The Book of Eli, Not Just an Ordinary book, it something...

This is quite an exciting action pack movie, featuring an extraodinary martial arts skill and gangsterism kind of movie,...but not the usual scenario and plot...awesome...one man mission to spread the good news of the Holy Bible to the people. There is still hope if you believe and have faith to the almighty.
The movie tells you that knowledge is power even though everything else is ruin. Having the right knowledge does make you different from others and it can some how help you to stay calm, think, make good judgment, rationalize and perhaps have some kind of control of others around you.

In this movie, books are the only available, reliable medium to gather or acquire knowledge and one will do whatever it takes to protect the books or try to get it from others even to the extend of killing.
The so called high technology medium to store information failed, technology is of no use if everything else is ruin.
Simplicity is still the best.
