The Book of Eli

& Eli 2 mouse: You hungry? You know, you gotta come get it. You'll like it. It's cat. ... Leave room for breakfast.


& Eli: You know, the only good thing about no soap is that you can smell hijackers a mile off.


& Eli: I don't want any trouble. I'm just a customer. Okay?


& Eli: "Cursed be the ground for our sake. Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for us. For out of the ground, we were taken. For the dust, we are. And to the dust, we shall return."

---

& Carnegie: Put a crew together. We're going after him.
    Redridge: For a fucking book.
    Carnegie: It's not a fucking book! It's a weapon! A weapon aimed right at the hearts and minds of the weak and the desperate! It will give us control of them! If we wanna rule more than one small fucking town, we have to have it! People will come from all over, they'll do exactly what I tell them if the words are from the book. It's happened before, and it'll happen again. All we need is that book.


& Solara: You know, you say you've been walking for 30 years, right?
    Eli: Right.
    Solara: Have you ever thought that maybe you were lost?
    Eli: Nope.
    Solara: Well, how do you know that you're walking in the right direction?
    Eli: "We walk by faith, not by sight."
    Solara: What does that mean?
    Eli: It means that you know something, even if you don't know something.
    Solara: That doesn't make any sense.
    Eli: Doesn't have to make sense, it's faith. It's faith. It's the flower of light in the field of darkness that's giving me the strength to carry on. You understand?
    Solara: Is that from your book?
    Eli: No, it's Johnny Cash live at Folsom Prison.
{ Here we go:

Greystone Chapel, Johnny Cash at Folsom prison }


& Carnegie: Ask, and you shall receive. God is good, is He not?
    Eli: All the time.

~ Мессидж понятен. Дензел Вашингтон прекрасен. Что уж говорить за Милу Канис. Сюжет использован многажды. Вряд ли в этой истории можно сказать что-то новое. Остается лишь воспроизводить ее с должным качеством. И иногда, очень редко, добавлять изюминку. А изюминка в книге Илая есть!

! Красиво.

!! В итоге — сделано так, что хочется включить и пересмотреть с начала.

? Есть намек на продолжение. Мисль: не заменит ли Мила Канис Милу Йовович из рэзидэнт эвэл?..
