Review of The Giver (2014) by Janessa C — 26 Jun 2016

I loved this movie! The simplicity of it is refreshing! Acting was great and I couldn't help to find an unintentional theme of the dangers of "political correctness." Except in the movie it's called "precision of language.

" I think Christianity is the main thread through the film to be honest. Ending with "O Holy Night" was touching. It does indeed show respect and acknowledge other cultures and religion, but I couldn't help but sense the main character develops his faith through Christ near the end.

That was just my take on it. And looking at the film through that perspective really made me enjoy it more even though that was not what it was intended to convey.
