Postapocalyptic story where knowledge equals power
Book of Eli was a post-apocalyptic tale directed by the Hughes Brothers. It featured Denzel Washington as Eli, a man on a quest to get to the west coast. He was bringing knowledge with him, which Gary Oldman as Carnegie believed could be used to seize power.<br /><br />The movie’s world is about survival and desperation after things have been destroyed by nuclear war such as when Eli hunts a cat for food. It’s about kill or be killed as he comes across a woman faking to be in distress which is actually an ambush for a gang. Eli doesn’t like this world. He’s a man apart. He doesn’t like using violence even though he often has to. He doesn’t like how callous people have become because he’s religious. At the same time he feels like he’s on a mission and has to ignore the evil around him.<br /><br />Eli comes into a town run by Gary Oldman as Carnegie simply seeking a place to temporarily stay, but gets caught up in the politics of the place. Carnegie is searching for a Bible so that he might use it to organize society once again with him at the top. When he finds out that Eli might have a copy he tries by hook and by crook to get it. That includes sending in Mila Kunis as Solara to seduce him and his henchmen led by Ray Stevenson as Redridge to kill him, but they all fail. That creates the dilemma for the movie as Eli is caught up with Carnegie and company when he just wants to go west.<br /><br />The movie has great settings portraying the destruction of the world. Denzel as usual does a fine job in the lead. I suggest people watch it two times because when they go back through it they’ll understand it better, especially the twist at the end.
