Who's Ezra Pound? It sounds like the dude that would make you his b*tch in prison.

This movie is absolutely amazing and Denzel Washington is spectacular in it. I loved it and am without a doubt buying it on DVD when it comes out.

Enter the Spoilers at your own Risk!!!

Pro: F**KING SICK MOVIE!!!!! Def part of my top 10... In honor of Road Warrior that had to take a scene from the movie and they did,
Spoiler
the part in the beginning where he watched the guy get killed by raiders and the girl get raped
Also there were alot of parts that reminded me of Hokuto no Ken and Fallout 3 (being that there wasteland themed isn't one of them).
Spoiler
What happened to the bad guy at the end couldn't of been better... I love how the Eli was blind it makes it feel more divine... Also how at the end the bad guy was turned into the blind one cuz he couldn't read the book
They couldn't of chosen better actors for the leading rolls... I loved the symbolism and the cinematography. I'm still pumped up to see it a 2nd time!!!

Neutral (leaning toward Pro): Still so far every Wasteland storyline I've seen is always black vs. white where someone wants to rule the wastes and the hero is a lone anti-hero refusing to be the hero when you know he has the potential to be the savior of the waste

Con:
Spoiler
What happen to Eli at the end of the movie was weak they could of done something more creative
Other than that I have no cons

didn't those guys at the end of the movie reminded you of the brotherhood of steel, especially the scribes???

Speaking of Fallout, if you see the movie again or the first time look for the part where the bad guy is playing chess you can see some of the chess pieces are bottle caps... also when eli walks into the house in the beginning you hear him kicking around empty glass bottles and it happens all the time when you walk around houses in fallout 3 plus it had the same sound effect during that part

The thing at the end reminded me of Rivet City with the boat and all.

nah i felt it was more like the citadel for me lol... Wait I remember seeing Rivet City far off into the background. Yo the engineer used lockpick skills

I saw one guy with a mohawk and one guy wearing football armor. I wish they should more guys like that... I don't know about you guys but before the movie they had a Mel Gibson trailer lol

Ugh, my mom wants to see this just because the title and I share a name.

Now I have to tell her everyone loves it. Dammit. ><

I didn't see the movie being religious at all.... All they were doing was making an example of how powerful the book can be....
Spoiler
The point they were getting across was that if the book got into the hands of a strong minded leader like Carnegie (Oldman) he can us the book's words to being hope/faith to the weak minded people (what is religion? (don't post the answer)). If your a leader that can bring hope to the hopeless then people will follow you. It's just that Carnegie was a evil man so Eli didn't see him fit to us it's power. The point of the Girl in some parts were to show what hope/faith can do to a person during an era such as this....
Think of the wasteland, think about how it would be, put your self into that world then you'll understand... The wasteland is a world without hope, there is only fear, the average man has the mind set of a man from the stone age, only the strong survive, anarchy rules the wastes, some seek power, and etc..... A good wasteland storyline is the anime Hokuto no Ken trust me you'll understand the movie more if you watch this anime

Spoiler
So what if he is a 55 year old f**king guys up its only a movie... plus Eli is suppose to represent divine hope
