The Book of Eli-Non Spolier Blog

This blog is going to be a movie review for the movie Book of Eli, rest assured, there will be no spoilers in this blog, however I will write a separate blog that will include the spoilers for people who have seen the movie. The move takes place 30 years after the apocalypse. The main character stars Denzel Washington and his mission it to head west with a book.

I liked the movie, and the twist at the end made is that much more bind blowing. For me, it’s not so much the plot of the movie that I have been thinking about, but more about the people starring in, and the ones who made the movie. This is not meant to be a “Christian Movie,” although it has a religiously biblical plot. What do I mean? The writers in this movie and characters in the movie are most likely not Christians. I could be wrong, and I am not judging, but based on what the bible says about being a Christian, it is a fair statement.

I am going to sidetrack for a moment. The bible has been the number one best selling book in all history with about 100 million copies being sold each year, with an estimated 3-5 billion printed since it’s beginning. Some people believe in the bible and live there life by it, and others like to take the information and sell it to make money. Believe it of not, Christianity is a multi billion-dollar industry, and there are a lot of people who are in it for the money.

The book of Eli was a great movie as far as the plot is concerned, but like I said, it is not a Christian movie. There is a lot of violence, and a fair amount of profanity, but no blood so someone like my mom could watch it and not have to worry about any blood and gore. I think that Hollywood wanted to use a biblical topic to make a great movie and a lot of money, but to get people to see it, there would have to be a lot of violence and profanity to get people to watch it, which is not a Christian thing to do, not that I am holding that against them. Unfortunately, is it weren’t for that exact reason; people would most likely not have went to see this movie because that’s what people want to see these days.

There is not much more that I can say without giving away the movie, like I said I will write another blog with the movie spoiler for you to read after you see the movie. But when push comes to shove, I would definitely recommend this movie as a must see as long as you are not offended by violence and language, and false biblical teachings. Hollywood did a great job making a movie that could cater to the interests of both Christians and no believers alike.
