The Book of Eli

I don’t know why I had a feeling of emptiness when I watched this movie. I think there is a contradiction between what I saw in the movie and what the movie wanted to advocate. The movie theme is to save the Bible, which means that what the Bible teaches should never be given up. But the movie showed so much of violence and individual heroism while showing nothing about what the Bible teaches – kindness, compassion, tolerance, forgiveness, the desire to turn forces of evil into forces of good, mutual respect, brotherhood, the desire to help others, the desire to work with others, etc. I wonder why they bothered to make such a movie.
