I just watched it for the first time. My question is was he blind or did he just know braile?

you must be blind if you havent read the 30 threads on this subjext already
|
|
Yeah, did you notice near the ending in the movie where they zoomed in on Eli's eyes and they were all messed up? Guess not.
|
|
Quoted: Yes, he is blind. anyone who believes otherwise is a dirty commie |
|
But have you read the book: Movie of Eli?
He's sort of blind in that one too. |
|
Yes, he is blind.
Yes, that means he was guided throughout the movie by the Hand of God. Yes, that means that non-believers have a tough time figuring out this movie. Steve |

If he was blind then who taught him braille? Did he learn it by fingering the signs on bathrooms, federal buildings and public libraries? And another thing, who is Eli and why did they write a book about him? Elijah was a prophet but this guy has to walk everywhere. I never saw a camel, a donkey or even a sway-backed mule anywhere in the movie. Also, if he was such a bad a$$ why was he carrying that bow made out of a canoe paddle, a G string from a Fender Stratocaster guitar and shooting arrows that were about as straight as a sidewinder snake's tail! He's got every cool firearm made except Arnold's mini-gun from Terminator 2 and no compound bow? Really, shooting a damn cat? Why not track a mountain lion or a grizzly bear and smack him up alongside the head with that damned big knife of his! Oh, no he's gotta gut shoot a skinny cat like he's some kind of great hunter! Amateur hour, my friends. Amateur hour. Next they'll make a movie called the Book of Fudd and some fool in a red plaid coat, a 30-30 Winchester, a Buck knife and a 2-wheel drive pickup truck with the "Back Off" mudflaps on it is going to scare the crap out of some Zombie horde that wants his Slim Jim's and the 12 pack of Diet Ice Tea he's got in the back. It will star Larry the Cable Guy and that fugly chick on ESPN that talks about NFL like she's a 5 year pro!

Yes, he is blind. Yes, that means he was guided throughout the movie by the Hand of God. God must have been a little shaky during the shootout at the old canibal's home. Even though they were standing less than 50 yards from the bad guys - and shooting hundreds of rounds - they couldn't hit shit! |

Not to mention that this is a Braille Bible. It's huge. I used to have a Braille Book of Genesis and it was like 12x12 and about 6" thick. Just one book. Indeed. THAT was a major plot hole/flaw in the movie. |

He was blind before he found the book He was given the gift of sight at the Book Protection job offer His sight was removed as he was dictating the words to the dude with the beard, the more he spoke, the less vision he had. Not rocket surgery and I am an atheist. |

Click To View Spoiler Stupid movie was stupid
Oh you're crazy. Great flick. On the other hand, Eli was definitely blind. Anyone who doesn't think so is a hydrocephalic. |

Had to kick steps and make clicking noises to find objects. VERY OBVIOUS HE WAS BLIND. What does being an atheist have to do with anything? That's like saying I'm wearing a t shirt right now. ELI WAS A BLIND WARRIOR IN THE BIBLE - WHY IS THIS SO HARD?? |

Quoted: I just watched it for the first time. My question is was he blind or did he just know braile? He was blind, and guided by god. I love that movie. |

Huh I didnt make the connection. But it makes sense, it took him 30 years to walk to San Fransico.

If you watch the movie a second time, while knowing he is blind, you will pick up on a lot of things that you didn't catch the first time around.
Great movie. It is one of my favorites. |

My guess is, the vast and overwhelming majority of the movie going public has never even seen a book in Braille, and would have no clue as to their size. |

If you turn the volume up really loud you can hear him making dolphin noises under his breath as he walks around.

ELI WAS A BLIND WARRIOR IN THE BIBLE - WHY IS THIS SO HARD?? Perhaps he was working on old habits. Also, he may have had sight only when needed like during a fight or shoot out. I have a hard time understanding why it took him 30 years to walk across the US. Maybe I missed something. |

ELI WAS A BLIND WARRIOR IN THE BIBLE - WHY IS THIS SO HARD?? Don't waste your time. In one thread, someone posted a link to an interview with person who wrote the movie, and said Eli was blind... people still argued he wasn't. Frankly, the movie is pointless if Eli isn't blind. And, as others have said, if you watch it a second time... there's clue after clue after clue. It's like The Sixth Sense-watch it a second time, it's obvious Bruce Willis is dead. |
