Regarding faith, don’t be logical or rational

Many people watch this film, using logic and rational analysis in their usual style.
But this is a movie about faith!
Belief must not be logic, argument, or rational proof! It is to believe, then persevere, and finally get enlightenment!
How does this movie feel to you as a whole? Don't use logic, don't use analysis, just feel it! ! ! Please feel it, that great love (justice is great love), that firmness, and perseverance!
This is why I give 5 stars.

Belief, what this film tells us is that there are three stages of belief: belief, persistence, and finally revelation. Believe without reason, and then because of this kind of believing obsessed with one thing, finally get revelation from this thing, which is called "God's revelation."

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.
