The Story of Giving the Letter (Bible) to Garcia

First of all, this is a movie with the theme of the end of the world. Personally, it feels a bit like the Big Divine Fist. The tone of the movie is quite dark, but it also fits the background of the end of the world.

Secondly, many scenes of fighting gunfights and highways seem to be a Western, not a Western with heavy metal blood, but a low-cost Western.

Finally, the core of the film is the spirit of religion, the main theme of old beauty, and the belief in sending the letter to Garcia. During the process of delivering the bible, the male protagonist was invincible, and he would not die no matter how he was beaten.

In short, this is an old American theme movie, a hodgepodge of hodgepodge, simple plot, and mediocre in every aspect.

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.
