The Book of Eli (2010) (by Gary Whitta) is a post-apocalyptic tale, in which there are a lone man who fights his way across America in order to protect a sacred book which is a Bible. Almost every copy of The Bible is burned after war. There is some enemies on his way and he will have to compete with them so he can deliver that book to safety.
Characters:
Eli (Denzel Washington) is the main character and he is on journey to deliver that Bible to safety on a museum. On his way he finds companion who helps him complete that task.
Carnegie (Gary Oldman) is the main bad guy. He has guys looking for books, but really he wants to get his hands on Bible. Because he believes that with that he could rule the humankind.
Claudia (Jennifer Beals) is Carnegie’s blind mistress and mother of Solara.
Solara (Mila Kunis) becomes an companion for Eli and she helps completing the task. First Eli would not want Solara to come with him. He rather wants to complete his burden alone, but after when Solara gets caught by highwaybandits Eli comes to help her and they start to walk together.
Lombardi (Malcolm McDowell) is the owner of the museum and he re-writes The Bible as the Eli tells him.
Special effects:There is so much of them in fighting scenes. You can know that they are effects, but still they look so much alive. Also when the house is gunned down camera comes towards the gun you can see it shooting but you will see its just an effect.
Genre: The genre of this movie is action, adventure and also drama. Its wonderful tale about task what you can complete if you just want to succeed in it.
My own opinion about this movie is that its so good that you can watch it many times and just then you can understand all what it tells to you.
