The Giver is a story about a boy named Jonas who lives in a world where everything is controlled (dress, language, careers). As time goes on, Jonas realizes that he want to be able to choose for himself, and that he doesn’t want to follow the status quo. I would use this book for an ELA classroom. For instruction, students could learn how to identify important literary elements like imagery, symbolism, flashback, and foreshadowing. Students could also discuss differing points of view the story touches on, like education, conformity, and death.… (meer)

The Giver - Il mondo di Jonas
The Giver
USA 2014
GENERE: Dramm. DURATA: 97′ VISIONE CONSIGLIATA: RAG.
CRITICA: 3
REGIA: Phillip Noyce
ATTORI: Meryl Streep, Jeff Bridges, Brenton Thwaites, Alexander Skarsgård, Katie Holmes

In un mondo fuori dal tempo, dove l'umanità ha deciso di eliminare tutte le differenze (compresi i colori) onde evitare ogni tipo di conflitto e passione, l'ordine regna sovrano. L'unico legame con la Storia e il passato è la “Cerimonia dei 12”: un individuo è scelto per le sue doti non comuni come Custode delle Memorie. Quando tocca al giovane Jonas, eccezionalmente intelligente e sensibile, la conoscenza lo porta a voler cambiare le cose. Diventa un pericoloso rivoluzionario da eliminare. Tratto dal romanzo di Lois Lowry, primo capitolo di una quadrilogia, è un racconto di formazione rivolto agli adolescenti, in chiave fantascientifica, molto lontano dalla violenza e dall'azione di Hunger Games, più intellettuale, più di concetto, più apprezzabile – forse – dagli adulti. Il reparto adolescenti lascia un po' a desiderare, meglio decisamente le star: la perfida Streep e l'outsider Bridges. Belle musiche di Marco Beltrami, sui titoli di coda “Ordinary Human” degli OneRepublic.

AUTORE LETTERARIO: Lois Lowry

I have read the book a few years ago and didn't remember much. The film was just OK really - nothing special.

A boy from a future society where no one has emotions gets memories from the past.

For the first two thirds or so it's an okay movie - a little flimsy in the suspension of disbelief department, and lacking in anything to make you care about it, but it has some promising ideas. Once the action gets going, it turns out to have nowhere to go, and the whole thing falls apart. And it bothers me maybe a little too much that people who can't see color dye their clothing.
