This is my favorite film of all time. Excellent story, beautiful score, perfect direction and wonderfully acted. The reluctant leader who starts a movement reminds us why people will lay their lives down for the cause of freedom. Especially poignant for today, with all the statues of our leaders and forefathers coming down. Like the postman, no man is perfect. But the ideas that they stand on and promulgate are the only things powerful enough to make humans free against the inertia of tyranny and selfishness. And we would be wise to remember and study those ideas. Watch The Postman again. It is a near-perfect movie from a talented story teller in Kevin Costner.
