Just finished watching this one this morning. It was actually pretty rivetting.
Not quite what I expected, but it was very good nonetheless.
The actress who plays Solara, looks like an Angelina Jolie clone. If Angelina Jolie ever does a film where she has a sister, this girl needs to be cast. The resemblance is uncanny.
The Book of Eli
ps: In this movie... 333386 marries a woman named Martha, buys a little house out in the desert, and we fast forward to see their lives in about 40 years. ;D
-
Great movie!
I liked 333386 and his wife in this movie!
-
Yep. Great movie.

Ok... Dude is blind moving around by his fate. ok i have no problem with that.
But... he memorized the entire Bible every single word? c'mon.

BORING AS SHIT.

For Goodness sakes gracie, do you have to post a spoiler?! >:(
I swear, this is the reason that I never bother to click on any thread in this forum about any film I have yet to see but intend to.
Is it sooo incredibly difficult to insert a spolier alert and allow people the opportunity to avoid it?
Failure to do so should be grounds for banning from this board!!!

Stephen Wiltshire, MBE, a prodigious savant. He is capable of drawing the entire skyline of a city after a helicopter ride.
Kim Peek, prodigious savant and inspiration for the character Raymond Babbit, played by Dustin Hoffman, in the film Rain Man. He read a book in about an hour, and remembered almost everything he had read, memorizing vast amounts of information in subjects ranging from history and literature, geography, and numbers to sports, music, and dates. In listening to recordings he could distinguish which instruments play which part and was adept at guessing the composers of new music by comparing the music to the many thousands of music samples in his memory.

Read a book everyday for 38 years or w/e it was in the movie and chances are you'll memorize most of it. Dipshit.
You're uneducated garbage so it's not surprising that the concept of memorization is tough for you.

Have you done that experiment of reading the same book for 38 years? do you know anybody that did that?
Do that and let me know how was it since you are so smart.
And no know memorization its not that difficult. but again the whole Bible? wtf?
Stop being a douche dude.
Spending 38 years of your life reading the same book = a real smart move.
Keep going,good luck...chief. ::)

That's your response? Jesus, you're fucking retarded. You can't even type coherently.
Protip: A lot of things in that movie were far-fetched. Shocking concept that a fictional movie has events that are far-fetched. ::)

Oh, sweet irony.
You're a loser who is obsessed with the Playstation 3, which is nothing short of pathetic. But hey, you're most likely retarded (or autistic, one or the other) so it's to be expected.
Did the PS3 and it's AWESOME(!!!!!) functionality change your life? ::)

The title says "the Book of Eli" are you stupid? guess yes.

See i was right.. the movie really changed your life. became way more stupid.

You shouldn't be insulting intelligence when you're incapable of typing coherent posts. You got owned because you're a retard and then tried to claim that I'm defending this movie because "it changed my life". I then called you out on the fact that you're a middle-aged man whose obsession with a videogame system borders on pathetic and then asked whether that changed your life. You seem to be under the impression that my defense of this movie is because it changed my life. Now I'll ask you the same idiotic question you're asking me. Is your obsession and defense of the PS3 due to it changing your life or are you just a sad nerd who plays too many videogames?
-
Why not? its is a sh*t movie. I'm saving them money.
I will never spoiled a good movie.
To each his own. For some people 'the Book of Eli' was a good movie. Both loco & Beach liked it.
If you think it was a crappy film and a waste of money, feel free to say so, but posting a spoiler is out of line.
...besides, it was never established that what you claim is actually the case.
-

Why is that ridiculous? Ignorant illiterate peasant farmers in Afghanistan routinely memorize the entire Quran.
-
I thought it was a pretty good movie.
Spoiler alert.....
When Denzel was in the bar kicking ass(killing 16 men) he did that scene in 1 take! Pretty good scene and amazing if you realize the talent that Denzel is!

Asking if the movie changed your life, I was being ironic. who's the retarded now? retarded.
I didn't ask you about PS3... therefore its not the same question. retarded.
Did the ps3 changed your life?
Did the movie changed your life?
Are these questions the same? retarded.
Again stay on the subject.

Your obsession with me is just downright creepy now. There has to be a better way for you to log your 14 hours a day on here than licking my balls.
So desperate for attention and validation on an internet forum.
A 3+ week meltdown because I called you out on a Fox News poll. How utterly pathetic. :-\

Spoilers are not cool dude. I hardly ever agree with Jag on anything, but she's right. If you're going to give spoilers you should at least post a disclaimer.
The fact you think it's a bad movie isn't much an excuse IMO. It's really about being courteous to people who haven't seen it and want to make up their own minds.
-
movie was ok. no way in hell he could shoot that well and fight that well especially from distances and in unknown environments being blind. that being said, he should have boned the girl when she offered. Even those of faith need some tang everyonce in a while. It's good for the soul. (had to keep this somewhat getbigish) ;D

I agree, I practically begged Ron to let Jag mod this board, as she could keep an eye out for these things as well. But he ignored me. Sorry I missed this, I will keep a better eye out in the future. Please no spoilers guys :)

Pretty good scene and amazing if you realize the talent that Denzel is!
Believe me I know what an amazing talent Denzel is.
I've had the pleasure of working with him on a few projects. He is amazing and very intense!

He wasn't blind. If anything, one could make a case he was schizophrenic, ...but certainly not blind.There's no way he could have recognized the road crew leader in the bar had he been. Consider the distance from which the road crew was first observed. No way he could have smelled them or even recognized voices. He had to have seen them.

Yeah, not possible, but you guys have to keep in mind that he was being led by divine intervention. He made this statement throughout the movie. A lot of people didn't like the movie because of the religous undertones.
Jag, that's awesome to hear that you have had the opportunity to work with him. When I found out about that scene I was truly amazed...that was some smooth work to be done in one scene. He really is one of the best if not the best actors of our generation. He is one of those actors where I will see his movies just because he is in it.
-

He was very cool with me...well i played football at Morehouse with JD (his son)...the coolest guy ever...
Samuel L....not so much :'(

He definitely smelled the road crew, and given that they came out of hiding and from behind him, I don't see how he would have seen them. He knew they were there as soon as he put the water bottle down.
I believe the second-in-command guy knew he was blind as well as Denzel didn't know he was standing in the middle of the road after the first firefight because he hadn't moved or made any noise. There were other subtle signs throughout pointing to his blindness.
The movie was far-fetched, from God guiding him to find the Bible buried under a pile of trash to his super-human fighting ability.

The wasn't a road crew he smelled. I'm not talking about the ones who tried to ambush him, ...I'm refering to the ones who brought back the shampoo, the Oprah magazine and the DaVinci code. When he first encountered them, they were too far away to smell. He had to see them in order to recognize them again in the bar.

There were no signs, and the 2nd in command didn't suspect he was blind cause he wasn't.
He suspected there was something very unusal, other worldly, and special about him.
I think he sensed a profound spark of goodness in him that he did not really want to extinguish.

Yep, but then again, there were alot of people who like the movie simply because of the religious undertones, ...despite Gary Oldham stating that "with this book, he'd have the power to gather the weak minded & the desperate". lol. I guess that little line of dialogue flew right under their radars.

He really gives it his all. He gets into character at the start of the day,
...and doesn't come out of character til the director calls wrap.

You really do go above and beyond in proving that you're one of the dumbest people posting on this forum. If you couldn't pick up on all the little hints pointing to him being blind, then you're clueless.

Then I must be clueless.
So... since they were so very obvious to you, why don't you share your keen powers of observation with us more clueless types. What were all these little hints?

Let's see. Movie with biblical undertones. Blind person in the bible named Eli. ::)
Other senses heightened to near super-human levels to go along with the other exaggerations in the movie.
He didn't know the road crew was there until he had smelled them hiding and could hear their weapons clanking due to Kuru disease. Knew the bar fight guys from their voices when they attacked the couple of the road. Didn't shoot the snipers in the street until they had shot at him. Also explains why he didn't know the Carnegie's right hand was standing right in front of him in the middle of the road. Heard the trucks coming down the road from the vibrations in the street. After he ended up outside the old couple's house, he couldn't hit any of them as they weren't moving nor making noise as he flailed about. There are many more hints than that but I think that's enough effort, ya dumb bitch.
How's that 170 IQ treating you? You claim to be so smart yet you're too stupid to know that argon is an element or even pick up on subtle hint like that in a movie.

Once again, that wasn't the road crew, they were simply ambushers. The fact that he could hear them doesn't mean he's blind.
Knew the bar fight guys from their voices when they attacked the couple of the road.
He couldn't possibly have recognized them by their voices. they were too far off, and the voices were not that distinct from that distance. He did however see them... that was how he recognized them.
Didn't shoot the snipers in the street until they had shot at him. Also explains why he didn't know the Carnegie's right hand was standing right in front of him in the middle of the road.
So because he didn't strike first that means he's blind? That's ridiculous. his character was a man of peace who kicked ass only when he had to.
Heard the trucks coming down the road from the vibrations in the street.
He didn't hear the trucks coming from a vibration in the street, he heard an eagle or whatever bird it was flying overhead.[/quote]
After he ended up outside the old couple's house, he couldn't hit any of them as they weren't moving nor making noise as he flailed about. There are many more hints than that but I think that's enough effort, ya dumb bitch.
I think you're reading what you want into it. I think you are grasping at straws to support your theory.

Actually it's 160... but thanks for playing. :)
-
I'm grasping at straws? The fact that there's a blind man in the bible named Eli and the entire movie revolves around a man named Eli carrying and who is infused with God's power should be enough to know he's most likely blind. The dozens of other signs pointing to it are just the icing on the cake. I'm sorry that you're a lazy-eyed retard who is so deluded that you think you're actually intelligent and observant but you really don't know shit.
When someone loses one of their senses, the others are generally heightened in return. Hence his increased senses of smell and hearing. Remember when they were walking on the road and he could hear them coming while Mila Kunis couldn't? And yes, he did hear them and confirmed it by putting his ear to the road. ::)
Explain why he didn't know Carnegie's right hand man was standing in the middle of the road about 10 feet from him after the gunfight outside the hotel. Enlighten me. Surely someone who could see would not have stood up and exposed themselves to a man aiming to kill him. Why didn't he know where any of them were after he came out of the old couple's house? They were standing still and not making noise in broad daylight. Why wasn't he able to see them? They were literally within 4-5 feet of him, in broad daylight, and he couldn't see them or tell where they were. "I think you're reading what you want into it". Good rebuttal. ::)
You think he wasn't blind yet you haven't been able to substantiate your claim beyond "Well, just because he shot afterwards doesn't mean he's blind."
Either way, I'm done arguing with an uninformed retard.
Oh, and you claimed 170. It was only after someone mentioned that Einstein's was estimated at 165 that you changed it out of embarrassment. If I had to generously guess, I'd say you're hovering in the 90s. Hell, you're such uneducated trash that you didn't even know argon was an element. 160 IQ indeed. Stick to your Samson123 gimmick. :-X

The quality of your interaction with people betrays what an absolute miserable existence your life is.
I sincerely hope you get over what is obviously ailing you. it must absolutely suck to walk around in your state of being everyday.

My life is fine. You really shouldn't be talking about other's lives on here given that you spend every waking moment of their day obsessing over America on both your Jaguar and Samson123 accounts. A shill con artist whose life revolves around a country that she doesn't even live in.
You deserve every ounce of ridicule and harassment that you get on here. You made yourself into one of the biggest jokes on Getdumb.
Good rebuttal of the points I made about the movie, though. I'll take that as you admitting you're wrong. ::)

It may have, but one line from the bad guy doesn't negate the whole movie either.
-
I didn't know he was blind. Neither did Ebert. I read his review before watching the movie and he said there is a "WTF" ending. Even though I was looking for a surprise the entire movie because of Ebert's review, I still didn't see that one coming. It was a good twist.

That is correct. To add to this:
[ SPOILER ALERT ]
This is a post nuclear holocaust world, and many people have been blinded by nuclear bomb flashes. Eli may be one of them.
He reads Braille.
Eli tells Solara "I walk by faith, not by sight." This expression is cliche in Christian circles, but it becomes very significant and even funny once it is revealed that Eli is indeed blind. To Eli this expression is literal.
At the end they show a close up of his eyes and they look really messed up. They follow that by revealing that the book he had is in Braille.
[ END SPOILER ALERT ]
I don't think all the spoilers on this thread are cool, but at this point the damage is already done.

What makes you think Gary Oldham's line flew right under our radar? Atheists have always said that about the Bible and atheists will always say that. We know that and we don't care.
Apparently, a good number of references to the Bible and to Christianity in the movie flew right under your radar. It's a wonder you enjoyed the movie as much as you did.

Am I to take it then that the only reason you enjoyed this movie was because of the religious undertones?

For me, the Christian undertones were a very nice surprise and made it much more than just a decent action film with cool fight scenes.
No wonder, ...that was probably why. :D
::)
You do know Denzel Washington is an evangelical and the son of an evangelical preacher, don't you?
I FVCKING HATE DELUSIONAL EVANGELICALS >:(
You are fvcking certifiable in your delusion & denial.
It's the goddamn evangelicals who make it a political issue. Get real!!!
I will welcome the day that religion is forced underground!
Any evangelical I off, is gonna be one who trys imposing themself on me. There's a big difference.
It's like someone on here once said "I'll shoot the fvckers if I have to."
-

I kind of felt the same way... like there was some depth & brains behind it rather than all brawn.

No I didn't know that, ...what a pleasant surprise to discover.
Loco, I think there is some misunderstanding here on your part.
The animosity I feel is not towards those who classify themselves as evangelical in demonination.
My animosity is towards those who I classify as evangelical based upon their actions... whether they be Christians, Jews, Muslims, Mormons, Jehovahs Witnesses, Atheists... or followers of the Flying Spaghetti monster. If they cannot leave well enough alone when told to back off... we will most definately have a conflict... one in which I will not hesitate to cause them to back up.

A "pleasant" surprise? Really? After all you said about evangelicals before?

No, there is no misunderstanding on my part. Your hate toward evangelicals is very clear in your posts. You said that you welcome the day when religion will be forced underground. So you want to take our freedom. You said that you hate evangelicals and that you will murder them if they knock on your door to share The Good News about Jesus Christ to you. So you want to take our life too.
On His last days on earth, Jesus commanded us as follows:
Matthew 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.

Evangelical comes from the word Evangelio, which means Gospel or The Good News. An Evangelical is a bringer of The Good News about Jesus Christ. That is what we are, and that is what we do. That is what Denzel Washington and his father are, and that is what they do.
Maybe you like Denzel Washington a lot, and maybe you have a lot of respect for him. Maybe now that you know that he is an evangelical, your opinion of evangelicals is beginning to change. Nothing wrong with that! But don't come here now and tell me that there is a misunderstanding on my part concerning your previews posts about evangelicals.

Damn, the lazy-eyed retard getting smacked all over this thread. What a brutally pathetic self-owning with Denzel turning out to be from the group of people she wants to kill.

Berzerk is 100% right on, it's clearly obvious Eli is blind if you watch the movie, he memorizes a BRAILLE bible for fuck's sake...and is wearing glasses designed for the blind throughout the whole movie, what movie were you people watching ?!?!

You had just previously admitted that you missed the Christian undertones and that is why you enjoyed the film.
I was being sarcastic and facetious.
A "pleasant" surprise? Really? After all you said about evangelicals before?
Yes, it is a pleasant surprise. It is pleasing to me to meet a man of faith who does not push his faith on others, or ram it down the throats of others. That pleases me.
No, there is no misunderstanding on my part. Your hate toward evangelicals is very clear in your posts. You said that you welcome the day when religion will be forced underground. So you want to take our freedom. You said that you hate evangelicals and that you will murder them if they knock on your door to share The Good News about Jesus Christ to you. So you want to take our life too.
You are choosing to believe what you want to believe, and I'm done clarifying myself.
If you do not understand, it is because you choose not to.
On His last days on earth, Jesus commanded us as follows:
Matthew 28:19
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
Mark 16:15
He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation
Where did he command that people make absolute pests of themselves in the process?
Jesus taught his disciples to be "fishers of men"... to lure men, not repell the fvck out of them.
If one were following Jesus' commandment, they would lure me... make me want to know more about what they have to say, ...not repell me, stalk me, harass me walking down the street, and make me want to rip their tongues out of their mouths.

I gave you my definition of evangelicals, and why I can't stand them. My disdain is for them, not religion, but rather the way they choose to force their religion on others whatever religion they follow. They are the ones I can't stand. My opinion of those who force their brand of religion down the throats of others has NOT changed and will not change regardless of who is reported to be of whatever religion.

You are the one who made the blanket statement that evangelicals in general "force" the Gospel on other people. Obviously, few evangelicals do that relative to the number of evangelicals around the world. But ALL evangelicals, including Denzel Washington, spread the Gospel as commanded by Jesus Christ.
You are the one who said that you want religion forced underground. You are the one who said you hate evangelicals and that you want to kill them. You have gone on record saying these things.

Yes. I said evangelicals force their beliefs on others, whether that belief be in the gospel of Jesus Christ, islam, judaism, atheism or their belief in the flying spagheti monster. then there are the vegetarian evangelicals, the vegans, the mlm'ers etc. they span the gamut. I've already made it abundantly clear to you I'm refering those I classify as evangelical based on their actions, rather than those who classify themselves as evangelical based on their religious denomination. Why you insist on blurring that division to create confusion is a motive only you can answer.
You are the one who said that you want religion forced underground. You are the one who said you hate evangelicals and that you want to kill them. You have gone on record saying these things.
I wouldn't mind religion to go underground, and to become something done in private rather than forced upon others in their daily lives. I thik it would do away with alot of the conflict we find in society.
And yes I hate evangelicals, ...and my statement was that I would kill one if I had to.
Don't try to portray me as someone who seeks out and targets evangelicals for extermination as sport.
What the heck does all of this have to do with the movie? Why don't you try staying on topic? The subject was the movie "The Book of Eli", ...not whether one likes or dislikes a religious denomination. If you want to argue religion... take it to the religion board.

Saw this flick today and thought it was pretty good. Much better than The road, which was a bit lame.
Then I must be clueless.
So... since they were so very obvious to you, why don't you share your keen powers of observation with us more clueless types. What were all these little hints?

He was blind 100% all the way. He didn't know where the boots where, he had to feel around for them. He also couldn't SEE whether or not the corpse in the car has boots on, he had to feel around the feet.
He couldn't SEE things on shelves, had to run his hand across them, couldn't SEE the color of the brown water to know not to drink it, had to smell it.
couldn't see the IPOD low battery, had to keep clicking the buttons to confirm the battery was dead (no click sound)
couldn't see the no trespassing sign.
heard the cat that he shot with the bow and arrow, those masks don't cover the ears, he found the corpse, paced off a certain number of steps away from it...sat down and waiting for something to approach it.
Both cats made plenty of noise
clicking his tongue to echo locate
shooting at people only when they shot first so he could follow the sound, waiting for people to talk or make noise before reacting to them
smelling the other raiders at the ambush point.

He wasn't blind. If anything, one could make a case he was schizophrenic, ...but certainly not blind.There's no way he could have recognized the road crew leader in the bar had he been. Consider the distance from which the road crew was first observed. No way he could have smelled them or even recognized voices. He had to have seen them.
When he's in the shop asking the guy to charge the battery up, he hears the gang drive back to the bar across the street and recognizes them from the sound of their bikes. Later when he's in the bar, the guy walks up to him and starts talking about his cat, from which he recognizes him (by his voice). They weren't that far off when they attack the travelers before - he was just hiding from them in an elevation (bridge) across the road.
And if you remember, when he encounters the first gang, he leads them back into the dark tunnel to fight them, where they'd be disadvantaged.
Obviously, no blind person is that keenly sharp with their sense of hearing and smell to be able to walk and act like that (they made him out to be like Daredevil ;D), but it's a movie and you just have to suspend disbelief a little. My guess is, he was blind before the apocalypse, which is how he was able to read the braille, cause who was going to take the time to teach him to read it after "the flash"? Plus, he had God on his side, which can't be discounted, lol.

The movie version of The Road did no justice to the book, which was incredible.

I heard about the book, but didn't know it was good. Will check it out.

If you like how Cormac McCarthy writes, then you'll like it.

Just finished watching this one this morning. It was actually pretty rivetting.
Not quite what I expected, but it was very good nonetheless.
The actress who plays Solara, looks like an Angelina Jolie clone. If Angelina Jolie ever does a film where she has a sister, this girl needs to be cast. The resemblance is uncanny.
The Book of Eli
ps: In this movie... 333386 marries a woman named Martha, buys a little house out in the desert, and we fast forward to see their lives in about 40 years. ;D
Saw it months ago at the movies. Great movie.
