"The Book of Eli" is the newest Hollywood film to delve into the apocalypse--or more accurately the supposed aftermath (post-apocalyptic). The concept, and I am attempting to recite this from memory, is that a man named Eli (Denzel Washington) has the last Bible, a book that can "redeem" mankind with its "good moral teachings" or something equally ridiculous, and an "opportunistic [and I might add psychopathic] preacher" who wants it for himself.
Eli is far from a peaceful Christian man, given that the trailer showcases his impressive arsenal and his use of it on his fellow men. The man who plays Eli is also far from a peaceful Christian man. Denzel Washington, when talking about one of his movie roles, talked about letting the "spirits" possess him to help him act better. He said something along the lines of that he couldn’t have done it without them if I remember correctly. Oprah, who has people summon "clusters of highly evolved beings" (aka legions of demons) on her radio shows, also has stated that she "empties" herself to let "the spirits" possess her for her shows and movies. Gary Oldman, the “opportunistic preacher” has played a role I’d rather not mention committing unspeakable acts of evil in one of his movies (You’ll regret it if you try to find out what. You’ve been warned).
This movie, and the actors in said movie, are devoid of morality and are evil. But I doubt any of it holds a candle to the next movie I’ll mention: Legion. I’ll let the below video [just click the link] from Good Fight Ministries speak for itself.
