which ran 3 hours and couldn't even gross $20M) was the movie that made the industry say, okay, he's done.

The illicit lovers deserve what happens to them not just bcz they're ruthless estate thieves but because they keep ignoring clear signs that the universe doesn't want them to do this.

unlabelledView post →It's almost like movies, paintings, and a TV *series centered on a mystery* are different art forms. And yet, people who like long stretches of beautiful nothing somehow disliked The Postman. (It wasn't such a bad movie, if you FF through some of the...well, you know.)

unlabelledView post →Books to film 📚=🎞️ The Postman (1985) by David Brin was adapted (1997) by Kevin Costner. Advanced tech from the book is removed as the film presents a simpler post-Apocalyptic landscape. The importance of communication is downplayed for the film's message of social unity. 👮🏽♂️✉️📬 #filmsky #booksky
unlabelledView post →3/3...it got a wacky plot and mutant humans added with ZERO explanation and I think that punted people out of the immersion. And The Postman? Literally a movie about a guy trying to reconnect a broken world. So, what I'm saying is give them a watch with fresh eyes and see how they look.

unlabelledView post →One movie a day for 365 days. 83/365. The best version of The Postman Always Rings Twice is Bob Rafelson's. I've seen it hundreds of times and each time I find its gritty realism, its lust, its desperation so forceful. Much depends on Jessica and Jack's greatness too. A masterpiece.

In 1932, the German artist Max Ernst created a collage titled The Postman Cheval. ... In 1969, André Malraux, the minister of Culture, declared the Palais a cultural landmark and had it officially protected.
unlabelledView post →THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE (Tay Garnett, 1946, rewatch). A hot, steamy noir for a hot, steamy night. Lana Turner is terrific in this, although it’s a stretch to buy into Cora’s marriage to Nick. Great support from Hume Cronyn, Leon Ames & Audrey Totter (a big impact in a small role). #FilmSky

Like Bethlehem (and other authoritarians), even when fairly and fully beaten, they will NEVER stop, will NEVER give up. Only one thing will ensure that.

It is not: “Ossessione” (1943)- the Italian version of the Postman Always Rings Twice “Obsession” (1976) - Brian De Palma’s nod to Vertigo “Obsession” (2025) – that is a horror film It is also NOT a perfume. 🤣 #TCMParty #TheNoirCollective #Obsession
