The Giver (2014)
Directed by Philip
Noyce this film based on the novel of the same name stars Brenton
Thwaites, Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep and Odeya Rush. In the future a
boy living in a community that forces conformity is given the task of
receiving memories from the world before.
There is nothing
subtle and little original about this dystopian story and it fits in
with the classic American tradition of the importance of the
individual. Much too briefly the script runs through the usual plot
points and really has little new to offer. Using black and white
mixed with colour provides an interesting flash in the execution but
is not enough to carry this film.
2/5
