Among the top ten movies I've seen over the last thirty years. One of those movies, like The Shawshank Redemption, A History of Violence, Mad Max: Fury Road and a precious few others, where its reputation will continue to gradually build as more people come to know it and appreciate its virtues...Very simple, direct, effective, and moving. Dynamite performances from the entire cast...even in brief roles, like Tom Waits' pawn dealer, or Evan Jones as the bike gang leader and Chris Browning's hijacker. A stark, unique, poignant, beautiful fable.

[@jameswhite1320]

The original Mad Max called for 2021, or there abouts. I'm worse than Max. He went there due to His Wife n Child being massacred. I did more back in the late '80's and early '90's. 39 Confirmed Kills, 75- 100 Probable. I sleep like a Baby.

[@beentheredonethat5908]

This movie was straight fire! It is a masterpiece of acting, directing, and film. I am not a fan of cgi normally, but they used just the right amount of film tricks, and small touches of cgi to make the sky look polluted and washed out. As for Denzel, this film must be his tip acting since Glory. I still think Glory was his best acting, but this is a close second. He brings an emotional aspect to this film of a mixture of hope and distaste for the current state of humanity. This movie was thought provoking and entertaining at the same time. I'm not sure to many actors could have pulled this one off, especially with the entirely burned out whole end of the world scenario, its just been beat into the ground in the last twenty years, but this one had such a great storyline , to think it was all over a Bible, one man guarded by angels seeking to restore faith, the other seeking to use it to control people, and everyone knowing it caused the great war that destroyed everything, I mean who could think this story up and make it work like this, pure poetry.

Love the fact, that he have to use a handcart or a wheelbarrow to transport this Bible (or a really big backpack and some really bad back pain). A real King James Braille Bible is up to 20 separated books with an total mass of 40 Kilogramm / 90 Pounds. Also nothing in the entire movie show us, that he is blind. He shoot a cat, that haven't done a sound at this time. He was shooked after finding the hanging man in the obended house. He see the battery of his iPod is low. He didn't search for the doorknob, he instantly find it. He looks clearly to the person he spoke to and so on. The "he's-blind"-twist came out of nothing. A blind person will focus his ears to a nearby action, not his eyes (as we see in the scene where the elder couple that was killed by the gang for there books). But aside that, and aside the theological agenda (contradicts by the brutality of the main character), it was a solid, not good movie.

[@marklipson]

Eli was almost certainly blinded by the flash of a nuclear blast. He asks Solara's mom, Claudia, if she has been blind her whole life or since The Flash (apparently, a large-scale nuclear attack). If you feel like filling in Eli's backstory using your imagination, he was likely some special forces soldier who became expert with various fighting weapons and techniques during his military training BEFORE he was blinded in the Great War. He then perfected his sightless fighting skills while surviving his long perilous journey through the hijacker-filled wastelands. As for divine intervention, I would think that any person who committed the entire King James Bible to memory during a decades-long pilgrimage through some of the most hostile territory while battling the constant scourges of hunger, thirst, fatigue, disease, loneliness and vicious hijackers is likely someone who is drawing inspiration from a so-called "higher power"...I try not to confuse myself with complex things I cannot know with certainty, so I tend to keep things simple: I dunno about "divine intervention" but dude sure looks like someone on a mission from god.

[@johnnyskied]

@@marklipson there's an interesting quote from Einstein about nuclear war. Not verbatim but basically....I don't know exactly which weapons will be used in WW3 but I can tell you what will be used in WW4; Sticks and stones. Modern humans are over 150,000 years old. How many times have we gained and lost knowledge over that time? During the ice age the water levels were hundreds of feet lower. Civilizations always build by water.

Now I see why at least one of the fight scenes appears to to a homage to the original 1960s Japanese series "Zatochi: The Blind Swordsman." Zatoichi was more enjoyable because it didn't have the religious underpinnings of this film. When one considers the real role of religion in fomenting conflict and bloodshed and in justifying all kinds of oppression on the grand scale, I see the end result of this quest is as just resetting to start the same vicious cycle all over again.

As an atheist myself , i don't need some scripture to teach me what is essentially good or bad. There may be certain circumstances where morality can be dubious , but on the whole , if you need some book to tell you how to be a decent person , as is depicted in this movie , you are saying that the majority of humanity is already lost. Hardly accurate or believable.

[@dpeasehead]

@@johnmcnatty1710 I don't blame religious texts for causing horrific behaviors that far too many human beings have engaged in since we came to be. That's too easy. Religion is just another idea/tool which is easily and readily misused by all kinds of people in all kinds of social groupings. Like government, it is also uniquely powerful and therefore, potentially more dangerous than many other ways of being and of doing things. The fact so much of religion is tied to unquestioning faith also makes it potentially dangerous to both believers and non-believers alike when religion is uniquely elevated above other institutions and practices as it is in many places around the world. Cultures of unaccountability are bad news no matter what their origins may be...I think that religion of all kinds has had plenty of time to "prove" that it is better at curbing the worse impulses of humanity than other human derived systems of belief and governance it comes to morality, impulse control, justice, etc. and that religion has been found wanting to say the least..
