In this trailer from the Book of Eli you see the conflict of religion especially when times are desperate. Religion can bring hope and with hope during times like those comes power. That is why the main character has to protect the book at all times because it is a Bible. This trailer shows the idea of "judgement day" and everyone left on earth can turn to evil or good. Of course those who turn to evil do not want him to spread the word of the lord because then they could lose their power over people.Especially because during bad times people most likely turn to religion for comfort and hope. Without hope people are easily taken advantage of because what do they have to live for? This movie shows the main conflict religion can have in the future because of the hope and power it may bring and the conflicts that arise from it.
Also it shows the struggle for power, and when religion threatens to take away one mans power he will do nothing to stop it. That is why the main character must protect the book because it is the last bible on earth and without it how will anyone know the word of the lord?
