The Giver looks f*cking awful.
I don't think this is the first time I've mentioned this, but after seeing it again, I really am quite angry.
Admittedly, I don't know if this is taking anything from the sequels or not, but...
The book is a small, quiet, intimate story about two people connecting and a boy learning about the atrocity that is his culture.
The movie looks like another damned insurrection movie (like we haven't had enough of those already) with a scale far too large and unjustified.
I mean, come on with some of this stuff.
Meryll Streep as a high-up official talking in condescending speech to one of the 'perpetrators'? (WHO WERE NEVER FOUND OUT IN THE BOOK!!!!)
Joanna in some sort of containment?
Jonas and Gabe escaping in a DESERT?!? And being abducted by a bland hovercraft?
God I hate hollywood sometimes...
