THE GIVER MOVIE REVIEW

Ratings:3/5 Review By: Gavin Rasquinha Site: Times Of India (TOI)

A squeaky-clean city is portrayed in flat monochrome (a visual metaphor for a society controlled by a rigid code of rules, where individualism and the questioning of authority are discouraged) and is perched on a hilltop and surrounded entirely by clouds. Conceptually, there are also bits reminiscent of *The Matrix* some Orwellian Big Brother ideology and dashes of *Divergent* in an overall attempt to convey the film’s core message – do we sacrifice pain and pleasure in the quest to attain a ‘perfect’ existence?

The Giver is based on a book. It has a lot to live up to. The story has some strength but it is dated. The plot is thin and develops very slowly. The movie is a visual treat where the use of color to depict the world is done brilliantly. In the end, it is the interaction between the Giver and Jonas that make the film worth watching. In this interaction, you get to reach in deep and feel. The movie takes an already used concept and gives it a new twist. But in our day and age, we need to know the full worth of what it means to be human. Only then we stand a chance at being human.

The climax of The Giver is reached by winding through completely illogical and limp twists. By the time The Giver ends, you can completely relate to why the Elders didn’t want the Communities to have any memory. We’d definitely be happier if we could forget The Giver had been made.
