The Book of Eli: a story of the Less Traveled Road



Like many, I've been intrigued by the previews of "The Book of Eli". It had glimpses of "Max Max". It showed scenes that reminded me of old Clint Eastwood movies like "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly". But the previews also gave a nod to the Book that Eli (Denzel Washington) carried that every one wanted. Was that the Bible? Was that Psalms 23 that he was quoting? Somehow this did not feel like the rest of the end of the world stories. So we went.

The answer is Yes, it IS about all of the above! It is a movie that will give church going people a start because it IS rated "R". It has the "F" word used through out by the kind of people that talk that way. The story is so good that many that should see it won't because of language and violence. The better news is the people that really need it WILL see it and get more than they expected. All that I will say is that it is story of Faith. It speaks to our throw-away society and it shows the stark difference of light and darkness.

I would easily recommend this movie. It is rated "R" but so is much of the Old Testament.

The photo of Alcatraz makes sense when you see the story.

It shows a unique version of the Less Traveled Road.

I give it ***1/2 stars.

2010 Movie #4
