What matters is not the object of belief, but the act of belief itself.

The film progresses at a moderate speed, and the suspense setting is also linked (unlike some films that only feel cheated once and for all after watching). There are not too many dialogues in the film, and the foreign background music is always inserted at the right time, so as not to let the audience wander into outer space or remember some wrong details in the film too much~

I watched the first half of the film with a little ridicule. I know it's wrong to laugh at a belief, but I really don't believe that a bible can protect someone from bullets or help a villain manipulate people. Such exaggeration of a Bible as a golden bell and iron shirt is simply speechless. . . Is this a missionary film? If so, that's too fake... It

wasn't until Eli was shot that I realized that this movie wasn't as sci-fi as I thought it would be.

(If you haven't seen the video, don't read the comments below.)









































Eli walks west with Solana empty-handed, where he begins to recite the Bible. And then we find out that Eli is blind...

the only Bible that's left in the world is actually written in Braille.

Eli endured more than 30 cold winters for the inheritance of this belief.

The object of belief is not important, what matters is the act of belief.

So I no longer struggled with how Eli was blind and shot accurately.

I got the verb faith out of it, which is enough for me to acknowledge the value of this film.

    Eli: I'm not a liar.

    Eli: I didn't say that, you said that, the road's no place for someone like you, trust me, you're safter there than you think.

    Solara: Hey.

    Eli: Yeah?

    Solara: Fuck you!
