Eli succeeded in his mission and eventually died with dignity. Meanwhile, Carnegie took back the stolen Bible to his place. He soon found out that the whole book was written in Braille and all this time, Eli was reading it through this way. He knew nothing about Braille and his blind wife, Claudia, lied to him about not knowing how to read it. In the end, despair and defeat were the only things he was left with. At the end of the movie, it was revealed that the main character, Eli, has some kind of fogginess in his eyes.
It gives the allusion that he was blind all throughout the movie or perhaps he suffered from an eye complication such as cataracts. Some theories tell that he was only partially blind and was still capable of detecting movements, especially in broad daylight. It is still not certain what caused this since it was not noted in the movie.
However, there are some speculations going around. One of them is that the cause of Eli becoming almost blind is the effect of the nuclear war that took place 30 years ago.
As you all know, the aftermath of nuclear bombs and explosions are not to be taken lightly. Post-war effects can range from severe to critical and in some unfortunate instances could even result in death. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also known as CDC, direct exposure to nuclear blasts result in serious injuries and health issues. People who looked directly at the explosion could suffer burns on their retina, temporary blindness, and permanent damage to the eyes.
Some could eventually lose their vision if exposed sufficiently to the blast. With that said, it is safe to assume that Eli may have survived the nuclear war but he did not totally dodge the grave repercussions of the war causing him to be partially blind.
I bet you could get most of the braille alphabet from just the names of the books, which are on every page of each book if you already know the names and order of books. Thirty years is a long time. Helen Keller was reading braille at a younger age than that and she was born blind. He is not totally blind, for the reason that when they go back in the old cannibal couple's house and ask for weapons Eli looks at the window to check the surroundings.
This takes place around minute When he was leaving the house at the beginning, after eating the cat and feeding the mouse, we see his eyes. Then at the end his eyes are obviously white and blind.
He was partially blind, not blind. Due to the 'flash'. There are hints that he had trouble seeing, the use of the glasses throughout shows the light hurt his eyes. But if you watch again with the sole purpose to see if he is completely blind, the movie fails to show this. Eli is blind throughout the whole movie.
How he became blind is up for debate. He is not the last living blind person; Solara's mother tells him that she was born blind. He asks her whether it happened after or during the war, which may give the reason for his blindness. He walks for thirty years because that's how long it takes for him to remember the entire Bible and to understand its message, which he tells Solara toward the end.
If you notice, throughout the movie, he uses his senses a lot except for the sense of sight. Everyone wears glasses because of the glare, not just him. He tells Solara that the message is to treat others better than yourself. This message rings loud and true at the end when the villain tries to get Solara's mother to read the book.
She tells him that she's forgotten how, which is not true. He treated her so badly, why should she do this for him? Eli was blind before the war and after finding the bible and hearing God's voice he regained his sight until his task was completed finding a safe place for the bible This is why he did things a blind man would do and could read braille and also why is eyes were normal at the start of the film and clouded and the end.
God gave him guidance and protection and the gift of sight. Sign up to join this community. Answer: Most likely, Redridge is giving Solara a chance to escape Carnegie 's regime. At this point, he knows he's dying, but perhaps still wants the best for her.
Remember, he had a crush on her the whole movie blocking her while she was getting Eli 's canteen filled, bargaining with Carnegie for her before chasing after them, even asking Eli nicely to give up the book after the gunfight in the house.
I think it may also have been used as a self-redemption moment for one of the bad guys. Answer: Due to Eli 's previous protections from harm, Redridge is already wondering if there isn't a higher power protecting Eli. When Redridge is impaled and realises he's in his last moments of life, he kneels, looks to heaven, and gives himself over to that higher power, hoping for redemption.
Question : If he is blind how do you explain the accurate shots with the arrow? Answer: A large study was done after the atomic blasts in Japan in WW2 after the surrender on the effects to victims' eyesight.
Those that survived became very keen to see movement as long as they were in bright light, also heightened since of smell and feeling vibrations. This would explain why Eli never traveled at night and was not totally blinded by a nuclear flash, if he was completely blind - night would give him a much larger advantage.
You notice he always travels when the sun comes up so he can see silhouettes of people and objects moving. Also he wears sunglasses because obviously he does not want his cataracts to get worse. If you watch the movie again there are many tells to support that he is only partially blind and had mild to moderate cataracts. You can also see his eyes on the boat to Alcatraz, showing his cataracts.
He was born blind, at the start he smells the hijackers and moves into the dark to level the playing field. How would he know where the dark is? He was not born blind. He was blinded during armageddon, but after finding the Bible was given his sight back in order to complete the task given to him by God.
Once his task was completed he once again lost his sight. He was given his sight back by God in order to complete the task he was given, only to lose it once again after it was completed. Answer: Believe he is partially blind.
You don't need to be completely blind to need to learn braille. He is not blind. He sees cars coming runs into the house and immediately checks the windows. Answer: He was blind before the flash. That's how he could read braille, and had a braille bible. Remember, he asked Solaris' mother when she lost her sight - she said before the flash.
That's why she also could read braille. He was totally blind. God gave him the ability to do what he did. Answer: I think everyone missed something that is completely obvious. He always reacts. He never starts at first. During the gunfight he never once fired upon someone unless he was shot at first. During the bridge fight, he did not attack anyone until they screamed or were close enough to where he was feeling them.
When he found the body hanging in the closet and he felt it with his hands from head to foot and felt the boots. Same thing with the car with the skeleton. He felt all the way down and realised it did not have boots. Every fight scene and everything he did in this movie was a reaction to somebody else doing something first.
Answer: It's clear from examining his eyes in various shots throughout the film that he is not blind for most of it. He was almost certainly blind before his journey began, then is sight was restored so he could complete the task.
There are several scenes where his eyes can be seen. They are brown and when he talks to people, he looks them in the eye. At the end of the film, his eyes go gray, showing he is blind again. If you disagree, then please present evidence to refute my theory, rather than simply stating an opinion. Do you disagree that his eyes are brown throughout the film, then go gray at the end?
Do you disagree that he looks people directly in the eye? Do you disagree that he is able to aim and shoot at distances a blind person wouldn't be able to? The idea is that he was blind to begin with. The fact they didn't show his eyes grey is that it would reveal that fact and make the movie look stupid. The way they approach it is the surprise at the end that it turns out he is blind, not that he had gone blind again.
The truth begins to unravel: Eli was never sick, but is actually the son of the devil. Dr-nun Horn begins to recite an exorcism prayer while showering him with holy water. Eli screams, his skin turns red, but then his eyes begin to glow and he comes into his full unholy power.
The devil promised it would be totally chill to give birth to the spawn of Satan, but as Rose notes in the film, the devil always lies. He also burns the entire house down. You could also call it self-defence. Satan impregnated her, and as a result Eli looks like a normal kid on the outside, but also happens to possess horrifying powers like telekinesis and pyrokinesis.
