The Giver Movie
- Thread starter KillerZebra
- Start date
I learned awhile back its usually best to not expect a movie based off a book to follow the book closely. What works well in books sometimes doesn't transfer well over to movies so its not uncommon to see large changes in the story
Force to read this one in school, as most who ever read it were made to. And trying to portray
seems to be the last of this remakes intents.
Jeff Bridges, though, so I might see it if it doesn't suck too hard.
the receiving of the ability to have a sex drive, basically

Well yeah this book is in a lot of schools for assigned reading. I was forced to read it too, but I still thought it was a good book.
They should of started the movie in black and white. No one in the village could see color
Idk maybe i am taking it too far on that one lol

I do agree that it's hard to make the movie exactly like the book but it would be cool to see it in black and white.
I read it on my own about a year ago and that's not all he gets :|
also, the other books go into more detail about the society and it makes a lot more sense after you read those.

I've read the Giver a couple of times, amazing book, very well written. Can't wait to see if the film crew can pull it off. I agree with Zebra, never imagined the place like in the trailer, expected more forest and log cabins.
Did you really just ask what the book was? ....
I already decided it isn't going to completely follow the book and I am going to prepare myself for that. It would of been cool if they started it in black and white, and slowly started adding color in the movie. Jonas (the main character and the person you follow) and everyone in the village doesn't see color. If I remember correctly, Jonas starts to see colors one at a time throughout the book. It would be neat if they added those colors to the black and white one at a time.

read it last year. not a bad book. can't really see what book 2, 3 and 4 are about and movie looks neat. I think it'll do alright since many that read the book want to see a movie of it
