I just saw this film. If having a religion was so important to the guy running the town (I forgot his name) then he should have just made up his own religion off the top of his head and written it down in a fancy book instead of wasting his time looking for a bibel and then wasting his men and ammo going after Denziel Washington. That's what all the other people who started religions did throughout history. Just light up a joint and let the creativeness flow man

BTW Did anyone else think that lady with the overturned shopping trolley shouting 'help help!' acting as bait was hilarious? Eli wipes out her whole team of thugs and then just a short time later there she is again with another group of men playing the same role. Does she walk around with a sign saying experienced decoy for hire or something? That was funny.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'N')arz, I think a point of the movie is that Eli and his bible-reading nonsense are better, not perfect, than the mayhem and cruelty that reigned.

Heh heh, the intelligence being used in this thread to analyze 'The Book of Eli' is definitely far more than went into the writing of the actual script itself It's a no-brain style-over-substance actioner which I actually kind of enjoyed. Switching off of all critical faculties is a must for maximum enjoyment, as with any dumb hollywood film. Not a criticism at all, just an observation from someone who has appreciated a good few such movies in his time

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Tanada', 'I') think it will break down pretty simply, those who believe in the God of the Bible will love it, or at least find it entertaining, those who have a problem with faith and its effects will hate it.
