Not religious enough

For me, the only highlight of this film is the part where the male protagonist looks at people with a kitchen knife. But his knife was too fast, and it was not easy to chop bones and meat.
As for the Bible, it's pure nonsense.
What is the sacred meaning of the Bible? Where is the faith? The male pig's feet traveled across the North American continent, staring at a Braille Bible every night, so that 30 years later, he could recite this magical book upside down. However, he only knew to complete his mission all the way west, knowing that in the last years, when a male pig's foot met a female pig's foot, he understood the true meaning of the Bible and wanted to help others.
It can be seen that the power of the Bible is not in the scripture itself, but in everyone's heart.
In fact, in troubled times, cults should be rampant, and that Carnegie should ask Li Hongzhi to be his master. Maybe it will be more promising.
As for the male pig's feet, the purpose of existence should be changed from a single-task operator to a preacher, which is more religious, haha.

The Book of Eli quotes

  • Eli: They say the war tore a hole in the sky, you've probably heard the stories.

    Solara: Yeah.

    Eli: The war tore a hole in the sky, the sun came down, burnt everything, everyone, I wandered, I didn't really know what I should do or where I was going. I was just moving from place to place, trying to stay alive. And then one day I heard this voice. I don't know how to explain it, it's like it was coming from inside me. But I could hear it clear as day. Clear as I can hear you talking to me now. It told me to carry the book west, it told me that a path would be laid out before me, that I'd be led to a place where the book would be safe. It told me I'd be protected, against anyone or anything that tried to stand in my way. If only I would have faith. That was thirty years ago and I've been walking ever since.

    Solara: And you did all this because a voice told you to?

    Eli: I know what I hear, I know what I heard, I know I'm not crazy, I didn't imagine it

  • Hoyt: [seeing two dead hijackers] It's like he's protected somehow. Like there's nothing that can touch him

    Carnegie: Oh, he's just a fucking man. You put a bullet in him, he'll go down like any other.
