One star for bird's eye view special effects, one star for Denzel Washington

The Christian version of "Dangerous Way to the End" is far less profound. One star for the bird's-eye view special effects, and one star for Denzel Washington.

The humanity of the post-apocalyptic world is even more terrible than the devastated land. This is also shown in "The Book of Avery", but the expressive power of its religious core is weaker. In fact, the literary beauty and power of faith in the "Bible" itself can be rendered more intensely. For example, the prayer before the meal and the recitation before the fire are more contagious. It's a pity that the film is too simple to taste, but uses a large section of it. The preaching monologues and dialogues are greasy and crooked. The character of Eli, played by Washington, is even more confusing: watching the first half of the actor swiftly swinging his sword to an enemy ten, he has nothing to do with the bullet rain within ten meters, thinking that he is a saint of the new century; I didn’t expect to be shot in a flash. Heir to the "World Cultural Heritage" who insisted on preaching after the bloodshed. . . -_-b In

general, the religious villains in movies are usually religious to the extreme. The villain in this film is unique. He is not a devout believer himself, but persistently pursues the "Bible" and wants to rule the society by the power of faith. You said that you have that skill, it is better to learn from Li Wheels and stand by yourself as the leader.

The last thing I want to talk about is the ending of the movie. Can you be more hypocritical? Washington shaved her beard and put on a white shirt to make herself a yoga master, and Mila Kunis ended up pretending to be cool as Julie in "Tomb Raider".

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.
