The Postman (1997)

the postman
I feel this is Kevin Costner's best movie ever, thoroughly enjoyable and mind-blowing at the same time.

life is musical
I loved the VHS - the DVD was awful as it had sub-titles that I couldn't turn off. The story for me, was historical, as my great-grandfather was a postmaster in the 1800's, A history of what we take for granted today.

Cosner's storys usually have had a historical/futuristic bent: and the significance for me. His "Dances With Wolves" was superb until the 'religious right" cut the guts out of the visual explanation of the movie's title. I can't find the original movie.

I've come to view Cosner as a bigot at worse, a confused person at best and I forgive him. His religious beliefs override his being as a person; a human in his own right. The fruition of his thinking can't come forward because he's stuck in "faith."

What a loss. A great mind stuck in idealogically.

I'd pick the VHS over the DVD, any day.
