The Postman (1997)
A real introduction into a subliminal cult that exists today
I am disappointed that Kevin Costner lowered his acting abilities to place himself in this movie. The billing to compare this to quality and wonder of Dancing with Wolves was a sham and misleading. If I did not know any better, you might think this was a Mormon plot of sorts, with the polygamy and weirdness of it taking place right in Mormon Country, Idaho and Utah. Using Old Testament and Mormon reasons for the sharing of women and it's polygamist innuendos were more than alarming. The injecting of African decent actors was more than a patronization of the story line. Worse, using the United States preambles all within this maze of the true religion as subliminal as it pretended and it's people was awful. One wonders what was going on in the minds at WB to produce such a worthless piece of entertainment (entertainment - it is was not). The story and events are corny and can only be described as more of an introduction into the cult like culture of the current day territory and region. This movie deserves an NC-17 rating for it's immorality and it's deceptive story line that recklessly embellishes and twists realities into illiterate thinking.
