God's way

Is the hero blind? When I saw that the last Bible was in Braille, I had a question mark on my face. I didn't think he was blind at all and didn't think he would be blind at all. Later, I remembered the previous details. He squatted against the wall and read a book (touched with his hands), and when he went to the old couple's house, he used a gun to reach the door (I thought it was strange to knock on the door, so he should be trying to find the door. The camera also gave a close-up of the old couple's sign prohibiting trespassing. He is not a troublemaker, and he can't see the sign.) It turns out that after the end of the world, religion and water have become a necessity Yes, the sense of heaviness brought by the Bible, and the broken bridges that are often seen in disaster films. I don't know where he came from, that is to say, he is going to the west, and he is very skilled. He said it was a voice that directed him to the Bible, and the voice told him to go to the west. Because it was shot in the United States, it may have been shot with the Bible. The path he took was not to spread morality, but his own beliefs. Carnegie also had the Bible in his heart, but he was two different people. Carnegie had the resources. He said that he wanted to print and distribute the Bible. This is also the purpose of Avery's journey westward, that is, to send the Bible to a safe place. At first I did think it was a good idea to give the Bible to Carnegie, because he believed in Jesus, and he didn't want to trick the book into burning. After thinking about it, he is a dictator who wants to control people with his teachings and consolidate his rule. What he wants is not the Bible, he can do any scriptures, maybe he will make up his own doctrine, just to make people believe him. Eli is walking the way of God. The Bible can be snatched away, and the faith lives on. When he finally memorized the Bible, I thought God should look like that.

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.
