Or Livro de Eli: or what does it mean?

We found o large plot twist The film when Carnegie finally gets to hit Eli's bible. When I open or release, he despairs or realizes that he is written in braille. Assim, the spectators are faced with an unavoidable question: Was he blind or not?

Some clues will be suggested throughout the film, through details. We pay attention to each other, from the first dinner, or the protagonist seems to use other senses (like audição e o tato) to perform various tasks.

When he manages to fulfill his missão and begins to give a sacred book for a homem who throws notes, the image will approach Eli's face, revealing a névoa nos olhos. We can believe, then, that he was always blind and was being guided by a divine force.

Guided by faith, not by vision.

Outra possibility is for home to be recovered on a temporary basis, to perform a task that was granted by Deus. Not final, after his missão fulfilled, he returns to cegueira. This theory seems to agree with the history of biblical personagem as the same name: Eli, a prophet who lost the ability to see.

O longa-metragem also traces a reflection on the day duality of faith. On the one hand, we assist the way Eli moves and inspires Solara to change seu jeito de viver. On the other hand, religion is also appointed as a potential ameaça, something that would cause a great war and destroyed the ancient world.

By isso, all the bibles were burned in that era. Eli credited his power to her help humanity I wanted it to be released recently. Not the other extreme, at Carnegie's gain it represents those of us who use religious words just like um obter mode control e wealth:
