"25.8. (Kirjasto/BD) #leffahaaste2018 Olen joskus ollut postinjakamisen ammattilainen. Nyt haaveilen runoilusta. Siksi Posteljooni oli mukava leffa. Koska olen muutenkin paskapää, niin lisäsin tämän osaksi haastetta. Onhan kyseessä uusintaversio. Musiikit muuten olivat upeat, kuvaus kaunista ja näyttely toimivaa. Knoppina elokuvan pääosanäyttelijä menehtyi heti kuvausten jälkeisenä päivänä. Se lisää tämän elokuvan tunnetta. Olisin myös tahtonut juoda punaviiniä ja syödä "

An average movie

“I remember very well when this movie was released, it was a huge critical success and, therefore, I was really eager to check it out. I even saw  the damned thing in the movie theater when it was released if I recall it correctly. Well, eventually, even though it was a decent watch, to be honest, I actually had a hard time to really care about the whole thing. I don’t know, maybe I was too young at the time to really appreciate it but it just didn’t really impress me.
