I liked the movie because it at least showed the importance of the Bible to mankind. Of course there was nothing "Biblical" about the movie, but you takes what you can get. I think it explains to the pagan unwashed what a Prophet was about. They just heard from God and did what He said. The girl was astounded that Eli would dedicate his life to a "voice" in his head and follow it without fear for 30+ years. It also explains how God will have His way even using a blind man to accomplish what other men would never be able to do. I thought the street battle where Eli was shooting people on the roof with a pistol from 50 yards away was quite a feat for a blind man. Sorta "ninja" like. "Be the bullet", don't ya know.

The only question I had after the movie is "Why not shoot movies straight from the actual written Word"? Passion of the Christ did pretty good. The Ten Commandments also. DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons type movies just confuse people that have never read the Bible. I'm sure there are several movies in Revelations that would be scarier than The Omen and other rip offs about the end times.

In the Eli movie, you have to wonder where Jesus was in the 1000 year Reign of Christ. Was Eli a Christian that wasn't Raptured? Lots of stuff missing in the movie. Just serves to confuse the lost. If you get your religion from the Discovery Channel, I guess it fits.

My worthless Brother-in-law (If you know him he probably owes you money)actually believes there is something to this “DaVinci Code”. He also knows more about religion than anyone even though he never reads the Bible. If you don’t believe it just ask him! ;-) His bible is the History, Discover and NGO TV channels.
