The thing is probably no one would watch a video about a movie called the Book of Eli if they hadn't seen it before
@DJ THE DUCK It's a computer generated voice aka Text-to-Speech lol
(Speaks in Russian and calls him a bastard and punches him unconscious)
@DJ THE DUCK how do you think this voice is real. Like wtf
@DJ THE DUCK he types a monologue and has a computer do text to speech
I remember being theaters watching this as a kid and it was crazy thinking about the whole concept of a post apocalyptic world because I hadn’t really seen anything like it.
Reality for a post nuclear war would be far worse. In fact the northern hemisphere would have very few survivors. Some studies show as little as 100-300 million people left on Earth afterwards. 300 million is about the total population of the Earth in 1AD. So the biblical thing is kind of fitting.
This is only good thing about it
I remember watching part of it as a kid. I forgot about it, until last year I found the movie during quarantine and watched it. I knew glimpses of it, but didn’t knew the movie
Same, I didn't watch the Mad Max movies yet and the only post-apocalyptic film I saw was "Terminator Salvation" (which is better than the sequels that followed, but it's really NOT saying much...), so watching this movie was pretty damn neat.
I had watched mad max as a kid and a lot of zombie movies. I think playing fallout 3 was my first real feeling of a post apocalypse and this movie had me hooked just based on that alone
The reveal that Eli was blind was one of the best reveals I've seen in movies
Or possibly , the best one we didn't see!
But it made no sense, he obviously had sight, as in the beginning he got scared when he opened the door and there was a hanging body there.
@@JVN.E probably smelled it
Really? Right at the beginning of the movie, he opened a closet and SEEN a dead person hanging, and reacted startled. How is that a great reveal? It's bullshit.
@@roo3434 Even more so, how did he shoot the cat? How did he know it was there?
How did he directly look at certain people before they announced their presence? it's obvious that he has some kind of supernatural power god gave him, wich, in my opinion, makes him being blind completely useless to the plot.

I find it unbelievable that a Bible is rare, it’s in every hotel room, every church and book store, it is the single most printed book to ever exist... and yet in this world they only have the one
Pretty sure in the movie it was said that they burned the Bible
Jose Colon exactly what i was thinking when I watched this movie lol. There is no way every bible is burned or destroyed, intentionally or otherwise. There are just so many copies of that thing, from people's homes to churches and hotels to bookstores. If they were able to find all those other books, they would have probably run into a couple dozen bibles at least.
@@simonphoenix3789 No kidding, I literally found a Bible in my home, that I had no idea was even there, they pop up like roaches.
And to be fair, people would forget it and create a whole new religion
@@carloseduardolimagoncalves6761 interestingly enough, that would be worse... even tho likely.
Also, just because the world ends, it won’t mean the already faithful will turn on their god, if anything it will probably strengthen it, and only the faithless could start a new one if not join an already existing one
Im pretty positive that Solara's mom could still remember how to read it, as that is what her brief smile is hinting at, but she chooses to lie to Carnagie so he can never have access to Bible.
That’s what I think.
I thought that too.
I know right, I was worried he would kill her when I first watched this but Im happy she survived. Makes me fear what would happen to women if this ever happened, have to protect my sister, mother, friends and family as best I can if thats ever the case. Thank god for guns

smart plot because uniting people under a faith is actually super smart for rebuilding a society and gaining the peoples loyalty
yeah the villain was very intelligent and manipulative, but also recklessly committed to his vision, making him a believable antagonist
@@Vizaru Thing is it's a dumb plot because the main villain was already charismatic enough to lash together a community and talk a bunch of morons into sacrificing themselves for his whims.
The setting is great, the cinematography top notch, and the acting just as good. But the underlying storyline is laughable and utterly pointless to begin with. Dude could have just made up bullshit he halfassedly remembered since he WAS alive during the time the book was around, and was forced to watch thieving priests and pastors ruin his mothers life until he snapped and killed her.
Shits in the special features of the blue ray, a half animated comic really that explains his reasoning further.
@@jbreitz87 I dislike your comment. It's very distasteful.
It's basically about the corruption of the church
faith like the bible is always essential in times of need. its why religon is so much more popular in 3rd world countries but diminishing in more developed ones.

I watch this movie when I was younger and when Eli gave up the book to save the girl it taught me the life lesson I never forget, treat people how you want to be treated 👍
Ironically, isn't that line "treat people how you want to be treated" originated from the Bible?
@@pershop4950yes it is, it’s the rule that Jesus gave to his apostles
"Dear Lord, thank you for giving me the strength and the conviction to complete the task you entrusted to me.
Thank you for guiding me straight and true through the many obstacles in my path, and for keeping me resolute when all around seemed lost.
Thank you for your protection and your many signs along the way.
Thank you for any good that I may have done, I'm so sorry about the bad.
Thank you for the friend I made.
Please watch over her as you watched over me.
Thank you for finally allowing me to rest.
I'm so very tired, but I go now to my rest at peace.
Knowing that I have done right with my time on this earth.
I fought the good fight,
I finished the race,
I kept the faith."

Oh that makes sense why he only shot people who shot at him, it's because he couldn't hear the others.
to be fair it seems as though he has divine sensory powers anyways
@Raven Rav Read the comment again?
@Raven Rav bruh what is so hard to get?
He cant see so when someone points a gun at him he wouldn't know, he would only attack when he hears gunshots directed to him
personally i don't see it this way. (but it does make sense) i think due to the Christian undertone the entire time while blind he is simply guided by God. it is only when he is shot at that he defends himself. by the end of the movie he literally recites the entire bible so it can be written and read by everyone not just him.
which begs the question why the villain in the first place wasn't allowed access to the bible. because he would've used it as a weapon.
@Raven Rav do you have bad english?
I bet that Solara’s mother denied to tell him she could interpret Braille due to carnegies sinful actions, realizing that she has one ability over him. So since she knows it’s the Bible, she wouldn’t tell Carnegie that she can read it. And plus, even if she did tell him but denied to read it, Carnegie couldn’t kill her due to her being the only one knowing Braille.
Thanks captain obvious
Narrator: "Eli observes that the old woman's hands were shaking, meaning she is a cannibal."

Dude has the power of God and Anime on his side.
This movie is typology or the ability to the spiritual sense of scripture. Its typological due to Eli being Elijiah in the bible and Solara being Elisha. When Elijah died Elisha became the new prophet and carried out his missions much like Moses and Aaron.
More like Moses and Joshua, but you explained it nice
but eli completed his mission
Nice! Elijah didn’t die though, he was carried up to heaven in chariots
So wait, is Eli and Solara like Elijah and Elisha or Moses and Aaron?

This channel is by far the most consistent on yt
That's why he's been getting all the subs. :)
"like magic, the hand is cut clean" love this commentary.
I remember going to see this movie while I was in training. Had no idea what I went to see but I enjoyed every minute of it. I think the best part of it was Gary Oldman going through the same nervous frustration after opening something like he did in The Fifth Element.
This movie is an excellent commentary on religion and how we interact with it. Eli represents those who truly believe its teachings and takes its overall messages to heart, whereas Carnegie represents those who CLAIM to believe only to use those messages to further their own goals to the detriment of others.
As a Christian myself, this central message was the biggest selling point for me. Eli saw these teachings as a genuine hope for the future, whereas Carnegie saw it as a tool to control others.
It shows how true believers will use religion and God's Word for its intended purpose: to bring salvation and hope to people.
But it also warns us against evil: those who seek to corrupt God's word, using it to oppress others and profit off of them.
Gary Oldman is one of the best actors I’ve ever seen, being able to play villain and hero and some anti-hero’s.
This film is so damn good and so underrated tho, ngl

the plot twist and the one-shot scene were so phenomenal
This is one of my Top 5 favourite movies ever. It brings back lots of memories...
Criminally underrated movie. Just rewatched with some buddies who hadn’t seen it and they loved it
Edit: the bridge at 11:20 is the Golden Gate Bridge by the way
This is one of my most favorite movies of all time and it’s extremely underrated.
Actually Solara mother does indeed remember how to read that is why she smile at the end, because she probably heard those word a thousand times already when she is with her "husband", also those word has to be powerful hence why she crack a wide grin at the end
“How the sky opened up and burning everything and everyone only leaving a few lucky alive”
Idk man kinda sounds like scp-001
In the end after listening to Eli Bible verses they stopped him and say we already have so many Bibles in our storage. We thought you bring something new. Drifter.
One of the movies who really want the protagonist to not die to the point where hes like a god
considering the christian undertone i think its safe to say God had a plan for him and watched out for him.....he was also blind....so....obviously miracles had been happening
@@johnrose2993 ok
This is was amazing. All the times I watched this. I still wonder( “is he blind?”) or not blind just knows How to read braille
Partially.
pretty much blind, he sees by faith not by sight. with that he only ever reacts to sounds of others, he also does a click every so often for echo location
@Deep Claymore Anything for faith
He is constantly making eye contact with people so....
I love how the biggest plot twist is that he is blind the entire time
That ending solves the plot hole of Eli just using the sun to travel west, since Carnagy asked Eli what happened before the world went to shit, meaning that Eli, if he had eyes, would know how to navigate with just the sun...
Also this is Journey to the West but Christian... I love it
This is a great religious movie. It doesn't shove it down your throat but instead entertain you and sends a message about faith through hidden meanings and symbolism.
Him being blind makes more sense why he didn't help while walking.
"Eat together and pray, resembling a date"
When I first watched this movie, I was shocked. I didn't understand the context before I started watching and it was the first of this type of movie I saw.
The scene with the old people kept me up at night for a few days. Whenever I hear the song "Ring My Bell" it reminds me of it (and also Mila Kunis smiling like it's the first she's ever heard music, which is nice).... then the old man says "I think we have a little meat somewhere" and pulls out the human sandwiches...
This man would have became a saint for helping the words of god survive
“Every billet barely grazing him as if the power of faith is protecting him.”
I just assumed it was because he was the protagonist and they rarely get shot.
He gets shot
I dont remember from where i learned this, but someone said to me that eli was blind. Which was quite a surprise to me with all the things he did in the movie.
Eli is able to do those things because his power comes through God helping him.
People fighting over a book is a lot closer to reality as it may seem
This movie takes the phrase
Walk by faith not be sight
To a whole nother level
This is an amazing movie. The storyline and the plot twists at the end were incredible to watch.
When you watch this movie twice you start to see it differently, like hpw eli new how the elderly lady was a cannibal was because her hand was shaking because of the rapid clinking of the cup she was holding.
There are so many moments like this that are super subtle and you don't notice them until you watch a second time.
He doesn't shoot the cat until it meows. He doesn't acknowledge the hanging man's boots until he feels them. He backs up into the darkness under the overpass to put his attackers at a disadvantage. He kicks the front step with his boot without looking, so he knows where it is (Solara on the other hand, looks down at it).
10/10
Beautiful and dynamic musical score, flawless world building, A+ fight scenes, PERFECT characters. Great ending and a great message for a great movie
Also, The Book Of Eli had SO MUCH wasted potential, that it's astounding to me how people just gave up and forgot it, other than the movie, i haven't seen anything else about this story, which is ridiculous, because this could have become so much more
If the creators followed the movie up with prequel or sequel content, it would have become one of the most mainstream movie series of all time for sure, if they made a series about it, it would have rivaled classics like The Walking Dead and Breaking Bad, if they made comics about it, they would have probably competed with MARVEL comics
My idea is 1 prequel movie, 2 sequel movies, and a 2 season series
Prequel: it shows what life was like for young Eli, how the apocalypse really happened and showcases his early journey heading west
Sequels: the first one shows Solara protecting the town that used to be governed by Carnegie, she keeps the people away from the brink of chaos while setting an example, and in the sequel, Solara dies protecting the people, leaving the legacy of her and Eli's faith to the people of that town to carry on
Miniseries: the first season shows the journey Solara took on in order to get back home with her mother, maybe in the way she runs into and finally ends the gang that attacked her and Eli in the first movie, freeing the woman they were using as bait for so long, the second season shows how the people of Alcatraz finally went out to the outside world to spread all the knowledge they had compilated while perhaps showcasing new villains, baiting the audience to more seasons or movies
THERE, if they had done something like that with the story, you would have one of the best franchises ever, probably of all time
i remember watching this movie as a child and i could not have explained this better
The fact he was blind was a good twist
This movie deserves a sequel.
Kind of insane though that despite them having so many different UNIQUE books they don't have a single BIBLE??? Like go to America and you'll find one in every motel room what the heck lmao

bro he did a UNO reverse moment, he fed a cat to a rat
now every christian has a bible in their post apocalyptic safe
As a Catholic, I’ve got mine.
This movie just wants us soooooo bad to understand that eli is a badass
So you’re telling me that there are books that maybe had a million copies made survive? But not the damn bible? I swear there’s enough bibles for at least half the population
I mean it depends on what version of the Bible eli had
He could have been carrying the closest thing to the original version
Yup....it’s called a fiction movie
It’s hinted at in the movie that all copies of the Bible were burned/destroyed for some reason or another before the bombs fell
When the movie has an actual reason for the massive amount of plot armor the protagonist has.
I love he speeds up talking during the shoot-out escene with full sarcasm
Plot twist: the printing of the bible sparks a new crusade making the world even more violent.
To my Christian brothers and sisters everywhere:
Please dont forget to read your Bibles everyday
wait is this movie just religious propaganda lol
Yup
No. This movie shows the power of belief in a purpose greater than yourself. Faith binds communities together for a common good and shared values
this is one of those few movies i lowkey wish i watched instead of watching a recap of it
It doesn't matter what religion you do or don't believe in this is a good movie because a man doing all of that just in his own faith is something powerful
An item that restores mankind, and you have to go west? Sounds like SCP-2000 to me
"In the background, a cat is scavenging and looking for something to fill its scrawny body."
