    Judging from this trailer, here are the differences between the book and the movie:
    1. Jonas isn't 17. He's 12.
    2. The elder isn't power crazy.
    3. Jonas doesn't fall in love with Fiona. (Spoiler Alert: He marries Kira.)
    4. Asher isn't a pilot. He's the director of recreation.
    5. They don't have injections. They have pills.
    6. Where is Gabe?
    7. The Giver's annex is located behind the senior's house, not the edge of a random cliff.
    8. The injections don't take away color. Color isn't given in the first place.
    9. The Receiver of Memory is in charge, not the Elder.
    10. The Elder has only one scene, which is during the Ceremony of the Twelve. She isn't seen entirely throughout the story.
    11. Fiona doesn't agree with Jonas. In fact, she doesn't even know what Jonas is going through.
    12. Jonas doesn't have an intense bicycle ride, nor does he fall from a waterfall.

      May I be honest? Kay thx, I read all the books and to be honest the movie wasn't half bad for once. Like usually the movies make it worse and the books are more better, but if they added a few things like the movie The Giver added that the book didn't, I prefer the movie more. Call me crazy and all that. But that's how my opinion goes

    Idk how I feel about Jonas fighting back and probably a revolution in the town just to give the teens action even the book wasn't a book with action it was a story of a kid discovering his humanity in a town with no color or emotion and in the book Jonas didn't start a revolution or fought back he just left the town with a baby and that's it.

      @SpikedOpinions 10 років тому +14

      Yeah I'm not sure how I feel about that either. I assumed they adapted it because while the book was an amazing allegory in its day, to modern audiences it's something they've seen before, so now they have to spice it up.

    • @BarlowEnter
      @BarlowEnter 10 років тому +11

      Sarah Fisk You made it sound like rebelling and the hero getting a complete victory is suppose to be a newer concept than the other. Which is the hero barely survive and escape, and the town is left alone, letting the viewers admire that little world. The original ending is more interesting in my opinion. We have enough films with those fairytale, bright and clear cut ending that satisfy mainstream audience's boring mind. I Am Legend didn't get to have its original ending either. (it barely resemble the original story, sadly.) And the original story is truly a classic. Looking at the film adaptation, which is just an action flick that served as a quick grab at the box office. The film isn't worth revisiting at all.

    I watched The Giver last night, and I still can't explain the emotions I felt while grasping its depth. I had no idea about the story of this movie since I haven't read the book, but it turned out to be unexpectedly brilliant! The actors, especially Meryl Streep, were so effective. The cinematography was amazing! I loved the idea that the film moved slowly from glossy black-and-white into muted and then saturated color - I don't wanna give spoilers - but it made the film mind-blowing! In addition, I loved the soundtrack, OneRepublic's Ordinary Human. Overall, the movie was visually stunning and orgasmic. A must-watch!!! I am looking forward to see the three sequels in the future.

Just understand that the emphasis has been...shifted slightly.

  • @Raphael-the-Writer
    @Raphael-the-Writer 8 років тому +11

    I remember when I read the book I was stunned, never read anything so powerful and unique until then. That was over a decade ago. I don't remember a lot in the book, so when I saw the movie I didn't know whether it changed drastically or I just didn't remember everything that seemed radically different. I will say this: yes, it changed Jonas' age and some of the film feels a little like teen-action movies; but the captioning of the atmosphere, the philosophy, the exploration of emotions and ideas are quite good for a modern Hollywood-like movie adaptation, and the actors are great (especially Jeff Bridges who portrays "The Giver" amazingly). So while it is perhaps a bit "easier to swallow" than the book, it has the book's most precious quality: depth.

This film made me cry n like the characters I only noticed after the tear was trailing my cheek! Not sure why I cried but just sadness of emotion over took me n it was beautiful!

As with most movies stemming from books they changed things to add to the suspense of the movie. It was basically the same story line. The only problem I had was the ending, I really cannot stand an unfinished ending, I would have liked for Jonas and Gabe to make it back home.

    This movie has got to be the most underrated movie ever. I don't get why people are giving it so much hate. Yes, there are changes from the book, but the story itself is unaltered. Pills vs injections - who cares? 12yr old vs 18yr old - who cares? The changes made sense for a movie adaptation. The cinematography with the memory sequences and their stark contrast to the dull community was done superbly. I'm not saying the movie was better than the book, which I loved, but I believe it adds more depth to the book.

  • @alveemazmaeen
    @alveemazmaeen 10 років тому +17

    You know, I had my doubts, but it ended up being pretty good. Strange choice to make the entire movie less than 3 minutes, but they did manage to go through the entire plot and keep in pretty much all the relevant twists in that time so who am I to complain. And releasing it free on youtube, what an idea! Wonder if they'll make the sequel.

  • @giazella1832
    @giazella1832 10 років тому +4

    OMG i've watched the first trailer a couple of months back and I remembered perfectly how there were many comments questioning that why isn't it in black and white before Jonas knew what colours were. And i'm so happy to see the second trailer was 100 times so much more better than the first one.
    I also saw some significant differences from the book itself, aside from Jonas being a couple of years older in the movie, I did not remember Asher being the one who's hunting Jonas down? I don't know if it's purpose to make the movie more interesting and all but we'll see!
    And for those who are saying that this trailer reminds you of Divergent, they are nothing alike. READ THE BOOK. It's a children's classic. Even though it's kind of a post-apocalypse/dystopian themed story, The Giver is a great book to start reading at a young age to expand our perspective on how we see life :)

That is what is wrong with people today, they bash on these movies that were based on a book and its not really exactly how the book went, but give me a break, you really cant say this wasn't a good movie. If this movie had a different title and there never was a book everyone would be saying how amazing the movie was and how they loved it, but all because its based on a book and is not 100% the same as the book people don't like it. smh

    • @Nobodysbby
      @Nobodysbby 9 років тому +13

      The reason why people like me are upset is because we waited over 15 years for someone to finally create this movie & they put it in color.. The book is 100% black in white besides bits & pieces.. Then they tried to "fix it" by adding the black & white after which you can tell it is just a filter so instead of just making it in black & white they just added a filter to it last minute... It was one of those books you could read over & over & is loved by many.. We wanted to see the book version before it was twisted & changed into an action/futuristic movie.. Don't judge people for being disappointed.. It was a simple/powerful book & it did not have all this action/elders being involved/color that they added... They basically changed it completely.. It takes away from the main idea...

    • @minahrichardson2142
      @minahrichardson2142 9 років тому +6

      People who read books then watch the movies are rather disappointed because most movies don't capture the essence of a book. It doesn't give you the same emotion, feeling, and connection when you watch it versus when you read it. They try to make a short and sweet cookie cutter version of books and flip it and change it and put whatever spins on it to make it more "Hollywood" appropriate but I never really get angry about it. I really just don't have high expectations of movie adaptations of books. That way when its fairly close to the book, I would be surprised that it is versus utterly disappointed. The beauty of a reader is that you feel and imagine everything the way you see it. No one would ever satisfy that visual besides me. No I really don't even hype myself up.

    This book had the quality to make an oscar worthy film.. To bad they messed up and added action to it

      Yeah, it did. The first thing they did wrong was cast Jeff Bridges

      they also seem to mess around with the colour too much, switching back and forth, but maybe it all makes sense...

      That was one of the things they did right Jeff bridges is one of the most talented actors ever

    Another trailer with the Requiem for a Dream music. Thank you, Clint Mansell, for creating such an epic theme. They use it over and over.

    I've just finished the book and I thought it was a very Beautiful story. This trailer makes the story look like a sci-fi /futurist/action movie (which i think was NOT the Point of the book at all) we'll see how it turns out....

    In the book Jonas is 12 so why does he look 17

    Okay so I read the book with my reading class and a few days later we watched the movie. It was basically learning a new plot and new story considering the book is completely different in almost every way!

    I liked the book a lot better than the movie. I thought the book had a lot more detail to it and it was more understandable. But the thing I like about this movie is the climax.

    the movie and book were drastically different from one another (I have watched and read both) but for me personally I enjoyed both very much just in different ways , I liked how each gave you a different vibe and perspective on their world and this story

      but then they are two completely different stories, and then its copyright technicalities

      I agree Haley - you’re one hundred percent right - I thought Jonas and Fiona, but especially Jonas were the best actors - followed by Streep and bridges

    it basically gave away the big plot points/twists from the books that were one of the reasons i love the book

    This is my favourite book in the world, and I know there are many differences between the book and the movie. Yet, I've seen the movie twice in the cinema last year and I'm just downloading to see it again. I tell people that's the best movie I've seen in 2014 (even better than Mockingjay Pt 1, that I was super excited to see).
    I feel like the essence of the movie - the power of choice and their consequences, fredom and what it really means, the and political discussion were kept intact even with all the changes. That's what really matters.
