The desaturated color scheme makes the whole world look as if it were left outside to die, and it was. Marauding punks prey on solitary travelers for water, food and clothing. With all industrial and agricultural sectors in shambles, the fear-market system applies: survival of the meanest. Or, in Eli's case, the purest. He's a good man with a Good Book...

House Speaker Sam Rayburn warned him about it: "Sycophants will stand in the rain a week to see you and will treat you like...
Hang in there, kid. It's going to be a while. Most of the people who get on that Greyhound bus to Los Angeles give up and go home. Sometimes the only reason you get the job is that you're the only one left. I didn't make a living [acting] until I was 35. Tenacity is critical...
