Book of Faith

Religion is actually a kind of belief, the power of believing in goodness. It can only be said that the audience of this film is too small, just like the "Jailbreaker" that I watched before, non-Christians or a place like China that is not dominated by Christianity will not feel it after watching it. But I think in Europe and America, where Christianity is prevalent, people will resonate. Just like Buddhism has recently received attention in China, if a Buddhist film is made in Europe and America, I guess people will not resonate with it, and they will also give it a bad name.

When it comes to belief, in fact, I already felt a long time ago that without belief, there is no reverence, and some detrimental things will be done to benefit others. Needless to say, the Internet is very dangerous.

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.
