Haven't you seen Kevin Costner's The Postman?
They rebuilt our civilisation!

Hello. Perhaps you're new to English, in which case, may I offer some words of friendly advice?
You don't need to use an article - a word like "a" or "the" - after a pronoun indicating possession. So you would just say "Kevin Costner's postman", not "Kevin Costner's the postman." In the same way, you might say "Have you seen the keys?", or "Have you seen my keys?", but not "Have you seen my the keys?"

Hope this helps! Best of luck with your learning journey. X x x
