“How did you do that” I honest took a while to realise eli was blind which impressed me even more

The day I watched this was actually hours after I felt God in my life for the first time, I had been going through a bad depression for months I had been seeking help medically but it wasn't helping. I started reading the Bible and seeking help from God I realized I couldn't do it. I had always thought Walk by faith not by sight was a very important part of my life I had struggled a lot in my life and I always kept going in my faith in something rather than what I could see. I went to bed one night and when I woke up it was like a fire I had never felt was burning in me. I love I can not describe, it was so powerful I cried. I realized God answered my prayers. Later that day I was on Netflix scrolling through and I went over this movie two or three times, I don't normally watch Netflix so it has to be interesting.. Ended up saying "let me watch this". I remember hearing that line of scripture and realized God was speaking to me in the Holy Spirit. I skipped over that movie multiple times and felt the need to watch it. I immediately declared Jesus Christ as my lord and savior. Now three years later I work in ministry and have completely changed my life. Best movie I've ever watched ;)

Fahrenheit 451, probably one of the only times I’ve loved a book to read and take notes on in school.

I sort of feel real silly, I watched this movie along time ago and loved it. I never realized Eli was blind UNTIL NOW!?! I just thought he knew how to read braille, Even had an argument with a friend once who told me he was blind and I didn't believe him! Gives a new meaning for me to this: John 9:25 Whether he is a sinner Or not I do not know. I once was blind but now I see.

Absolutely loved this movie. I watch it a couple of times a year. One thing I did notice. As the movie progresses, it gets less bleak and becomes more colorful. A star-studded cast including 3 from Harry Potter!

This movie is so dope. It also features some amazing camera work.

"The Book of Eli" has been one of my favorites since I was younger, and you did an excellent job describing the deeper meaning of the film, as always. Keep up the great work brother, you always have me hooked.

4:30 Carnegie is comparable to a slave master. Control the text, control the mind. It provides fear of retaliation from a supreme being and convinces them they are inferior. That’s why a slave that was able to read was a dangerous person. Dave Chapelle even had that joke about a Black slave debating whether to stop at a stop sign, while a white cop is looking at him. Does bypass the sign and commit a traffic infraction, or, does he stop and show that he can read the sign? Great video 🤙🏽 I ended up subbing

I had totally missed that the book was placed in between the religious texts! I love how, as you said, the movie exposes the virtues and flaws Christianity and if I dare, faith in general, in hopes to give a balanced assestment. Specially for people in the most in the post-apocalypse one could argue that the world was either in the most dire need of a message of salvation and the idea of a better tomorrow through faith; or at their most vulnerable to be manipulated through the text by corrupt, power hungry and brain washing tyrants trying to capitalize in the people's desperation. I for one found myself asking myself what would be the effects of any widespread religion in that world, undependently of the intentions of the person carrying the main message may be benevolent, for a world in such a desperate need of hope. Amazing movie and thanks for the review!

Thanks for breaking this one down. One of my favorites that many have missed out on. I liked the tension and the feel-good ending.

I love the idea that he was blind because it makes him more badass. That being said I have a few questions, how was he able to shoot the cat, and the bird out of the sky? Also how was he able to shoot all the bad guys and fight them. Example of this would be when he uses the Barretta to shoot like 3 dudes off the roof.

@snipsey2

Жыл бұрын

I know I’m only like a year late but figured I’d chime in. He’s able to use echolocation to “see” where things are. He doesn’t shoot the cat until it meows first. He doesn’t shoot the snipers off the roof until they shoot first (their gunshots echo off the buildings and he’s able to tell where they are that way). This is also why he randomly clicks throughout the movie, jingles his necklace when Solara’s mom asks where he’s at, etc. In the fight scene towards the beginning, he backs up underneath the bridge so he can use echolocation to “see” where the bad guys are. The echo of the chainsaw bounces off the walls, revealing where they are to him. This is why he saves the chainsaw guy for last. Also the reason why his machete has holes in it is so it can whistle through the air, thus causing noise and helping him “see” where his attackers are.

@My10thAccount

6 ай бұрын

The answer is simple and it’s said plainly in the movie. He walks by faith, not sight. As in he’s not the doing the things he’s doing on his own, he’s merely surrendering himself and allowing his body to act as a conduit for the will of god. You could say that for all intents and purposes it’s god or one of his angels pulling the trigger and swinging the blade. What’s happening in the movie is a very literal interpretation of a core Christian principle (I.E. surrendering of the self for the greater glory of god) and it leads to some exceptional scenes in the film.

Your videos are always succinct and a wonderful starting point for anyone wishing to look into these various works

the sad part about this, is in our current world today so many people willfully ignore the past and every bit of history from books to photos to film and documentaries and even living testaments from older folks who lived through events and go on a repeat the same mistakes again

This is one of my favorite movies of all time, and I think it's very underrated. I'm not a religious man by any stretch of the imagination, but Book of Eli hits the nail on the head when it comes to theocratic conflict. Both Eli and Carnegie are right in their outlook of The Bible, but ultimately the Curator is the one who has it. The Bible is a tool, and how it's used depends on the person weilding it. It can be a beacon of hope and guide to moralistic good, or it can be a weapon, used to cut down anyone who dissents and strays out of line. But ultimately it's information that shouldn't be neglected or lost.

The Islamic wars into Europe predate the crusades and are rather forgotten as they aren't being taught or really even talked about. They occurred over a much longer period of time, in much more countries, with much more battles and slaves taken. I think Spain alone had over 200 battles occur within its borders. It's something that should be mentioned when people talk about great religious wars of the past.

It's quite funny that the crusades are first to be mentioned in a discussion about religious wars, yet the Islamic wars, which preceded the crusades and are still carried out to this day, aren't mentioned at all. I suspect some bias is at play.

Great job! Describing this movie . Right on point.

The only gripe I have with this movie is that Eli is supposed to be carrying a whole braille Bible. Braille bibles are comprised of numerous large volumes.

Truly a great movie and casts too. Thank you for sharing with us amazing 👍👍👍👍

I'm so excited for Equilibrium! I remember watching that movie when I was really young and it left an imprint on me, made me seek out books like 1984 and Fahrenheit 451.

I love how you exclusively talk about Christianity and war. Let's talk about Mohammed

There's definitely a lot to unpack there, but not really relevant for this movie.

I do remember seein' this in the cinema and lovin' it... but i never saw it again... Maybe I'll rewatch it!

Just watched the film, and God why isn't this film already legendary at this point? It's thought provoking, action scenes were well-choreographed, cast is great, and plot twists are amazing. Definitely one of those movies that you have to watch atleast two times to catch all the tiny, hidden details and whatnot. Also, thanks for this analysis. You made me praise this movie even more by explaining some of the ideas I've missed.

A highly underrated and fantastic film. A must watch. Glad to see this critique on it.

This might seem random. But I love your profile picture.

As if Denzel Washington wasn't badass enough, he professionally trained for the fight scenes. Top notch choreography.

I love the music you picked for this video. The only source of knowledge is experience. Your own experience or the experience of others. I was one of those kids who had to touch fire to see if if was hot I learned from my mistakes.

Thank you very much!❤️🙏

Amazing movie with so much symbolism and meaning.

Excellent video.

Outstanding synopsis. Thank you.
