The Book Of Eli
This was a total surprise!!! What a wonderful movie. The most Christian movie I have seen come out of secular Hollywood since the Passion Of The Christ. Denzel Washington plays the part of a lone traveller in an post apocolyptic world, destined to protect the last bible on Earth. He walks this road with a serene elegance and poise as if he is being guided. Always heading west... he just knows that eventually he will come to a place where his charge can be read and appreciated at the right time. Until then he is its feircest protector. Some people wont get it I am sure. They will have gone in expecting an action movie only.. Which they will get for sure as the movie is chalk full of that. But they will also get a fantastic morality tail and a deeper story. In an interview I read that Washington, a Christian himself, changed parts of the script to better bring out the Christian message. Which was fantastic. I love it when I am surprised about movies.. and this is definitely one of them. 6.0/6.0
