Book Of Eli (Denzel Washington 2010)



Genre: Dramas
Theatrical Release:Jan 15, 2010 Wide

Synopsis: In the not-too-distant future, some 30 years after the final war, a solitary man walks across the wasteland that was once America. Empty cities, broken highways, seared earth--all around him, the marks of catastrophic destruction. There is no civilization here, no law. The roads belong to gangs that would murder a man for his shoes, an ounce of water...or for nothing at all.

But they're no match for this traveler.

A warrior not by choice but necessity, Eli (Denzel Washington) seeks only peace but, if challenged, will cut his attackers down before they realize their fatal mistake. It's not his life he guards so fiercely but his hope for the future; a hope he has carried and protected for 30 years and is determined to realize. Driven by this commitment and guided by his belief in something greater than himself, Eli does what he must to survive--and continue.

Only one other man in this ruined world understands the power Eli holds, and is determined to make it his own: Carnegie (Gary Oldman), the self-appointed despot of a makeshift town of thieves and gunmen. Meanwhile, Carnegie's adopted daughter Solara (Mila Kunis) is fascinated by Eli for another reason: the glimpse he offers of what may exist beyond her stepfather's domain.

But neither will find it easy to deter him. Nothing--and no one--can stand in his way. Eli must keep moving to fulfill his destiny and bring help to a ravaged humanity. --© Warner Bros [Less]

Data From Rotten Tomatoes

Analysis :
It is really hard for me to seek the weakness of this movie. I really love it, especially the ending. I don't guest before that Eli is a blind man. I really surprised at the end of the story. May be something that I don't really like is the color of the movie that always in black and white domination. I don't know why the director do this, but I'm sure that he has his own reason. Anyway from scale 0 to 10 points, I give 8,7 point for this movie. Keep watch movie and analysis movie. Not for judge but for share. God Bless You. Viktor Mononimbar.
