The Book of Eli
Superbly written and astonishing storytelling!
At first, I thought the Book of Eli is just another ferocious film featuring what life would have been after the judgement day. But beyond the blood-sputtered scenes and vulgar language, viewers will appreciate the simplicity of the story and the complexity and profoundness of its nature and form. The film features a compelling story based on the Christian bible which for me exceeded majority of some motion pictures released in the past years.
Denzel Washington, an Oscar winner and a self -professed Christian, was able to portray his character with so much sincerity and profoundness of depth and emotion. In a world of chaos where violence and desire for survival prevails, Eli was given an important mission by God and that is to bring order out of lawlessness and to save and protect the only hope humanity has– a Bible.
Setting/Cinematography
The film’s setting was on point as it portrays a devastated and distressed earth where only few managed to survive and if given the chance would have chosen to vanish instead just to break free from the chaotic situation. The choice of scenes and places where climatic points were revealed justified the emotional prowess and acuity of the main characters. One of the simplest scenes in the beginning which affected me so much

    Propaganda is information and opinions, especially prejudiced ones that spread to influence the people in favor of or opposing some doctrine or concept. Americans during WWII used this in a wide range of methods that provided a black and white picture of different countries with half-truths or ambiguous information. War took place on the battlefield, the air, on the water, and even below it. However, the battles of World War II cannot be only limited to combat; much of the home front battles during the war took place on the silver screen, posters, and comic books to name a few. These battles did not specifically result in casualties, although some but not all messages would eventually justify the genocide of millions of people.
