Review of The Giver (2014) by Lukechristiansc — 02 Mar 2015

Jeff Bridges has tried to make the novel "The Giver" into a film, so this is sort of a passion project for him, but the screenplay and the movie is a whole atrocity. I have read the book it was an astonishing tale of a calm society.

This film misses some of the great details that the book had, they took the main character Jonas (Brenton Thwaites) and turned him into a complete idiot in the book he did not tell anyone about his training or told what he learned such as dancing, the word 'love' or show his skills as a receiver of memory.

But no! screenwriters Michael Mitni, Robert B. Weide turned the best sci-fi of the decade into an atrocity adaptation into a best seller into film.
