1* FridgeBrilliance: Watch the movie again after you find out the twist. Even the first scene becomes more impressive.
2** At first it seems very odd that Eli's journey west has taken up to 30 years. [[spoiler: A blind/ partially sighted person would not find it as easy to navigate even with badass echolocation skills]]
3** [[spoiler: 2nd Corinthians 5:7 - "Walk by faith, not by sight." Taken quite literally here.]]
4* Eli decides not to aid travelers being raped/murdered, justifying it by saying that he had to stay on the path. Since it's heavily implied that he is literally on mission from God, it comes as little surprise that his path takes him through the home base of the murderous gang, punishing them for their crimes, but also chastising Eli for not helping in the first place.
