Starring: Jeff Bridges, Meryl
Streep, Brenton Thwaites, Katie Holmes, Taylor Swift
Directed by: Phillip Noyce
BLURB: The Giver centers on Jonas
(Brenton Thwaites), a young man who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless,
world of conformity and contentment. Yet as he begins to spend time with The
Giver (Jeff Bridges), who is the sole keeper of all the community's memories,
Jonas quickly begins to discover the dark and deadly truths of his community's
secret past. With this new-found power of knowledge, he realizes that the stakes
are higher than imagined a matter of life and death for himself and those he
loves most. At extreme odds, Jonas knows that he must escape their world to
protect them all a challenge that no one has ever succeeded at before. The
Giver is based on Lois Lowry's beloved young adult novel of the same name,
which was the winner of the 1994 Newbery Medal.
REVIEW: Wow
where to begin on this one. First off I loved it!!! Really can't stress that enough. I’ve watched it twice now
already in fact since I first gave it a try this week. The Giver is based on the multi-award winning novel of the
same name by Lois Lowry that was first published in 1993. (I have never read it
before but I definitely will be doing so after seeing the movie.)
It’s the story of a society that at first
appears to be a sort of Utopia where all people get along and live in harmony and peace after what is referred to as the Ruin. Everyone embraces the doctrine
of sameness from the way that they speak, to what they wear, and eat, and no one
sees color (literally and figuratively). There is no war, starvation, hate, no
divisiveness, no death and it all seems hunky dory at first glance. However
when the surface is scratched this perfect little world is shown for the
nightmare it really is.
The surface gets rippled first when Jonas a teenage boy
embarks on his journey to manhood at his “graduation” where he and all teens of around 17-18 are
assigned their careers that are chosen for them by the elders (who have watched them all their lives). Several other
ceremonies marking other milestones within the community take place at the same time
of graduation … (these are the ones shown in the movie I understand there were
more in the book) - The babies who have reached age one are assigned to their
family units. Children who have reached the age of nine are given a bicycle to
mark their growing independence and elevated status within the community,
and the elderly are released to move to “Elsewhere” (what is assumed to be a beautiful and restful place for them to live the rest of their lives). When Jonas receives his
chosen profession it is vastly different than all the other graduates as he has
been selected to become a Keeper of Memory. It is a very important job and
title given only to a very select few who encompass 4 vital attributes – courage, integrity,
intelligence, and “a capacity to see beyond”.
Jonas’s mentor who is to teach him everything he needs to
know as "The Receiver of Memory" is called “The Giver” who is played brilliantly by Jeff
Bridges. Jonas learns that he is to be very different than everyone else in the
community. He will live by a different set of rules than everyone else must strictly adhere to. He is allowed to ask any questions, he is allowed to lie where no one else is, but he must also never discuss what he sees in his training to others. He will literally be “receiving” all the memories from the past so as
to be able to guide and advise others in the present he is told by The Giver.
However Jonas learns very quickly in his training that there is so much that the community no longer has that they did in the past including…different climates (there is no snow or bad weather anymore due to
climate control), there are no animals, people do not have feelings and emotions, (these are all being
suppressed by daily injections that they are all told is to keep them healthy
and that they must take), there is no music, and he learns for the first time about color and the lack of it in their world.
Through the images and knowledge that Jonas receives from the Giver he begins to realize that so
much is missing from the world they have created within the community… things like fun,
individuality, religion, different races and cultures, freedom, and most importantly real truth, affection, and love.
I won’t ruin the movie or the book for you by saying much more on what happens from there but I will say
that what Jonas learns is that he is far from living in a perfect world. He is
living in a world devoid of the most precious things of a person’s existence –
freedom, truth, and love. Jonas then is set on a path to reveal the truth of what
all is being stolen from every person as well as to save the lives of
thousands!
I personally think that everyone should see this wonderful film and read the
book as well... as they teach some extremely timely lessons that are much needed in
our own country today! Two of it’s greatest lessons that it shows unequivocally
is that of the importance of Freedom and Love and that Life is precious and
should be valued at every stage of life. It tackles the very weighty evils of
abortion and euthanasia with strong visuals and dialogue and doesn't flinch from the repercussions. It also shows just
how dangerous it can be when people allow themselves to become complacent and subservient and
allow their freedoms to be taken away both willingly and unwillingly as well, even when done in the name of “peace” and supposed “good of all”.
This film is a GIVER of it’s own by making you think about it’s
very timely message and the situations that it depicts...and it is one that
will leave you feeling triumphant at the end.
I was truly shocked that such a pro-freedom and pro-life
movie would come out of Hollywood. Many progressive and liberal people were
attached to this one and they readily drink from the fountain of big government, less freedom, and most especially they usually loath anything even close to
a prolife message. So I was doubly shocked that Meryl Streep (whom I personally
can’t stand and was the main reason that I waited so long to see the film)
would be in such a movie! Especially since she has always been so outspokenly
pro-choice. It made perfect sense to me that she was cast as the villain in this one – and
she fit it perfectly might I add - I think because what she was playing seems to be very
close to her own personal belief system.
The only real problem I had majorly with the movie was the end did seem a bit rushed. I wish that they would have elaborated more at the end on several relationships and other things but that does not detract overall from the films very powerful messages. I was more than happy to have my teenage son watch this one with me and we discussed it in length afterwards and yes he liked it as well!
I could go on and on but the main thing is please DO see this
wonderful film. I loved it and I believe you will too! It’s one about extremely important issues that every American
(and the world over for that matter) from pre-teens to adults should be questioning and thinking about especially in view of the way our country is - and is - heading these days!
No strong language, nudity, or sex. Some violence is depicted in hunting and war imagery but it is not explicit. Much worse is seen daily and nightly on regular TV. The only real reason this one is rated PG-13 is because many of the issues it deals with would go over many under the age of 11 or 12's heads. It is a remarkably clean yet hard hitting movie.
A couple of sweet and very chaste kisses between two of the main characters.

All while pregnant herself! This is disgusting. Read all about it and the other celebs including Gabrielle Union, Natasha Lyonne, and Selenis Leyva who are also going to join in the campaign at the link below.
I use to like Scarlett but now I have no respect for her and will not support her career or movies any longer.

Now these same people almost to the letter would have an absolute fit if you said it was all right to kill a puppy or kitten - just smash it's little skull or give it a shot to stop it's heart. They would say that is cruel! How could anyone even think of doing such a thing? (And they would be right). They would never agree to such a thing for an animal, but they are perfectly fine with people doing the exact same things to babies in the womb. I will never understand that ever. It is beyond ludicrous and downright evil.

All right everyone that knows anything about me knows how I feel about abortion. I hate it completely.
I just want to say one thing in light of all the people throwing hissy fits over companies like Hobby Lobby not wanting to cover abortion causing drugs. If a person believes that abortion is wrong the very LEAST that a person could do would be to respect that belief. And if they own a company and are paying for health insurance they should not be made to pay for abortions or any drug that causes one period!
We supposedly live in the land of the free, but that's only true in many people's minds for as long as you agree with them. If they want something and you won't give it to them - (even if it goes against everything you believe at your very core) then too bad. You are just evil incarnate and should be made to give them what they want anyway...regardless of your rights and your beliefs.
At the VERY least if you are just are bound and determined and nothing is going to stop you from getting an abortion (and God forbid that you do) pay for it yourself! Don't make someone else have to pay for your choice!
I am sick and tired of hearing people whine about Hobby Lobby when they DO offer 16 out of the 20 different forms of birth control!!! People are loosing their minds over them not wanting to pay for the 4 abortion causing drugs! They have rights too!!! So get over yourselves! If you want to kill your child at the very, very least have the common decency and do not ask or expect someone else to pay the bill for it!

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit. How demented can one get!!! GAG This is what Planned Parenthood is all about and how truly morally bankrupt they are...what says I love you more than abortions for Valentine's Day. Just when I think they can't possibly get any more pathetic and downright crazy they go and prove me wrong.
They just can't seem to sink low enough.
I LOVE this song! You want an uplifting song this one will have your heart soaring. I think it would make a great pro-life song! We all need to rise! And also rise back up above the darkness for those who have had abortions or worked in the abortion industry.

Stop and think about this for just a second and you can see what a huge impact this is making on our country. But way beyond that it's just plain evil. God hasten the day when people stand against the murder of innocent blood once again.
