Wow. And I thought the Postman was boring.

Dear Sir,

I thought the Postman was both gripping and exciting. Highly underrated film.

It was amazing. I've never seen a movie with so little dialogue in my entire life. It would give five or ten minutes with scene after scene going by with literally no one saying a word. That must have been a really boring shoot.

DIRECTOR: Okay, Colin, I want you to walk over there, look at Pocahontas, and walk away.
COLIN: Okay. Then what?
DIRECTOR: Then we shoot the scene where you walk into the colonists' fort, look at the colonists, and walk away. Then we'll call it a day.
