Pittsburgh Adult Entertainment: The Book of Eli
January 15, 2010
The movies most critical moment happens not in the midst of a firefight, but in a candlelit room where Eli teaches Mila Kuniss prostitute character Solara to pray. Its not so much that these things go on which makes the movie propaganda, rather its the out of proportion reaction characters seem to have to them. Solara, who has never even heard of religion let alone contemplated a deity, hears Our Father for the first time and rather than questioning what all this gobbeldy gook about a father in heaven means shes instantly transformed into a religious zealot. The film treats the words in the Bible as if its simply saying them that matters, not understanding them. So those magic words are sought after like a nuclear bomb, as if the scripture contained within it will instantly heal all the worlds ills through ownership of it, even though the entire planet has pretty much been turned into dust. But Book of Eli is utterly unaware of the illogic in any of that, lost in a strange, post-apocalyptic, Christian fervor which believes rather than thinks.
