movie munchies as always You made my day great again and another great movie reaction as usual and keep up the excellent work

Snick

That bible was meant for blind people. He was a blind person the entire movie. There were hints. He used his sense of smell and hearing all the time. There are so many minute details which you pickup while rewatching the movie. One of my favorite Denzel movies is Crimson Tide. It’s one of the best thrillers ever made.

Manospondylus

I'd have preferred Crimson Tide but Book of Eli is good too.

David Collins

Christmas in July!! Or August!! Been hoping we'd get this ever since the "Man on Fire" reaction. Speaking of "Man on Fire", I think Katy still needs to see that one, maybe with Ivy?

Piranther

Denzel Washington was in another good sci-fi movie called Deja Vu. You girls would definitely like it.

Gene Michaels

Katie needs to see his performances in Training Day. She might not recognize him lol

Stefan Williams

The old cannibal couple in the house is played by the same actors who play Dumbledore and the Giant Lady Headmaster in Harry potter

Stephen Matthews

so theres a bunch of context clues throughout the film, and you may have missed it, but the main character Eli is actually blind. watch it again with this knowledge, you'll love it even more.

Hello Munchies! If I knew the equalizer by name, but was never really interrested (so I discover it with you), this one.....PRRRTTT... Never heard of it !! Nada, Quedalle! Really never never heard of! If you say to me "book of Eli" I see the Bible!...(kinade because there's no book of Eli in the canon. The prohet Eli only appear in the books of kings 1 and 2. or is mentionned in the new testament.) SO completly Blind in this one! Denzel wasington is a name very famous. even if i didn't follow the movie. I was like Katie. I know the name but not the face until equalizer (or i didn't realized I saw him before). Anyway Let's GO! For the movie Post-apocalyptic is the word you looked for. But yeah, I also have a Chernobyl's Vibe. but the green colour is making look even more sick. green is the clour of rot, sickness...so this world is sick and we can see just by the image! (already a great compliment for the movie! the image is just gorgeous ! at least in the begining, let's see the rest) It was a cat without hair... clearly not a bear..neither a "teddy bear" (sorry Chi, it was just too funny 😅). "She might be a bad person!" Katie is already having all the reflex since Mad Max 😅 WOW ! the fighting is impresive! To be honest, I wanted him to not "stay on the path" too....But I guess, In a post-apocalyptic settings where anyone and anything can kill you...It was the "best survival" choice...but not the "best human" one. (a Little later...) Ok that's part of his story as character! never mind... Is the leader Gary Oldman?! Yes he is! that's a surprise. And Solara is Mila Kunis. and yes , you saw her in "Ted". The flash?? So It was a nuclear war. Nuclear weapon do a big flask of light when exploding. "It was a beautifull world...with KFC..where you could eat Fried chicken" 🤯🤣🤣Thanks Chi !! never though I'll laugh that much with a movie like that !! "Sigh"....Why does religion is never use for good in post-apocalyptic settings?.... or in most fiction for that matter. Why aren't they just following what the bible said...it will be better for everyone! But even IRL, they don't follow it so...It make badly sense. And Religion have enough Blood on his hand throught history to justify what happened in the movie... 🤣 Why did he used a description of faith from a song...when we have a definition of it in the bible: "Faith is the assured expectation of what is hoped for, the evident demonstration of realities that are not seen." "they're cannibals, that's OK" 🤣 Fair enough. OH !!! The bible is entirely in Braille !!! it's the alphabet for Blind people !! "How can your learn that by heart" Well, the Jesuite were ask to be able to do it. so it's not impossible. "Why king james's?" The king James version is one of the first popular translation of the bible in English instead of Latin. it was asked by the King of England James the first and published in 1611. Today, it's still one of the most famous popular and easy to get one to have with the bible of Jerusalem and the "New world translation of the holy scripture". (yes they are different translation. But the idea is the same. Unless the translator is very bad at his work! 🤣 ) For the conclusion If you allow me Katie: Keep this "romantic" mindset! 😉 You have no idea how much good it can do to you🙂 and it's suiting you well! As I understand it: For Eli, the book is hope and maybe ge saw himself as a new prophet meant to protect the bible. I'm with Katie: "I past so many years reading it and protect it, that I forgot what I learned from it"....🤯 I think... this quote alone should be heard by any religious one. Wow, So deep. You can know the bible (or any religious writting) entitrely but if you don't do what he said, you're just hypocritical. For the rest, You said it all...I'm impressed by the colour, the image. But the message... My GOD !! the message !! As I understand it: Religion (or the isea of "Faith" they have) can be bad in the wrong hand and twisted from his original message. But Faith is also one of the most powerfull things that can make anyone go on in his life. no matter how hard things are, it can let hope still burning in your heart. For me this is the moral of the story! I'm deeply gratefull for making me discovering it. I think, I get slapped in the face by the movie! really thanks !! Have a beautifull day Munchies!!

∗rat on the screen∗ Chi: We can eat the rat! Katie: Eww. Chi: Yummy, yummy. Very delicious. I ate it when I was a kid. But you have to eat clean rat. Rat on the rice field. Katie: ∗akward silence∗ ... aww, he's feeding the rat 🥹 Same planet, different worlds. That gave me a good laugh, girls

That twist at the end was amazing! Also dropping a little fact here: The cannibals hands shake because they suffer from a disease called Kuru Disease, a brain and neurological condition that breaks down the brain over time. It’s caused by eating human brains or spinal columns and the first symptom is shaking limbs. Which is why people check Eli’s hands throughout the movie. Great double reaction today guys!!

Blue

Great reaction, you two! ❤️ I've once heard that a pentagram is not evil on it's own, but it matters where it points - similar to the cross. If the star of the pentagram points up, it means you put the spiritual world above the material. And if it points down, you put the material world above the spiritual. These are the two paths shown in the movie, Eli following the spiritual whilst Carnegie following the material one.

Jeffrey Roberts

And the old guy at the end (John Hurt) was the owner of the wand store in HP. Carnegie and the Engineer are Dracula and Renfield too. I know Katie and Chi love that movie. Not sure if they recognized them here.

King Bob

it's a testament to how good of an actor Gary Oldman is that they never actually recognise him lol

Kris Wustrow

I don't understand why many comments ask for "re-watch" by different Munchies. I get wanting to see a specific girl's reaction...but there are SO MANY other great movies to chose from!

Digitalversager

I simply love this movie. The dense, post-apocalyptic atmosphere created here is fantastic. Denzel Washington plays the stoic lone warrior perfectly, and Gary Oldman is brilliant as the villain, as always. The Book of Eli is often underrated by critics. But the blend of gritty action and deeper philosophical meaning makes it a great movie for me. I think the generally accepted theory is that Eli is blind, or at least severely visually impaired and that God guides and protects him on his journey. Yes, if you pay attention, you notice that Eli relies heavily on his senses of hearing and smell; the fact that he can read Braille is also seen by many as proof of his blindness. But I find that a bit far-fetched. Eli navigates the world far too well to be blind. I do like the religious angle, that God guides him to take the Bible west and grants him a measure of divine protection. However, I don't believe God guides him up and down stairs or tells him where doors and furniture are. As I said, he moves through the world with too much confidence to be blind; besides, it’s entirely possible he learned Braille while he could still see, perhaps to help a relative, for instance. The movie also features many beautiful, surreal shots, and the fight choreography (especially the scene under the bridge) is absolutely impressive. As for why civilization collapsed: to me, it sounds like there was a global nuclear war that severely damaged the ozone layer, which protects Earth from deadly solar rays, allowing unfiltered sunlight to scorch much of the planet and kill a vast number of people. That was a great reaction, ladies, as always.💜

Denzel Washington in: Glory 🫡🤠🥰

Movie Munchies

One day I’m gonna make her eat it! 😂

Movie Munchies

Thank you so much! 😊 Your kind comment brightens our day too! 💙

murph

Wow Im surprised. This is a good movie. I watch again with you , :)

RichieBIV

So real quick... I'm not sure the movie ever tells us exactly what started the apocalypse in this world, but I believe it was nuclear war/nukes. That's what I believe we were seeing at the beginning with the cat — an area where the nuclear fallout was still there. Also, the book did have words, and he was reading it. It was just written in Braille (reading for the blind), and he remembered every word. Eli was blind the whole time — that's what made the reveal so crazy. 😎He made that entire journey without being able to see, trusting his faith to guide him the whole way. I'm assuming he hadn't been blind until those 30 winters 🥶fallout☢️ he spoke of.

BangorsMostBaked

Absolutely amazing movie, my first time watching so was great to watch with you! My mind was blown to find he's actually blind the whole movie, I was confused when Gary Oldman screamed at the book, I assumed it was a blank book and he had tricked him, but it was braille... mind blown! Great reaction ladies!

Nhia Vang

If you girls don't want to watch the action version of Denzel I recommend go watch Remember the Titans 2000. Is one of his best film from when he first started acting.

Chris Kodama

I've only seen this movie once many, many years ago and forgot how good Denzel Washington and Gary Oldman are in it. And it's so enjoyable to watch the reactions of Chi and Katie during the action sequences, I especially enjoy watching Chi's facial expressions during the fight scenes and hearing Katie swear at all the bad characters on the screen. Makes my day. Now going to watch The Equalizer 3 reaction.

CrashTestWalrus

Because the two situations are not mutually exclusive. They upload seven days a week, which could amount up to 9-10 reactions sometimes, and only one of them would be the "rewatch". Where exactly is the problem?

be frank

Remember the Titans is another good Denzel movie

Saints_Madness

This is great movie. Never eat human, it causes prions disease. The protein in the brain doesn't fold right causing you to shake like they did. The name for it is known as Kuru. Like how our politicians took part in, in order to look young. Very dark dark history here in the states. But you cannot cannibalize amongst yourself. Lol whats with this comment Katie. "Its hard to be a woman", Thats why you need a man to protect you. In the bible we are not meant to be alone. Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, "Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken." And, Genesis 2:18, "18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him."

You ladies at Movie Munchies should watch a movie called Dances with Wolves. An Academy Award Winner for BEST PICTURE, Best Director, Best Actor and various other awards. Check it out. You will not be disappointed 👍👍. Thank You for reading my suggestion.

King

You should watch “Fences” starring Denzel. Amazing movie.
