While it may not be everyone's cup of tea, The Book of Eli takes a look at what could happen after a nuclear war eradicates most of the life on Earth, and different paths the survivors might take. It is a film that shows both the best and worst of human nature, but manages to leave a mostly optimistic message that good does triumph over evil in the end. While there is very little character development in the film, it is well-cast, with Denzel Washington as the enigmatic Eli (on a mission from God) and Gary Oldman, who is on the same mission, but for Satan.
There is a plot-twist at the end which most people won't see coming that is similar to the one in the Sixth Sense as far as the shock value. You'll probably find yourself watching the movie a second time, looking for clues that you missed on the first viewing.
Thought provoking, grim future outlook, apocalyptic.
The movie itself is excellent and is why I ordered it. The video quality of this blu ray recording however is deplorable! Looks like a pirated rendition of the movie. The satellite broadcast version is far superior. Very disappointing!
Denzel Washington (Eli) Gary Oldman (leader or mayor of a town )
Eli found a special book after the nuclear war. At times, it looks like Eli unaware of his surroundings. A higher calling keeps him moving. Thieves and cut throat murderers and corrupt mayor's all think God can be used for their own agenda. Eli is determined to get a book to where it belongs. Once Gary Oldman has the book he finds he can't read it. Denzel heads to old Alcatraz with the book. And a young woman who travels with Denzel-she learns many lessons along the way-including what happens to those you betray.
Of course it's a movie but it makes you think about human survival, and the sins of mankind and the journey to redemption and renewal. Great plot and memorable.
A new age movie based on the Faith of a man alone and against whats left of a world that only exists. A inspiration in movie making at it's best. Denzel shines!!
