So many echoes before and after I didn't even notice

At first, I thought the color scheme was cool and wanted to see it. Didn't expect it to be about religion.

The old lady was shaking her hands when she was holding the plate. I thought it was funny at first. I forgot that the shaking hands were cannibals.

It's amazing that the bible is in braille because I thought he memorized it a long time ago and then wrote it on that bible and I never found out that Eli was blind (someone listed a lot in the comments...)

It's a pity that Eli's name is not written in the title of the book at the end

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.
