Endorsements are not useless.

First of all, it seems that the English level is similar to the general public. The title of the film should actually be called "The Book of Eli", and the letters e and i make their own sounds, not the "Eli" that is taken for granted.

To be honest, this film is very well done, whether it is the picture, the music, the plot, it is a good enough work. The post-apocalyptic era after the destruction of mankind is very authentically portrayed by the director, and the chaos, despair and hope are just right in the film. The spirit of the protagonist is also rendered less obtrusive. This biblical film, if the complex meaning of the Bible itself is put aside and is only regarded as a book, then this film is a good demonstration of the power and greatness of this book. The slight deification of the protagonist is also in line with the tone of the film. The stories are all fictional.

However, this great limitation is only in places other than Asia, the Middle East and so on. After all, there are three major religions in the world instead of one religion, and the Bibles have all been burned. Maybe the Koran and Mahayana can be developed. It is enough to have faith. As for which religion to believe, it is still greatly influenced by the surrounding environment.

After seeing so many churches in Europe, I admire the people who wrote the Bible more and more. It's understandable that this movie elevates the Bible to such a high level, but we Asians don't really buy it.

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.
