			== Error with the revolver? ==

			When the man is pointing his gun at the cannibal he shoots, you can clearly see 2 rounds in the cylinder on the left(when the barrel is pointed towards the camera). Shouldn't you only be able to see one round as the other is chambered, or whatever the nomenclature is for a revolver being ready to fire? --[[User:Slemke1998\|Slemke1998]] ([[User talk:Slemke1998\|talk]]) 17:13, 17 June 2018 (EDT)

	:::Did you read the novel ''[[The Postman]]'' is based on instead of seeing the film adaptation?

A common link among the films you mentioned is that the government is largely MIA during the course of their stories. A film like ''[[By Dawn's Early Light]]'' is different in that it focuses on what the world's governments did during the middle of a nuclear war, and should be more well known.		:::Did you read the novel ''[[The Postman]]'' is based on instead of seeing the film adaptation?
