This is one of those movies where it’s actually fun watching a second time because you can now spot all the clues he was blind after the first viewing.

When you rewatch this movie, Eli actually has a lot of physical mannerisms that give away his condition.

Denzel backing under the bridge, into the shadow, holding a machete across his chest is pretty much my favourite shot of anything, lol.

Until they mentioned how loud it was in the beginning it never occurred to me that it was the first clue

The scene where Eli is in the house and bumps into the table is a tiny tiny hint that he is blind.

There's a reason that sound is so important in this movie. 😎

I love how this movie is so subtle with its foreshadowing about Eli's blindness. It's only upon rewatch that you notice the body language and how he fights, in particular the gun fight he gets into when Carnegie finds out about the book. He doesn't shoot anyone until they shoot first.

I love how Eli is truly a modern biblical character. Dudes been walking for 30 years after hearing a voice that told him to take a book west. They really channeled him into this Moses type character.
