The Book of Eli (2010) First Time Watching! | MOVIE REACTION

[@jimhsfbay]

My interpretation is that Eli was a Prophet of the Lord and God gave him the sight he needed to perform this sacred task and then allowed Eli to rest in the peace he deserved.

[@michaelriddick7116]

💯💯

[@BlackDeathThrash]

so sad. god/religion are cancers on humanity.

[@elegziabherbinjoann643]

Eli walked for 30 years, he walked by faith not by sight. It would have been quicker if he could see.

[@richierich831]

Man on fire, Flight, Fallen, and Inside man are some hidden gems for Denzel. Not as popular as his big stuff but are underrated in my opinion and are a must watch!

[@timmago4307]

Fallen is excellent

[@jatilq]

Cry Freedom

[@commsense1979]

You two are excellent reactors. I really appreciate your post movie conversations. The "shakes" you are referring to that the cannibals experience is indeed a real phenomenon caused by prions. Freaky stuff.

[@michaelriddick7116]

Basically mad cow disease ... but in people 🤢😱🤢😱

[@mattn1093]

There are quite a few hints that he is blind. At the old folks home, he says he didn't see the No Trespass sign even though he walked right past it. When he encountered the highjackers, he said you don't need sight when you can smell people. When he is reading the Bible, he is not looking at it but they don't show his hands on the book.

[@jefferyshute6641]

When you think about it, even the opening scene gives a clue that he's blind. He didn't shoot his arrow at the cat until the cat made a little noise. And, when they had the shootout in the street, he shoots where he hears the shots coming from.

[@isaiahtowers1865]

You can also hear him clicking his tongue a few times in the direction of people, realllyyyy interesting detail

[@brentparagas4549]

Was it echolocation that he use when blind people use echolocation 😅

[@BM-hb2mr]

He wasnt blind

[@chopps75]

​@BM-hb2mr yes, Eli is blind.

[@Neilxtc]

We do not walk by sight. We walk by faith.

[@oDv22]

I personally loved that last line: Ty for finally allowing me to rest.

[@gregorygant4242]

That end scene when he's dressed as a man of God and that music gets me every time . Great performance by Denzel Washington.

[@TheMtVernonKid]

The best thing about this movie is if you really pay attention throughout the film, you can really discover that denzo's character is blind even without discovering the twist at the end. For example, the scene where he shoots the bird. He was listening for it, similar to how someone who was sightless would listen for things. And even when he shot it, it was more like he didn't aim he just shot where he last heard the flapping of the bird.There are certain things you you have to pay, close attention to, and you figure it out

[@juneskywalker5847]

He wasn't blind 😂

[@BM-hb2mr]

He wasn't blind.

[@chopps75]

​@juneskywalker5847 yes, he was. Go read the synopsis of the movie, ffs.

[@chopps75]

​@BM-hb2mr yes, he was blind, that's the entire point of the movie, ffs.

[@BM-hb2mr]

@chopps75 no he wasn't. Look it up. The actor even said he wasn't. Don't argue just do your research for pete sake

[@maggedo-x1s]

This has one of iconic Gary Oldman's most under- rated characters, just like his role as "sniper" Lee Harvey Oswald in Oliver Stone's epic film "JFK", & as Ludwig Van Beethoven in "Immortal Beloved"...

[@cesarvidelac]

Marian, you are right about the cannibalism issue. The exact cause is a pathogen protein, virus like. It causes a disease similar to the Mad cow disease, that's why the trembling hands. Off topic but... this movie got Denzel his first time trailing Filipino martial arts, this led to the next series of movies of him, "The Equalizer", I hope you watch those movies soon too. I always have a great time watching movies with you guys, much love from Chile! ❤🤗🙏

[@3XLDave]

"Flight" is another great Denzel Washington movie.

[@thereallyst]

Signs he was blind: -He looked directly into the sun, people with sight can't do that and have to shield their eyes.He doesn't even flinch -He smelled the high-jackers before they appeared and it was outdoors -He then ignores the leader when he talks to him and continues to look around him -But when the leader pushes him, and says "Are you listening?" Eli, has a gauge of the attacker and where he is and says, "I am now" -He hears the chain saw, so that one was easy. -He heard Solara following him -He FELT the water in the bowl and cave -You notice Eli ALWAYS picks a spot with natural sunlight to sleep cause it wakes him up from the warmth, cause he can't see when it's time to get up. - He takes an interest in Claudia and her background when finds out she is blind -When Eli went to go see about getting his device charged, the owner says the name and that he hasn't seen on since the 90s. Eli said he didn't know the brand, that he just got it back East. When the shop owner looks down, the name is clearly on the device. People think that Eli's ignorance shows or he just doesn't care about the brand -Eli feels the lighters flame to see if it's lit. That way he knows it works and the shop owner won't try to cheat him cause he knows he's blind -Eli clearly didn't see the old cannibal couples NO TRESPASSING sign. He says he didn't see it, so they don't know he's blind, but something an oblivious person with sight might say. Solara can see it, but can't read... -Eli attacks second, never first in a fight because he relies on sound.

[@Jmihop]

He had heavy cataracts, so he could still sense light and dark and movement. That is why, after he cut off the leaders hand, he backed under the dark underpass, to see the rest of the gang coming for him.

[@tommykelvingomezjimenez9136]

During one of the first scenes it looks like the sunlight in his face woke him up. It didn't. The heat did.

[@Lyrikhan19]

Let’s go! The people have voted and our voices were heard! This movie was absolutely one of Denzel’s best!❤

[@qvb1201]

At the old couples house, Eli kicks a step when walking up. Some think he did it on purpose to test the integrity but I think because he is blind he just misstepped.

[@DRaquascapes]

It wasnt the sun.. it was nukes.

[@diegosuarez1563]

One of my favorite Denzel movies is 2 Guns, with Mark Walberg. Think yall would like it.

[@Move_I_Got_This-b3v]

That's not just a book.

[@BlackDeathThrash]

just a ridiculous work of fiction.

[@Move_I_Got_This-b3v]

@@BlackDeathThrash When they banned that book from schools in 1958 it caused divorce, addictions, STD, crime, homelessness and debt to skyrocket. What book has more wisdom than the Bible? Who has more wisdom than the Bible?

[@mathieubernier5746]

I love you guys!! Such a cute couple. I love your interactions with each others. It obvious you guys love each others. I can tell he’s a good man and obviously beyond miss beauty she’s having a big heart and a sweet person. Long live for you guys

[@nrgmanifest]

I love this movie and the reaction. the reveal is great and the rewatch is just as good. Trust. Btw some of the tells are... ...he didn't see the hanging body in the closet but he smelled it and felt for the shoes... ...he heard the mouse... ...he smelled the gang... ...he waited for ppl to attack first to know where they were... ...he didn't see the no trespassing sign... And more...

[@mr.masses3202]

GREAT choice for a Movie an a GREAT Reaction guys,you're GREAT at what you do...!!!

[@jeanb.5405]

I think he gets shot because he handed the book over to the enemy - while he kept it safe he was protected. But he did memorize it so that was good - and the protector (Angel) helped him arrive where he needed to go.

[@howardb.6205]

I dig you two, merry Christmas guys! Great flick ...game over!

[@brucelee5620]

You don't have seen Denzel Washington if you not watch Malcolm X 1992. My favorite KZbin Couple ✨

[@LazloHo]

I don't think the way the world looked was supposed to be because of their glasses. It's just that the world is grungy and gray and the people are grungy and gray and the sun is weird because the sky is weird. You saw the green when they got to California, nobody took off their glasses there.

[@danieldwyer]

The Key to the book is the Cross around Eli's neck. Carnagie took the book, but didn't take the Crucifix to open it. The Island that they go to at the end is Alcatraz. More clues he was blind, he told Solara to be quiet and heard the bird flying way before she did. When he fought the hijackers, he moved back into the dark where he would have the advantage. when he lit the lighter, he had to move his hand through it to actually know if a flame was there. When he needed boots, he felt the feet of the guy in the car and then the guy in the cabin before he knew the boots where there. When it was morning, the only way he knew it was morning is when he put his face in the Sun. The original directors uncut movie started out before the war when Carnegie was a young boy and his mother watched Televanglists and she gave all her money away to them. I do believe Eli was born blind as well, that is why he knows how to read Braille.

[@greatfox232]

I love how he said, he's the only one who's suppose to touch the book.. and how he's been untouched. The moment he gives it up lightning strikes and get shots, cause he didn't trust God in that moment..

[@klinewalker7301]

The cat at the beginning is a hairless breed called a sphinx.

[@642lin]

the island they went to is called Alcatraz. it was a prison but is now a national historic landmark and part of the golden gate national recreation area.

[@chrismillington2729]

Thx both, perfect as always.

[@michaelriddick7116]

I love this movie! 🥰 I would totally watch a pt2 following Solara's joourney back east! 👍😎👍

[@greenpeasuit]

If you rewatch, Denzel is such a great actor, you can see he is blind when you know to look for it, but it isn't so obvious as to spoil the twist ending. Not many can act thst gone line.

[@williamj6974]

The Bible protected him from harm as long as it was in his possession

[@lordvader199]

You don't have to be blind to read braille. The is no sense other than sight, which would allow you to find an electronic repair shop. LOL

[@xoxoLuck]

love this movie! glad you liked it!

[@colinwest3301]

This is a great movie. They are planing a prequel, with John Boyega playing Eli. The way most movies are today, I don't have much hope for it being any good at all.

[@chocolate-teapot]

A hidden gem of a move, somebody spoiled the twist for me though

[@jamesgreenhow108]

Please continue with Denzel. One of his earlier movies is a classic that co-starred the lady who played Mila Kunis mom in this movie. Jennifer Beals. "DEVIL IN A BLUE DRESS" is a classic. Also "UNSTOPPABLE" "MALCOLM X" "COURAGE UNDER FIRE" "REMEMBER THE TITANS" "A SOLDIERS STORY"

[@joshuacampbell7493]

Guys, watch Mila Kunis again in Ted. It's extremely hilarious 😂.

The "Finger lickin' good" line 😂😂😂

[@colinwest3301]

The war burned off the planets ozone. Same as in The Matrix. That's why the light is like that. A bit like Giedi Prime in Dune Part 2. Where their sun went nova. Meaning it became a red giant, then colapsed under it's own weight. That's why it's black and white light outside on Giedi Prime. They're just lucky their sun didn't become a black hole.

[@michaeltaylor8835]

Love Denzel

[@renedavids6154]

You must watch the The Equalizer trilogy, The Bone Collector, Virtuosity and Man on Fire movies with Denzel. And there are stilll Training Day and Malcom X. Such a great actor. On the other side don't forgrt Gary Oldman. Plays good and bad man. Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Fifth Element, Léon: The Professional and Sirius Black in the Harry Potter series. You'r doing great reactions. Did you notice he was blind in this movie. He react on sounds, not on sight.

[@tiagoalves2056]

They already Saw The Equalizer trilogy i think look it up and Training Day recently.

[@KHAOE1]

Fences, Antwon Fisher and Ricochet too

[@DDRaider439]

At the beginning of the movie he would kick the steps because he couldn't see them. He had a strong sense of smell throughout the whole movie, smelled the shampoo, the salt from the sea, and he smelled the highjackers. Heightened sense of hearing when he terminated the bird for lunch. Additionally, he couldn't hit his target when he was shooting until after he heard where the gun fire was coming from. And didn't take cover because he couldn't see the gunmen.

[@BM-hb2mr]

He wasn't blind. He did everything by faith. Also if you think he's blind then how did he look down at his ipod and know the battery was deand then so even done a interview and he said he wasn't it was by faith

[@hippusmaximus9319]

Mila Kunis (Solara) was miscast in this movie. She is just playing a variant of herself, which is how she acts in many of her parts. She could not even change the way she speaks or moves. She phoned in her performance.

I have watched this movie a whole lot of times - I NEVER KNEW he was Blind. I figured he could read the brail after all seeing people invented the brail and teach the blind to read it.......... but I think you are right - He could Smell the People in the beginning - he smelled the water - his eyes did have a glassy cover to them and he looked directly into the sun at one point.

He wasn't blind, it was by faith.Also, ask yourself when he looked down at the ipod and looked at the battery level.He knew the battery was dead, so he wasn't blind.He didn't interview and even said that it was by faith.Not by sight he wasn't blind
