Review of The Giver (2014) by Kilgore T R — 10 Dec 2014

This movie is so much better than "Divergent" and I can't for the life of me understand why those who proclaim to be knowledgeable about film cannot see its greatness.

This movie does what great movies do:

It makes you feel pain, joy, happiness, sadness... It gives you insight and understanding. It inspires.

I will boldly say that anyone who thinks "Divergent" is a better movie has no understanding of film making or screenwriting. This is a far superior treatment of the concept of a future society where people are told what to do, where people are placed into boxes in which they have no freedom of choice or thought.

This is a CLASSIC and some day even critics - mostly swayed by cultural whims - will come to see that.
