- The Book of Eli is a post-apocalyptic movie about the search for The Bible. Denzel Washington stars and Gary Oldman is the villain, and it's SUPER watchable and fun. But it does have sins! So we counted them.
Thursday: Horror franchise sins that don't make sense.
Remember, no movie is without sin. Which movie's sins should we count next?!

UA-cam really getting comfortable with double 15sec no skip ads
We keep watching them too
IKR
Oh really I didnt get any at all
It's conditioning. They start with single 30 second skipable ads. Then they do 15 second unskipable. Then 2 30 second skipable. Then a 30 second skipable and a 15 unskipable. Now it's 2 15 second unskipables. Next it'll be a 30 second unskipable then 2 of them.

What about that new baby smell?
Coincidence I think Not!
The reason Eli was hesitant to give up the book even though he had it memorized is because he got so preoccupied with protecting it he struggled to let it go. Kind of explained when he tells the girl he forgot to live by what it taught him.
Maybe it's cause he still didn't memorise the last few pages and would not give it up till he did
That wasn't cheddar Bob it was mc bob
Also I think its saying that Eli not giving up the book makes sense from a logical perspective. We see it only takes the engineer guy a few minutes to unlock the book, and Carnegie would have found out that it was written in Braille all along. They would have come after him to get him to read it anyway, better to draw it out and lead them on a wild goose chase and let them go back with a book they can't read.
He wasn't brushing his teeth with his finger, he was applying cat fat to his lips as chapstick.
Guessing the guy doing the channel don't do any bushcraft.
He also did not kill the cat in the bar, and he is only partially blind.
Didn't he literally rub his teeth? Maybe I didn't see right.
Cinemasins: “makes a reference to Dumbledore and Maxine survives the apocalypse “

That was Dumbledore wasn't it? I thought I recognize that voice.
The Bible is literally the most printed book ever. There's absolutely no way it would be so rare 30 years after an apocalypse event, even if people actively went and burned them.
⭐Plus, there's no reason provided in the plot as to who led such a massive crusade or why... Also, the fact that it would take a freaking crusade to burn every Bible on the planet just goes to show how relevant the Bible is...
Not really any more. Most people I know aren't religious. I expect in another 30 years it won't by that highly printed. You are more likely to find a Harry Potter book than a bible.
@@jimmym3352 Regardless of what you may believe, the Bible is still the most printed single book out there right now and it has been for the past century. It would be literally impossible to track down even 90% of all the copies and destroy it within a 30 year timespan. The Gideons alone distribute 80 million copies a year and have distributed 2 billion copies over the organization's lifetime.
@@CDNChaoZ Certainly true that no way every copy would be destroyed in 30 years. Especially since so many private homes have a copy. Especially ones in rural areas unlikely to be destroyed by whatever apocalypse happened before the movie. It's not like these things are only located in churches.
Its literally a story not real
It seems like Gary Oldman never plays the same character twice. He has great range when it comes to different accents.
Indeed. The only reoccurring character that comes to mind is his portrayal of Jim Gordon.
I wish “The Fifth Element” had been given the multi-movie treatment. Oldman’s, Zorg, could have been as epic as Vader had they given him more character development time.
This character seems a little similar to his character in Leon: The Professional.
And that in the 5th element, well said. @@Criner05

"Is there a handgun that isn't automatic that holds 17 round magazines?"
Literally the original glock pistol takes 17 round mags by default.
But sadly the gun Eli is using only holds 10

@@supremejack4497 So if you're conservative, you know about guns by default? Huh, my preacher friends must have been holding out on me, considering I know they don't have or use or know about guns... And my liberal father who has a doctorate AND was in the military must have been lying too....
Many hand guns hold more than 17 rounds. Those that don't from the factory often hold more than 17 rounds. 30+ rounds are common.
I've had pocket pistols that hold 15 and would literally fit in a pocket.
Yeah, far left writers.
You have to admit the Book of Eli is a better Christian than God's Not Dead.

Maybe he's just color blind, given how colorful this movie is.
It's the tint on the movie that made me enjoy it lol.
Mind blown
i don't think he is blind in the whole movie, he looks the shop keeper dead in the eye no discolor in his eyes. if he is supposed to be blind all along this is a very badly made movie.
Bee fair he isn’t blind he just knows how to read braille
That's not how colour blind works

Mr CinemaSins: “Are there handguns that aren’t automatic that hold 17 rounds?”
Americans: "My time has come."
You mean like literally an ordinary glock.
*literally any full size handgun having 17 be a smaller magazine
You misspelled austrian
I’m always absolutely fascinated by how little people know about guns. Probably the most popular handgun in the US is the Glock 17 9mm pistol, used by about a zillion law enforcement agencies. It’s probably the most likely gun for Denzel to have in this post apocolyptic world. Guess how many rounds it holds? 17+1. There are countless numbers of 9mm pistols that hold at least 17 rounds. My Springfield XDm has 19+1 magazine.
67L48 well the gun he has holds 11 so.
"I would have some serious doubts about the authenticity of that tome. Seriously, if it turned out he just spewed a bunch of religious sounding garbage and an entire reliong became founded around it, that would be hilarious" You just described the Book of Morm...OOHHH
Essentially all religious texts began this way. Stories, creation myths, the history of the tribe, etc were memorized by a few people and passed down from person to person, generation after generation. At some point someone got the 200 IQ idea of writing all that down
Lol thats what I was thinking 🤣
Annnnnnnnnd they said it is the word of God
Suuuuuure
@P. A. yup. The BOM was written by just one man though. The Bible is a compilation.
@P. A. the Bible is a much lower level of ridiculous than the Book of Mormon. Much of the Bible is actually extremely insightful. The Book of Mormon is an entirely different beast.
Didn’t recognize the actors of Dumbledore and Madam Maxime. Nice one!
Nor i
did you recognize sirius black tho...i mean
To be fair Dumbledore was played by different actors in almost every movie
trekami he was played by the same person in the first two movies and the same person in the last 5 movies. Dafuq do you mean EVERY movie?
@@ellenbrake1653 Right? Although I didn't recognize Sirius Black first, I recognized Commissioner Gordon.
First, let me say that I love this movie. I've seen it so many times that I've lost count. But I still fight with myself that he's supposed to be blind. He does too many things that seeing people do: like he looks up and focuses (squints) his eyes when he talks to people. I've interacted with several blind people (I have a cousin who is blind) and they never do that. I've always thought that he taught himself to read braille because the only bible left was in braille.
Well one major giveaway is he was able to smell the stink of the hijackers early on in the film. When you lose one sense the others are heightened. And a major point of the film is "walk by faith, not by sight". I mean the man with goggles shot Eli in the bag he had and the bullet went in but not out. What was in the bag? The Bible.
The other give away is that the movie ends with a close up shot of his discolored eyes and the bad guy seizing over the book being braille. Also, I wouldn't read too much into micro cues, as directors and actors do make mistakes and dont always do extensive research.
@Grimm Reaper Yea, not saying you have to be blind to read braille. I'm saying the directors implied his blindness by doing a close-up of his discolored eyes, then switching to a shot of the book being braille.
This movie should have been called Quest for the Holy Braille. (rimshot)
alright, you win the internet for today sir XD
T.S. Eliot would have approved.
BOOOOOOO
But seriously, I spit when I read that
Monty pisson was overrated crap
Honestly i never believed that he was Blind, he just knew how to read Braille.
The end of the movie shows he has blind people eyes I think
I always figured he could see lights and basic shapes but that's it.
@@ollehkacb His eyes are shown multiple times before that though, including in front if other characters.
From what was in this video, it doesn't look like he's meant to be blind.
He reaches *up* to the body, has accuracy for movements when he shouldn't know how far away things are or exactly where they are (think the fights), and is way to sure in his footing on what should be roads with potholes and the like because assuming this is supposed to take place in america the roads would not be in good condition.
Don't get me wrong, he *could* just be legally blind and have some sense of light and shadow like the previous person commented, but it didn't look like that to me. He might as well be toph from last airbender and sensing vibrations through the ground
They were pretty loose with how blind he was, throughout the majority of the film he has obvious perfect vision apart from one or two moments meant to hint that he's blind sprinkled throughout, and then suddenly at the end we see he's blind and apparently was totally blind the entire time.
Sinning the fact that a lot of full sized handguns hold 17 rounds and there are hardly any fully automatic handguns out there and you sinned it. Reverse sin
Totally accurate but I still like the movie....a lot.
Yea
Don’t misunderstand... so do they.
@@icameinlate2 Why would you think I misunderstood?
Right me too 🤣
That's the dig out of the entire video
As much as i hear that America's roads have a lot of problems but the reason Eli walks only on the roads is because it is equal footing, imagine trying to walk on unequal flooring not being unable to see whats on there, also roads are straight meaning its easier to roughly know where you're going.
Also, also the reason that Eli wants to keep the book regardless that he has memorised it is that it is not only a SYMBOL of his devotion to protect "the word of god" but it is his one possession that brings him comfort in a world of crazy blackness, his ipod can die if he can't charge it but his book will always be there to bring comfort
What I don't get is considering how bad much of America's road system is, how did he not break a leg or an ankle on a pothole. A trip through any part of Louisiana or Texas would do it.
also also, if he did give Carnegie the book, he would find out its in Braille and would imprison Eli immediately, since he would be the only guy that would be able to read it for him and Eli would never be able to finish his pilgrimage.
also the fact that there are people who would be looking for The Bible specifically to distort it or manipulate people with it, but that is already illustrated.
I am so so sorry, but could you please capitalize "the Word of God" please, you dont have to now, just in the future. Please.
Another sin to add - why does Eli start reading from Genesis when this "library" already has the Jewish Torah? For those who don't know, Torah is the first 5 books of the Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy). And seeing as how they have the Torah and the Tanach, I wouldn't be surprised if they had the rest of the Old Testament. Christianity and Judaism share the same religious texts within the Old Testament - the only difference between the two religions is that Christianity also has the New Testament, so THAT is what that library would be missing, not the entire Bible.
Just an fyi, Tanach is the 3 parts of the Old Testament - Torah, Neviim and Ctovim (it's actually an acronym of those 3 in Hebrew spelled TN"C - תנ"ך), so if he had a Tanach there then he had the Old Testament
Nir Shoham
Got it - and that further re-iterates my point that this part would be sin-worthy 😋
Especially because it shows that it’s the Artscroll’s version... which has an English translation in it. So you can’t even use the excuse that maybe no one survived who knew Biblical Hebrew.

To be honest this movie does have pretty good and breath taking post apocalyptic scenary
It's kind of hard to hate Gary Oldman's character in this movie when he literally the only person who can plan ahead or even think for himself. And unlike Rango, the water shortage is real, not manufactured. Rationing a finite resource isn't evil. It's smart.
Dont be an idiot, water is not finite... it is created under the earth mantle
It really does feel to me like Gary Oldman's and Denzel Washington's characters are the only two "player characters" in the movie's world (Eli because he's got protagonist superpowers, Carnegie because he's literally the only one who makes proactive decisions) and everyone else is just NPCs who exist to perform a single function, more like props than people

@@YudazOwn Phew! I'm glad this guy is here to educate us on how easy it is to find water in a desert. All of those people who have fought wars throughout history to secure their water supplies could have learned a thing from this badass.
One of Denzel Washington's most underrated films and performances.
can not stress that enough.
The supernatural aspect is hinted many several times. One of them when the henchmen shoots Eli right towards him and misses him and another shot that hits his bag, but doesn't go through it.
He bumps into a few things in the beginning as well
Definitely an underrated film with a nicely handled twist.

@@LastBastian It's a good movie. You have not watched enough dumb movies. Or perhaps I have. And Christianity is not stupid, though it is incorrect.

They are not stupid people. Fun fact, religious people tend to be MUCH happier than athiests and agnostics. That's why it's not stupid. At least they aren't all depressed about life like I am.
6:57 Yeah 17 rounds is fairly standard among full-size pistols.
Chris Eccles He's using a Heckler & Koch HK45 with it's standard issue magazine, which holds 10 rounds of .45. They do indeed make a 20-round magazine for the gun, but it doubles the length of the grip and would have been obnoxiously obvious. If the film makers wanted him to have a high capacity .45 caliber handgun, they should have had him use an FNX which has a 15 round magazine + 1 in the chamber and it could have worked in this scene, plus it looks at least somewhat similar to the HK 45.
@@iceddz Sounds like writer and props department just didn't communicate.
@@iceddz Yeah, it looks like it was an HK45, which has a 10 round magazine. They could have gone with another gun, like a 9mm, but by going with the HK, they should have limited to 10.

the dare devil, part, is kinda the point.
he's driven by god, essentially 'blessed' and being able to continue on and know what to do to make the trip - his very action is basically guided by god.

Tons of semi auto pistols that hold 17 rounds with a standard magazine . Glock 17 , HK p30-USP-VP9, CZ etc. 15 - 17 rounds is pretty standard in handguns made in the last 30 years
"people from Missouri" Hahaha
Also yeah there are handguns that hold 17 rounds.
Yeah like my Ruger sr9 which is cheap and common. Dude don't know his guns very well
That’s when I stopped watching. A quick 10 seconds google search would’ve told you even compacts* can carry that many. Or listen to warren g and Nate dog: 16 in the clip and one in the hole... haha
i present you- the glock 17
But is the gun type Denzel is using one of them?
Denzels character is using a Heckler and Koch HK45 which at most holds 11 rounds (10 in the mag + 1 in the chamber) if it were the P30 then at most it would hold 16 rounds (15+1). Whilst there are many other handguns that hold more or less the same amount of ammo, movie props for this were of the HK45, the man could have had a reload somewhere in there but I haven't seen the movie in a while.
Carnegie should have examined inside of books that were brought to him too. Maybe someone hid Bible in covers of some other book in hope to save it when Bibles were destroyed.
@CinemaSins
Most standard 9mm pistol mags have 17 rounds and a standard extended round mag for a 9mm usually have 21 look at the clip capacity of Glock 17 or a Sig P320.
But Eli carries a Heckler & Koch HK45 which is 10+1, so the sin stays
You lost all credibility when you said "clip".
John Doe credibility or not he’s still right, pretty much any 9mm double stack mag is 17+
logan mangrum no, not really.
John Doe alright bud I shouldn’t have expected someone who associates word choice with credibility to listen anyway

Pepperidge farms remembers

"Cheddar Bob is about to shoot himself in the leg all over again" 😂😂😂
"Sin of omission." He was instructed by God to stay on the path and protect the book. His problems started when he veered from the path to help Solara and handed over the book to save her life. At the same time it's implied that if he didn't, he may not have had absolution for his sacrifice and disobedience of commands that weren't moral.
curtis m
More accurately put, there is no requirement to save someone’s life esp. if attempting to do so puts you in mortal danger. I would argue that it is sinful to try to save someone’s life if you are under-equipped for the dangerous situation and have an opportunity to flee and get help from someone who is equipped to help.
His problems (saving Solara) was included in his mission. I'm not trying to be religious, (although I believe Jesus is Lord and the only begotten son of God) there is still resistance to God's will from the enemy. (Satan)
@@SugarRayCharles. if he hadn't saved Solara, he wouldn't have been punished. He would've made the journey. Then the thinking goes to "How would he have lived with himself knowing he had killed presumably scores of people and watched innocents die after the completion of his task given by God?" If he didn't help her and hand over the book, it's implied that something miraculous would've happened to save him. A mutiny, a crazy distraction to give him the upperhand etc. But notice what Solara does: she tries to keep him on the path knowing it would cost her her life. She begged him not to hand over the book. She was willing to sacrifice herself for God's will, therefore she got the protection of God and was able to escape her captors, return to Eli and she, not Eli, completed the mission by carrying the book (Eli) to Alcatraz. His punishment was death, his reward was absolution and salvation. His soul was weary from watching evil happen. It was stained by it. Completing a task for God and memorizing the Bible doesn't guarantee you'll go to heaven. Following the words of the Bible do. He followed those words by loving Solara, a virtual stranger, enough to risk his life and 30 year mission to save her. Notice his clothes go from tattered and dark to all white and clean as he recites the Bible. He may not have went to heaven without his sacrifice. But he didn't know at the time that what he did was the right thing to do. Sorry, I know this is long.
@@curtism-w6b Remember when Eli and Solara was at the house of the cannibals. Eli told Solara that the voice he heard said that she will make it out alive, meaning that their circumstance in that instance was foreknown. When the male cannibal asked if he and his wife would make the shootout alive, Eli responded by saying the voice didn't mention them. They ended up dying.
@@SugarRayCharles. exactly, the voice already knew she'd sacrifice herself for the book. Omnipotent and omniscient is the Lord.
I watched this without watching the movie yet here you gave out multiple sin-offs for excellent action scenes.
Now I'm interested to watch this. 🤔
Up until the big twist at the end, it's actually a pretty good post-apocalyptic action flick. The only real problem is the twist reveal that makes zero sense in the context of the rest of the movie. Like, they could have still kept the braille Bible as a plot point and not have him be blind with only a few lines of dialogue that someone close to him was blind before the apocalypse and he learned to read the braille Bible because of that person. It wouldn't even need a massive exposition dump to explain, just something quick like "My mother went blind from diabetes and she taught me how to read her braille Bible when I was a child."
@@Dargonhuman I think the twist is good for the movie and makes the ending satisfying.
The twist isn't a twist when you know about it
But I've rewatched and enjoyed the film for the atmosphere and action alone, so I'd say worth a vidi
@@Dargonhuman another possibility: he got interested by himself, or learned to go close to the new lonely blind kid in school. Showing how empathy and offer a hand to others is a plus (and it match the religious tone aswell). He could have learn his fight skills and other things like that: he got interested in people around him, even the ones rejected by society
@@jessicav931 I like that.
17-round magazines are extremely common with 9 mm double stacked handguns actually it's almost the norm. As well as 9 mm is the most common handgun roundand most likely would be the round found in an apocalypse. Remove the sin!!!

@Jevon Dismuke Freedom Week 2 coming soon! Hopefully
@@calebmauer1751 but Freedom Week describes a specific time/event in California. Maybe people outside of the gun community would be confused, but everyone within it instantly knows what you mean by it
His gun in that scene was an HK 45, the standard magazine for it is 10 rounds, so technically the sin wasn't wrong, although it is indeed very common for handguns to hold up to 17.
I saw this in theaters and the two guys I went with refused to believe that he was blind. I knew it when he turned the water on.
Also, a nice touch - the theater didnt turn the lights back on at the end. Not even the dim lights. We had to walk out in total darkness.
cringe
They most definitely make “non-automatic” handguns with magazines with 17 or more shots lol
I was very confused by that sin
@@Vivi-OwO his gun could only hold 10 + 1 rounds but he shot 17
A glock 17 which is a very common handgun and kinda looks like what he has has a 17 round magazine capacity.
A lot of sin count padding in this one, Birdman should be fun.
@@Excalibur01 by default it's a 10 round magazine, but you can extend that up to 20 rounds. He's using an HK45 so it's reasonable that he could shoot 17 rounds without reloading. Doesn't look like an extended magazine though.
When you said "why did you say that name" I busted out laughing at work!
Genuinely made me burst out laughing
Eh?
That was funny

"you CANNOT smell age... I've tried"
-CinemaSins, 2020
>I've tried
I'm sure so did Jeffry Epstein
Isn't old people smell a thing? Yes yes I know it's the smell of dying.
That actually annoyed me, because you can smell age. Colloquially, it’s called “old man smell.” It is a real thing, a consequence of your changing body chemistry as you age.
Grey Hunter I always thought it was because all old people think moth balls are some sort of magic elixir and use it for everything 😂
@@longfang98 I worked at a preschool for 9 years, took care of my grandmother for 16 years and worked at an assisted living facility for seven. Yes. You can smell age. Each stage of life has a particular odor.
They give away the fact he's blind and reading braille at the very beginning of the movie, if you pay attention.
In the "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart" scene in which he first takes out the book to read the Bible, they show Eli's face close up as he does so. You can see him start to mouth the words as he reads along, which wouldn't be a significant detail on his own, except for one thing. He keeps his eyes closed.
They make a point of slowly zooming in on his face while he's reading so you can clearly see he never opens his eyes, and yet everyone seems to miss it.
He was a messenger of God. God bestowed him with the powers necessary to spread the good word and bring human civilisation back together again.
By the way I'm not religious and I really enjoyed this movie and liked the twist at the end
Seems like a bit of a dick move of god to do the same for seemingly every religion, though.
Oh, so that's the plot
That's why you can see his eyes change at the end because as he is completing the task that God set out for him to do his powers go and he begins to age rapidly
10:44 holy crap. hell has frozen over. two instances where Jeremy removed a sin. somebody pinch me. O_O
*pinch*
@@cmdraftbrn OW! o_o (lol jk)
Back to back as well!! Had to rewind to check if it wasn’t a glitch
Go look at EWW "Get Out" if you want more sin removing action
Not just removed a sin, removed a total of four sins in two separate instances over the span of maybe 20 seconds.
"Opening your eyes during prayer is worth 5 sins at least"
That one got me
I always thought he wasn’t blind , he just could read Brail , they actually hint his wife was blind
The ending makes it clear he's blind his eyes are completely hazed over.
Here's a list to all the blind clues:

Inserttext Yeah, but... only “hazed over” at the end?
I *was* blind, but now, I see 😎
Also would like to point out that blind people are not always sightless. The distinction is fine but there is one. Many blind people can see shades and shapes and light.
Chris McEwan this makes more sense to me.
I've never bought it either, ONly found out after the first viewing. 2nd one didn't convince me.
Am i the only one who can’t see movies the same after watching “every thing wrong with” ?
Same
Definitely not the only one. I can hear the cinema sins guy’s voice in my head now, every time I watch a film! (Especially if it’s not a very good film)
alexxxth
I know right. Especially if it’s a movie that still hasn’t been sinned, i can’t help but naturally figure out the sins by myself lol
"Is there a handgun that holds 17 rounds that isn't automatic?"
*Laughs in 33 round Glock mag*
This is one of the best "religious" movies since Passion of the Christ. I've seen so many terrible, terrible heavy handed lectures disguised as movies.
I Am Legend is one
@Flying Rat I Am Legend is a "heavy handed lecture disguised as a movie" ... the ending has Will Smith's character attempting to communicate with the crazed zombified people "I'm trying to save your life" but the people are just too ill and incapacitated to accept it...this is an evangelical metaphor that implies a sort of spiritual virus which nonbelievers possess, but because of their sinful condition they are unable to respond to the answer
6:47 as a fellow Missourian I can approve this as the perfect representation of people from Missouri
"You cannot smell age... I've tried." Joe Biden: "(Pfft) amateur."
LOL
Good one!!! XD
lmfao
I want a book of solara now thanks for that CinemaSins
"Jesus and Zeus"
Kratos: I know what must be done.
I've never seen this movie, but it seems genuinely amazing.
it's a pretty good movie, even if you're not a christian..story is fairly succinct, the twist is pretty cool, and as it was highlighted in this video, the actions scenes are very good
it's incredible
I highly recommend it.
its an incredible movie for sure. could say the same for every denzel movie btw.
The first time I watched this movie I thought to myself "whats a sighted dude doing reading brail?"
It honestly took me way to long to realize they wanted me to believe that Eli was blind. It makes way more sense that he is just a highly skilled sighted person that can read brail to me.
That's a logical conclusion. But this movie is about faith. You can choose to believe that, which is cool, but I think you are missing the point the writer was trying to make with the story. The Book of Eli references the Bible he carries. It would also be the name of his story in a modern Bible - like the book of Job etc. This story is a modern addition to the Bible. The telling of how the Bible survived after nuclear war almost destroyed it and religion. If you view it in that light, you can see what the writer and director intended.
"Honestly if you told me that people would found a religion based on someone's religious garble..."
Actually, isn't that the Mormons? Lol
I was thinking the same thing. That and Scientology.
thats every religion ever
Isn't that all religions though? Find me one that isn't a retelling of some kind.
@@jalexandus there's a firm difference between the religions established for thousands of years vs Joseph Smith talking out of a hat and adding in racist sh!t to make a joke religion followed by people he called Morons... I mean Mormons. Plus, scientology was literally the guy wanting to make his own religion with a bunch of garbled scifi, as joked about in the video.
Don't get me wrong. I think all religion is the poison in humanity's veins.
he wasn't using his fingers as a tooth brush, he was using the cat oil as lip balm. man watching this channel these days you are really reaching for sins.
yes they are. have you ever watched Th3Birdman videos Everything wrong with CinemaSins ?
After watching the whole movie start to finish, I could not convince my family that he was actually Blind the whole time... :\
I didn't buy it. I know that's the twist, but it's done stupidly. I was dating a blindguy at the time. So much was utterly wrong with this movie.
He's not completely blind until the end, he's legally blind and losing eyesight as the movie goes. The character is based on Eli from the bible, who also gradually losing eyesight until he's blind.
And there're also the whole "guided by god and faith" that the movie implied.
@@arisucheddar3097 was it any more ridiculous than something like Daredevil?
6:55 the pistol looks like a Sig p320. the 9mm version of this gun has a 17 round capacity. it is also a pretty common pistol in both civilian and military/police use. so it is very fair to say eli could easily have one, much more likely than all of the bad guys having foreign full auto weapons like FALs and AKs, not to mention the RPG, yes there are small numbers of them legally owned and in circulation, but they are much more rare that the pistol.
P320 didn’t exist yet when this movie was made brother. Not to mention the Glock 17, legitimately the most common pistol in the entire world (along with 1911s) carries 17 rounds and it’s literally in the name and he still somehow thought 17 round guns were rare 😅 then end of the same quote where he doesn’t understand automatic vs semi-automatic i was pretty much done with the video. Eli carries an hk 45 which doesn’t hold 17 but still the narrator would have been fine if he just said it was 17 shots and didn’t expose how little he knows about guns
@Grimm Reaper yeah that was what I said
When you showed the real size of a Braille Bible I really did bust out laughing. That was perfect 😇
Honestly I'd never imagined it needing to be that big. Yea sure there's some spacing requirements but damn. The thing is, not all bibles are the same sizes. It's dependent on the font, type/size and line spacing. Some bibles are huge and some are the size of your palms.
How's this for a back story:
Asteroids were headed toward earth, so the US govt spent billions developing a plan to shoot nukes at the asteroids to break them up to minimize destruction. They commissioned new nuclear warheads for just this purpose and put them atop enormous rockets. Of course they waited until the last second to launch because what's an apocalypse without a little suspense?! They launch the rockets, the warheads head directly for their target and impact perfectly. However, due to the law of unintended consequences, a chinese man had an argument with his wife over the chicken she made for supper, 2 years prior. Due to the argument, he was distracted and didn't do his job properly that day...of all days to screw up at work! As it turns out, that very day....that VERY circuit he was working on....ended up inside the detonator of the nuke that was launched into space, targeting the largest asteroid in the middle of the cloud of asteroids - the purpose of doing such was to break up the largest one and pepper the smaller ones with the pieces and throw them off their trajectory. The worst part is, the company that made the warhead (with the bad circuit inside) wasn't supposed to use any foreign parts - and they didn't! However, one guy on the line in the US ALSO had an argument with HIS wife the day he was working on a circuit for the detonator!! And guess what? It was over CHICKEN, TOO!! So he screwed up the highly sensitive part, but knew he had done so! So what did he do? He took a relay out of his car that, unbeknownst to him, was the one made by the chinese guy with a faulty circuit!! He took it apart and used the pieces to remake the circuit he messed up! So fast-forward to the launch and later impact of the warhead.....due to the bad circuit, the warhead failed to detonate. However, the impact was just enough to change the trajectory of the asteroid just thiiiiiiis much.... that now had unexploded ordinance onboard. The warhead-toting asteroid is now on a collision course with Russia. The asteroid impacts just outside moscow and, due to the immense pressure and heat of impact, the plutonium explodes. Russian soldiers far away (because govts are paranoid and don't tell the "peons" anything) only see a streak of light followed by an atomic mushroom cloud over Moscow. They think the US has just launched a first strike, so they launch in "retaliation" and in doing so start a REAL nuclear holocaust...ON TOP OF A METEOR SHOWER!! A few months later, denzel crawls out from his bunker and the rest is history.
So, the moral of the story is, ladies.....don't mess with a man's chicken!!! You gonna kill us all!
Tbh I'd actually pay to watch that as a movie
Lol great job!!!!!
Holy shit bud, talk about an underrated comment
Douglas Adams would be proud of this comment. I know I am. Bravo!

Actually there are plenty of firearms, although not the big calibers like. 45, have 17 shot in their magazines
.45 ACP is a big handgun round actually, .380, 9MM are small, most .45 ACP firearms, 1911 in particular, hold 8 or less rounds.
@@TheSchmed yes but he was using a HK USP which is .45 acp that holds 17+1
gruntking111 yeah, unfortunately I am from NY, we have a 10 rd mag limit on all firearms, both rifles and handguns, just about every semi auto rifle with a detachable box is classified as an “Assault Weapon”, sux, I hate it, can’t wait to leave this place. So 11+ rds to us is a sight not seen.
hk usp has different caliber choices of which the usp expert has the standard magazine for 9mm with 18 rounds + 1 potential round in the chamber and ha the option for .40 s&w with standard 16 rounds +1 in the chamber
Five seveN hold like 20+1 in the chamber
Ok so it seems like this guy didn't even pay attention through the movie. He was blind before the apocalypse but when he found God he was given the gift of sight to fulfill his mission of creating more bibles. That is why at the end of the film his eyes are clouded.
No. He was blind the whole time. That's the twist. That's literally the entire point of the movie.
And yet another theory I have is that Eli is partially or mostly blind but his sight comes and goes. God gives him temporary sight when he needs it.
@@yalewaller5721 , here you go. Here are literally dozens of places that hint at it. Of course, since it's a TWIST, it doesn't explicitly say it until the end. www.reddit.com/r/movies/comments/1rdyeu/spoilers_every_clue_in_the_book_of_eli_that/?
I LOVE this movie! But certainly isn't without faults 🤷♂️
True
Really? Hated this movie! When he says there is 7% story he is generous.
@@michaxx6868 to each their own 🙂 I loved it. The atmosphere, the styling, the feel, and even the story. I did kind of "fill in the blanks" a bit in my head for some of the plot, but still enjoyed it. That's just me though 🤷♂️

“Busch on line 1, sir!”
Nice, lol.
Fun fact, older people do actually have a discernably different smell than younger people, so yes, you can smell age (just a fun fact, nothing more)
Very underrated movie. Is this the only one with Gary Oldman and Malcolm McDowell?
"A year, you'd die of radiation." It's safe to come out after a 10 kiloton nuclear attack after just 24 hours. The radiation goes down to 1% in that time frame. The most volatile particles have very short half lives.
Actually, it takes 48 hours to go down to 1% but still that doesn't mean that 1% of the original radioactivity is not harmful or even lethal.
Iodine-131 would be the dominant pollutant of the radioactive fallout for the first few months, then strontium-90 and cesium-137 which both have very long half-lives (~30 years).
@@ErebosGR Strontium-90 is also similar enough to calcium to get formed into our bones and cause cancer
@@austincheng642 You mean deposited into bones after entering the body. I know, it has an average biological half-life of 18 years.
@@ErebosGR Yes. I don't see a difference in the meaning. It's deposited into our bones, forming them.
@@ErebosGR I do see how I worded it could be confusing, however.

I've seen this movie about 5 times and never knew he was blind. Makes sense for the book, but not for him looking out windows or during fights.
Or looking people in the eye.
He's not blind
So I never knew he was blind either just kinda figured he knew braille for what ever reason. Maybe a family member was blind or something like that.
I was curious so I looked it up and he was apparently blind before the war or catastrophe and when he heard the voice of God and found the book he regained his sight until his mission was complete. After it was complete he lost it again.
i VERY HIGHLY doubt u watched this money 5 fucking times and never realized hes blind....
Blind is not a 100% absolute. He could be legally blind but still able to see shapes and lights. The vast majority of blind people still have some vision.
My service pistol (Sig P320 X-carry) holds 21 rounds in the magazine, it's common for modern handguns to have high capacity magazines
Evidently Eli regained his sight from God until he found a safe place for the Bible. Then went blind once completing his task.
Or some shizz like that.
Finally someone who gets the movie 🤦🏽♂️ your the first one I found
Zachary Abbott
But the movie dropped clues that he was blind during the task. He didn’t see the dead hanging body. He smelled it and he had to feel around the body to locate the boots (not shown in this video). He was clearly blind the whole time. Another clue is when he says “I walk by faith, not by sight.”
Jevon Dismuke yeah because his mission was completed
@@stevied3400 him kicking the stairs also
definitely some shizz like...
