This was a GOOD movie: it had a strong and intelligent story excellent and interesting characters and real feel for the post-Apocalypse genre.
I loved this film and was very impressed with the loving amount of dedication that it demonstrates on the part of the actors, writers and director. I truly do NOT understand why The Postman was attacked as viscously as it was by the film media (there films much more worthy of the Golden Raspberry Awards in 1997). Even the act of taking the jacket off of the remains (and certainly that of putting the jacket on himself) would have pulled the fabric apart. Given enough time and a suitable environment this combination of byproducts, with the addition of the bacteria that will inevitably emerge, would make any cloth or fabric (with the exception of treated leather products) not only disgustingly filthy, but also so weakened from exposure to what amounts to a corrosive liquid, that the fibers would tear apart from any stresses put on them. In the final stages of decomposition, this is referred to as liquefacation or liquiescence. As the tissues break down, many chemicals and enzymes are released, including the hydrochloric acid of the digestive system. When a person dies, the body goes through many stages of decomposition on its way to being merely a skeleton.
The problem here is the condition of the clothing he takes. The main character assumes his role because he found an old abandoned mail truck containing the remains of a long dead mailman and pilfered the uniform from the skeleton.
