That’s because Tom waits is amazing

I was just thinking how believable these two characters were, fantastic acting by both men they really played off each other well.

You are sharp. That was super subtle and a person would have to be listening to hear it.

Mr Heavy why do you seek to harm others with your poisonous words? It may be funny to you but sarcasm like that hurts. Be aware that your words and yes, even texts, have consequences to them.

And it went over so many ppls heads too lol

Although he doesn’t trust him

​@@joedanson824 there's certain levels of trust, you trust the shopkeeper to do what you payed him to do but you're also not stupid enough to take him fully at his word

I know it's been a while since you last commented, but the reason he's asking for toys, chapstick, and the like is to gain attention by the dude that runs the town. He pampered his 'wife' with extravagances, which is why such things would be highly valued in that town. In the next town over, I doubt chapstick would be so important.

47midnight you know things are bad when people offer cat-oil as an alternative to chapstick.

The fact that "cat oil" was a regularly traded commodity in this universe ... lmao.

You ever tried cat oil? That shit will keep your lips moist for hours!

If you think about the incredibly dry and inhospitable terrain they live in, I could see how chapstick would be pretty desirable. The blistex factory was probably raided long ago though lol. Not much chapstick left.

W CD 🥑

Or when he said "Take your finger is off the trigger", and it already was. The shopkeeper looked confused for a moment, and looked down to examine if it really was off the trigger. Which it was.

Troma no thats not true he read the book and remoriesed the entire thing

the book was in brail, at the end of the movie it shows that eli is in fact blind.

So many hints guys ... like when waits names the brand name of the battery Eli goes "is it ?"

infernocanuck he actually had his finger on the trigger he even acknowledges it by giving Eli a nod.

True

dathorus1 Of course it is. It’s a little bit of a Christian movie, and Hollywood doesn’t promote Christian movies much. Sad but true.

Indeed. I wish they would expand on this movies universe.

A Boy and his Dog as well.

-The Road -A boy and his Dog What else..

I legit thought I was watching a preview for a Fallout movie when the trailer first came out with the broken overpass.

I know im commenting on an old comment but, a wandering Eli in Fallout easter egg/side quest would be amazing. For FO3 or NV, cos FO4 is already bright and 'nicer'.

+Fischstix95 I don't get why he's like "oh yea!" and pulls out little kfc packets lol

+James Lawson Given Eli collects those wetnaps for bathing, he probably knows more than anyone how uncommon they are, therefore good for trading. The trader seems nostalgic as he handed over them, and "yeah"ing over satisfaction of the transaction.

+Fischstix95 ... I get that they're rare and good for bathing I just don't see how they fell into the "toy/playing" department.

James Lawson They didn't, the trader was asking for things he was looking to buy, but Eli surprised him with items he didn't even know he wanted, perhaps even forgot.

Ah, well that would explain the sudden "oh" before pulling them out, abruptly changing the subject. I see now.

This was a good line too: "Cursed be the ground for our sake. Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for us. For out of the ground we were taken, for the dust we are... and to the dust we shall return." Say that if anyone challenges you to a fight.

@@DexterHaven 😂

We threw away things people kill each other for now.

J D we didn’t realize what was precious and what wasn’t precious

Yeah love that too

😏

Its not that he doesn't trust him, he doesn't trust the whomever might be at the bar

+Fischstix95 I wish there were more movies like this. Maybe they'll make a Fallout movie one day lol.

WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS THIS? So, are you saying "Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome's" barter town was bullchit? lol YOU DON"T THINK I KNOW THE LAW?

Fischstix95 this is pre fallout in the post apocalypse clean water is like gold so before caps were introduced as the go to currency they would exchange bottles of water then they started to use just the caps to trade with because they could carry more money on them so you could see this as a prequel to the first fallout game

it really is the worst kind of economy. thats why countries that still have large areas that primarily do their trading in this manner never really develop. nobody can really argue on prices, and the price for anything you need is set by the people who have it. if they want an entire cow for a single seasons worth of seeds, or one of your children for their soldiers, well you really dont have any choice in the matter. you might be able to get them to go up to 2 seasons of seeds, but they want what they want for it.

@@thechaopower No hopefully they never make a fallout movie ever. They would ruin it and fuck up the stories even more than the new games are doing. I mean if they had to do anything a series would work better but even then I have no faith in video games being turned to movies or series. Better let them make good post apocalyptic movies like this and mad max.

SonicShot55 no bullshit; that's normal in my neighborhood,

don Reeves O.o

don Reeves where the hell do you live brother

@@shapes9495 in his imagination

1:00 good also

"Happy are those who believe without seeing."

If this was in the same universe of Interstellar, they would be dead by now

No.

Korakaris one could almost say he's" surgical" with the shotgun

What if it will trigger the nerves to pull the trigger faster than Denzel can make a move to take the shotgun from you? Some people will pull triggers faster than you can blink in 1 sec

Korakaris my ni@@a

"I'M THE MAN UP IN THIS PIECE!"

A pistol either, per 'The Equalizer'..

I have some of his albums frankly I think he's as good or not better than Lennard cohen.

That's awesome! Did not notice.

I agree. But there is a chance he has shadow blindness he can see shapes depends on the light..

He was blind before the apocalypse, hence how he could already read brail.

^^this guy knows whats up

WHATTT IVE SEEN THIS MOVIE SO MANY TIMES AND I NEVER KNEW HE WAS A BLIND CHARACTER LOL WTFFFFFFFF

@Conman89 I like to think he was blinded by the bombs temporarily, and his other senses heightened because of it. But he slowly regained his sight. Makes more sense to me that way. Or something similar.

Unfortunately it's human behavior...but we can overcome it.

😐 échale ganas es presea para que me

Tom Waits played Buck Merrill in the Outsiders & he was also in Rumble Fish.

Except no one will be able to watch it unfortunately

Definitely imminent now . ….

What its actually mean? I dont quite get it

@@MYPERWIRA It has a double meaning. "I don't play," as in Eli doesn't really look for stuff to entertain himself with, and "I don't play" as one might say today to indicate that they are generally a serious, all business person, who does as they say. Eli is one such person, and living before the bombs may be familiar with the phrase in a way those around him are not.

Or, the misogynistic nut bars.

The S team

Are you serious?

+BlueSkullX yeah he is, Shaq was awesome in this. great actor

Yeah, Shaq played the lighter.

ROFL

fun fact: just as a goof imdb didnt credit shaquille o'neal for playing this role, thats why some of you might be confused and/or disorientated

Very good points, because there are moments where it just seems very unbelievable that he is completely blind in some of his actions.

The great post apocalyptic movies-book of Eli the road warrior series the road the postman a boy and his dog Fahrenheit 451 thx 1138 planet of the apes series apocalypse logans run. Just to name a few.

It's a wonder that Solara and other younger people weren't mutants of some sort by the lingering fallout ash or any children at all.

I was wondering why he was pressing the buttons on the iPod when it clearly said low battery. Or when he touch the boots of the guy who hanged himself instead of looking at them. He has great since of smell and hearing because that is what he used to survived he smelled and heard things others couldn’t. It makes perfect sense. Then the whole thing with I walk to faith not by sight. This was for sure a great movie.

@@pammduran924 , when you walk into a store to get his battery charged , he grabbed the gun , then he hands it back , then he says take your fingers off the trigger , his eyes were damaged in the blast but he isn't blind , how did he know walking into town which store he could get his battery charged in the first place ? He then went to the bar and killed everyone , how did he know not to go in there instead of the store When he is in the room locked up and Jennifer Beals is coming to see him , he looks at her and sees that she is blind , When he is walking down the road and the road forks right and left , he stops , then decided to go , Was the road making a sound and told him which way to go ? He wasn't blind , his Eyes were damaged in the blast 30 years ago but he could still see , As they walked out back of the house and seen all the graves where the husband and wife were killing and eating people , he seen the graves , Reality is for people who can't face drugs - Tom Waits The battery charger store clerk

@@jimthomas777 he didn’t see the grave he was told about them I was also questioning that and went back to check. The gun is just a guess I think and sounds of mobility. The story is how he was able to do that and stay alive tho he was blind because supposedly he was guided by god and faith the whole time and that voice in he’s head. He was never looking at solaras mom he was just surprised and looked towards she was by hearing her voice. He was blind for sure but the point of the movie was for us the viewers to not notice this until the end.

@@pammduran924 , he was sure good with that bow for being a blind man , He killed a Cat , a bird and shot a man in the balls with it , I sure want to take him hunting with me , I can only shoot an egg at 80 feet with mine . Are you related to Duran Duran the musical group or Duran Duran the guy in the movie with Jane Fonda ?

Crazy how that happens. I get stuff like that all the time that pops up on KZfaq a day or 2 later.

The shakes are a byproduct of long-term cannibalism, he is checking to see if he is a member of one of the cannibal gangs from outside the town.

@Eric DeVries I am not a liberal, I am an opportunist!

Another theory 👍

Victor Martin cataracts dude, he is on way to blindness. But can see somewhat.

@@emperorconstantine1.361 The directors description of the character is that Eli had been blind, then when he finds the bible, he is miraculously given sight in order to complete his mission of delivering the bible. As he nears completion of the mission he slowly loses his sight again.

Victor Martin ...well how about that. Guess I still can learn new things everyday.

@@emperorconstantine1.361 cool huh . Eli is such a great character !!!
