You definitely have to lean into the mysticism BS of the movie to really love it. Otherwise it's really just kind of a poor man's M. Night movie where the twist is interesting in that it makes you reconsider all the crazy action before - but only a little bit, because again it's in the context of the supernatural/religious. I know personally when I first saw it I was kind of in awe of it but these days I've become a great deal more honest about the power of belief...and how it's really just insanity.

@@BM-hb2mr technically he could be 90% blind or still unable to se the body but 100% smell it. I like to think he's not 100% blind because opening scene shows him hunting a cat from range and 1 shooting it with a makeshift bow n arrow.. Now I know losing one of the core 5 sensed strengthens your other ones.. But him being 100% blind implies he's supernaturally protected AND enhanced. In combat and survival. Which is why I believe he can BARWLY SEE shadows n shapes. Cuz he wss pre war.. perhaps losing majority of sight from the mukes radial light blasts. It has tons of contradictions regarding his vision... In the end it only matters to KJV Bible Christians believing he's blacked out blind and one of the gods in the old or new testaments imbued him with powers. So trying to look for logic n practicality is difficult when religion is involved.

I do think that it is a different experience once you know, but I think there's a couple times where he reacts/acts like a sighted person (which the movie infers to be divine intervention). I don't want to sound critical at all since I really do love the movie and these things were portrayed this way to make it seem as though he was sighted. In the beginning there's two things: he is able to strike the cat with a bow and arrow perfectly from like 30 yards away despite not being able to see or hear clearly since he is wearing a gasmask and the film shows how loud his breathing was (to him inside the mask it would be even louder), and when he reacted to the corpse hanging in the closet as a jump scare. He 100% should've smelled that and not reacted that way. In the town shootout, he snipes a guy that was behind him and on a rooftop effortlessly (divine intervention). Really any time he fire a gun and hit someone would be impossible, but can be chocked up to divine intervention.

@@primary2630 The only times that Eli acts as a sighted person, is when his eyes are shifting or looking directly at people when he hears them, but that's because he used to have sight. He still unconsciously activates his eye muscles to "look" in the direction of interest, unlike people who are born blind and never needed to develop the muscle activation to look in any specific direction. Gas masks are masks, not helmets. They're made to protect the eyes, nose, and mouth. They cover the face only. So, his ears are still exposed to the natural enviroment. He was able to strike the cat, and the goons in the shoot out, later on, due to his hyper-developed senses, empowered by his faith. Making his actions implausibly successful. The corpse serves as both a jump scare and as misdirection, to make us assume that Eli reacts to what we as the audience see. In reality, it's the door that fell off the hinges that make Eli jump. The sudden loud noises made him think that there was more going on than he expected from the smell alone. If you look closely, you can see his head shifting back and forth between the doors, as he's frantically tracking the sound.

⁠@@hingethunderchristian here, the Kjv is not inaccurate, but it does contain more verses than a regular, more recent translations like the niv, esv, lsb or my favorite nasb because throughout the time of scribes copying manuscripts there were additions of other verses, and wording, some think out of malice but others don't based on the fact that most of those verses are from another one of the gospels that contain them and they think that these verses where written so that people without access to the other ones may know something that was really said by Jesus and not quoted there or something written by the authors. but overall the kjv is one of the closest literal translation, the guy who wrote the kjv wrote it from more limited manuscripts (you can check James White's videos on the kjv) as oppose to the ones that produced the newer translations. but today there are available 6,000 to 5,800 manuscripts and portions of Greek (original translation) manuscripts (depends on how they're counted) and although there are many variations (millions) those variations according to textual critics like Dan Wallace and James White plus more, those variations don't affect majority if the text, Dan Wallace spoke of 99.9 or 98.9 percent of the meaning or essential doctrines are not affected, but the variations are spellings of names differently, different ways of wording the same thing in greek, and misspellings from scribes, also where there are at times "Christ" they put "Jesus Christ" or vice versa (that's considered a variation) but overall there are thousands of other manuscripts of just the new testament in other languages. plus (i heard Bruce Metzger argues for this from Voddie Baucham's "why i believe the Bible") argue that 95 or more percent of the new testament can be reconstructed based on the quotations of the early church fathers from their writings. check out James White debate with Bart Ehrman and Dan Wallace's debate with Bart also, along with Dan Wallace's video "is what we have today what they wrote then?". but overall the Bibles today contain footnotes that speak to different wordings or what other manuscripts say, etc.... also Mike Winger has a video on the addition of verses or different wordings on his channel called "how the Bible was changed"

An apocalyptic movie, trying to keep the faith alive after the end of civilization. Nothing much deeper than that. I'm not religious at all, but i still enjoy this movie 🍿

Eli quotes verses from the Bible in this movie. In the bar fight scene he quotes Genesis 3:17-19 where God curses Adam for disobeying Him by eating the forbidden fruit. In the scene with Solara he quotes the first part of Psalm 23, which is one of the most famous passages in the Bible. During the walk before they find the old couple's house, he quotes 2 Corinthians 5:8 "for we walk by faith not by sight". In the final scene, he begins to quote the entire Bible beginning in Genesis 1 with the creation of the world. And just before the credits he quotes 2 Timothy 4:7 where the Apostle Paul is about to be executed for his faith in Christ "I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith".

funny she says " maybe im blind" because so was ELI. he spent 30 years walking to find the place to keep the book. just as jesus spent his 30 years =D. when you watch it back you see from the first scene the signs you missed that he was blind. as he felt the legs of the person to feel his boots. Every other sign from him not looking people in the eye to him hearing and smelling things. the twist is fantastic.

The positive ending of how strong the human spirit is in some of us, to pevail, to do the right thing, no matter the odds. The score! Was haunting in its magnificence.

As a Christian what made this movie great to me was its ability to tell a decent story, deliver decent action scenes, and all while being respectful to Christian beliefs. Eli was an imperfect man that sinned and failed to live by what he read in the Bible he was tasked with delivering, just as many of the Christians you read about in the Bible. And in the end Eli realized his mistake.

The soundtrack for The Book of Eli is absolutely incredible & was composed by Atticus Ross; long time collaborator of Trent Reznor’s & for the past few years and touring member of Nine Inch Nails.

The song at 4:58 is "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" by Al Green In case you still wanted to know.

Wether you liked the movie or not I believe it makes you think about your faith and spiritual beliefs. I personally know my true reason for being here on this planet. I didn't realize my true purpose until a few years after my father's passing in 1985. I am not a church goer, for me wherever you are is the Church after all God created the Earth. This movie is one of my favorites because the Book of Eli was taken out of the KJV Bible along with several other books. I'd like to get a Bible or two that was printed before the KJV version just to read for myself what was written back then.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Pretty good review dear, thank you for this.

Just been going through your channel and watching some reactions recently. I love the reactions you put out. For me this movie was fun specifically because of Denzel and Mila. Their performances and dynamic are what make the movie for me. I do think that the making of the film is really interesting. Knowing that he is blind if you go back and watch again you can see how there are clues in his behavior throughout that point to that.

This is my favourite Denzel project. Thx for reacting to it!

Fun is probably not the word , maybe good . A very good move and a message or two. You had strong feelings at different points in the movie and you understood what the meanings of the book , the war , life , redemption. GOD BLESS

Al Green. Make the world go round. Classic

As far as Denzel Washington movies go, The Book of Eli isn't very highly ranked. I'd start with the one he got an Oscar for as leading man, Training Day.

Wow, she really had no idea what this movie was about going in.😂

You might not like it this movie, and that's completely fine. But if you watch it second time, you start to notice signs from the start that Eli was blind, we just assumed he wasn't and completely ignored it. That is the magic of this movie. It gets better the second time, you just need to look closely. Give it a try second time, remembering Eli was always blind. If you watch second time don't forget to tell us.

Its Al Green. Broken heart ol school

This is why I like HONEST reaction channels. I don’t like it when people say they like a movie or song just because it was recommended & they feel like they must say they like it so they don’t hurt anyone’s feelings. We all have different tastes in what we like to watch & all movies aren’t meant for everyone to like. I appreciate you watching & giving an honest opinion. This is one reason I like your channel. Another is because you don’t feel the need to constantly comment & ask a million questions nonstop like some do. I feel the constant commenting & questions (that are all answered shortly) takes away from the reaction because they can’t be paying any real attention to the movie. You stay focused on them so you understand what’s going on. I’ve seen some that talk so much they have to rewatch portions to know what’s happening. So, please, keep being honest about what you like or don’t like. It makes for a better reaction. Look forward to more from you!

He wants the book to show people that he has it, and to claim things he tells them to do are written in the book. Basically he only needs to have it, to have power over people. Basically he only wants it as legitimation of his power not because of what actually is in there. Edit: As it looks like at the end he wants to actualy read it: He needs people to know that he can read it or to know what is in there still.

The Book of Eli is ultimately about the power of ideas and how they can be wielded for good and bad purposes. Carnegie wanted to use the Bible as a means of controlling the minds of those around him, while Lombardi and Eli were keepers of knowledge who only wanted to benefit humanity.

Wow. I had to check IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes after hearing the rating you reported. IMO this movie is more like 9 out of 10. And no, I am not a religious zealot, quite the contrary. But it is a damn good film better than 95% of movies put out in the last 10 years.

This is my all time favorite Denzel movie .I saw it in the theater and didn't realize he was blind until the reveal of the Bible being in brail .I'm a little surprised you didn't really enjoy it ,but different strokes for different folks !😀👍,guess you were just Meh about it .

I imagine this film was personal to Denzel, having the rare opportunity in a mainstream movie to play a role that positively reflected his faith. His dad was a minister, so in a way I think he was able to honor his father in his acting work in this positive (though dark) portrayal of a minister / prophet. He admits he wasn't always true to his faith throughout his career, but it's become more personal for him. (Which hopefully your faith is personal saving faith also, and not just traditions you were passed down).

He may not have been blind the whole time. Eli in the Bible was losing his sight. A lot of clues that he is blind, but also a lot of moments that make it seem that he can see.

Lots of great actors in this movie, not just Denzel, Mila, and Gary. Jennifer Beals played Solara's mother, the late Ray Stevenson was Redridge, Malcom McDowell played the man who wrote down The Bible while Eli dictated it. And my favorite actors actors that no one ever catches are George and Martha, the old cannibal couple: Dumbledore and Madame Olympe Maxime from the Harry Potter movies.

I think this film is about the idea that we follow a path in our lives. For most of us it's not easy to KNOW the path we're on -- we could see it if we could see our lives "from above" and take the whole thing in, but....Eli was lucky in the sense that he clearly knew his path, so he could walk it with confidence and clarity, and have a sense of fulfillment at the end, if only because of his fidelity to his path.

People like what they like. I hate the notebook and lala land. And no one is ever going to change my mind about those movies. So, I get it.

I just noticed...when Eli saves Solara and she hugs him, he keeps his arms apart and doesn't touch her because he can't tell if she's naked or not. On first viewing people will probably think it's because he's very standoffish, but it's more likely that it's because he knows he's stopping a rape and she could probably be naked.

I've watched a lot of movies and I'll have to say that ELI and Shawshank Redempshin are 2 of the greatest movies of all time

He is also the villain, and receives a most delightful and satisfying comeuppance as he feverishly watches his empire crumble. Denzel's character, on the other hand, has actually read it, and when he's in the car with Solara he sums it up in one quick phrase - the golden rule, do unto others as you'd have them do unto you. "That's what I took from it, anyway." He recognizes that at the end of the day it's basically all about "don't be a dick." And his mission leads him to people whose desire for the book doesn't stem from dreams of power and control, but the desire of recapturing lost human knowledge. Not to mention that their base is in godless liberal San Francisco, of all places. So I felt like the movie was saying a few things about religion. People, leaders, like Carnegie have completely lost touch with what the bible (or any other holy text) are actually saying, and are purely after the power and control that religion can provide. But buried within the book is a simple, straightforward message that everyone, even us on this youtube can get behind - don't be a dick. And, furthermore, Malcolm McDowell and company demonstrate that the bible, along with the other holy books it's nestled between, are a part of our history and on some level are worth preserving. So yeah that's kind of a lot of words about a movie, but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. Not to mention that first fight scene with only silhouettes, that was brilliant.

The message of the movie essentially was that the book was not responsible for the end of civilization, it's those that use the book(s) and pervert it's message to gain power. Plus the idea of controlling people by denying "books" or knowledge.

The song is Al Green How can you mend a broken heart

george threw out a disguised grenade. then the enemies used an RPG then they whipped out a gnarly mounted 50 cal which TEARS through human bodies like no tomorrow check out a video that tests weapons like the .50 rifle and what it does to ballistic dummies. looks like a nasty wound on the front back in the back it looks completely blown apart / shredded its an instrument of terror and nightmares

This is definitely a very underrated movie very moving and powerful when you look at the in depth of what it’s really involved in plus Denzel‘s performance just makes the movie that much more captivating. I remember seeing us for the very first time and I had goosebumps :-) love ya kalmia!
