The Giver: Movie Analysis

The third main difference between The Giver book and the movie was the Chief Elder's role. In the Giver book, the Chief Elder was not much of an important character, "The initial speech at the Ceremony of Twelve was made by the Chief Elder, the leader of the community who was elected every ten years," (pg. 51 - Lois Lowry). However, the Chief Elder played an important role in the Giver movie. In the book, the Chief spoke in a few chapters during Ceremonies and that was all. The Giver movie's Chief Elder always watched Jonas closely. She started becoming suspicious of Jonas, and so she would warn Jonas' mother and The Giver. She then found out about Jonas' plan to escape. When she did, she ordered Asher to "lose him" (The Giver movie). That meant she wanted Asher to kill Jonas.

Both share the same plot, and there are very little differences between the two. These are a few of the differences that I was able to notice between the book and the movie. There are several others throughout the story, but they are all just as minute and in the end they have no effect on the outcome of the story. Overall, I was very impressed with the movie and it was very true to the book. I have seen my share of movies that were adaptations from books that did not do the book justice, but this one is almost exactly like the book, so it was very

The Giver is both best-selling book by Lois Lowery and a major motion picture. They are both centered on the same storyline and character but also have some major differences. “The movie (and the book) takes place in the confines of “the community,” something that started after “the ruin,” when all memories were erased and everyone became equal.” (Krule, 2014). The book and the movie and the book are very different in many ways such as the plot, characters and concepts. The book and movie are more different than they are similar, although there are a few similarities.

The Giver is an amazing novel and so is the movie. There are some differences between the book and the movie such as a border around the community, Asher and Fiona got different jobs, and The Giver passed memories to Jonas in a different way. There are more differences, but these three are the main differences between the book and the movie.

One difference was that Gitl and Rivka were two different characters in the book, but in the movie, they were just one character. In the book, Gitl was Hannah’s aunt who took care of her after Hannah’s parents died. Another difference was that in the movie, Shmuel and Fayge actually get married, since the rabbi was telling them to rush, but in the book, the two never actually have time to get married before the Nazis take them away in their cars. A third difference was that in the movie, Ariel is the son of the rabbi, the love interest with Hannah, but in the book, Fayge is the daughter of the rabbi, the love interest of Shmuel. A fourth difference was that in the movie, Hannah was an older teen, and more rebellious.

One big difference was when Jonas went to the Givers home in the book he was let in by a woman maybe his secretary but in the movie there was a facial recognition procedure that allow him in. The movie is basically an advanced place filled with drones, 3D transmissions and impressive looking devices of all sorts. In the book it's not as advanced as the movie but it's still pretty impressive. The book The Giver has books in in it and the movie jonas has never saw a book in his life.

The biggest similarity between the book, and the movie is the theme. The theme in both the book, and the

The setting of The Giver takes place in a fictional community known as the “Sameness”. Life here is supposed to be "perfect" because there is no pain or suffering. They don’t have to take

The Giver and The Truman show are similar and different because of biblical allusions. One reason they are alike is they both have god like people in them. In The Giver it is the Giver, on The Truman show is it Christof. A way they are different is in The Giver the apple symbols Adam and Eve. In The Truman show, Truman equals Moses. The last thing how they are alike is they have something to do with Jonah and the whale. In The Giver Jonas sounds like Jonah, in The Truman show there is a storm just like the story.

In The Giver, Jonas’ world is turned upside down when he is chosen to be the next receiver of his community. The ceremony of twelves is the last ceremony of the day. Jonas waited anxiously for his name to be called; he never hears it. The chief elder has made a mistake. Jonas now has to learn that everything he has been taught was not always the same and it ages him years.

One major difference is that in the movie, Jonas’ two close friends, Fiona and Asher, received assignments than in the book. In the novel, Asher was assigned Assistant Director of Recreation, while in the movie, he was a Drone Pilot. Fiona received the assignment of

You are about to experience a brief compare and contrast paper between reality and a fantasy. In which our world is no long a mass chaos but everyone is equal to each other. I am going to compare the book to the movie. Many things are different and most are the same, but i'm going to point of the differences today between the movie and the book.

Another element the movie changes was removing some themes such as government surveillance. Both forms of The Giver show some limited exposure to the fact the government spies on the Community. However, in the book, small details like how the Giver can turn off the speaker, how there are random announcements directed to specific people, and how doors aren’t locked show how much the government surveilles the people. For example, Jonas states his shock at the locked door to the Giver’s Annex on page 92, when Lowry says, “Then she [the Attendant] seemed to notice his discomfort and to realize its origin. No doors in the community were locked, ever. None that Jonas knew of, anyway.” In the movie, there is one scene showing someone going through video footage to see all of Jonas’ interaction with Fiona, but that’s about it. Another theme the movie removes was mocking today’s society. The entirety of the book is describing a world this society could potentially fall into. This helps it be more relatable to the people of this society. In the movie, it is implied the world is much farther from today due to details such as impeccable technology and memories given that happened relatively recently. This lets viewers distance themselves and say, “It’s just a movie.” Unfortunately, these details change the entire overall message of the book that Lowry tries to convey.

In The Giver their life is different from our life. The book and the movie are similar because the community takes the morning medication for their stirrings. The community also don't see color. The book and the movie are different because Asher is a drone pilot. It includes Jonas kissing Fiona. There is a variety of diffrences and similarities between the movie and the book “ The Giver ”.

The r book had a lot of the same events between the movie and the book, an example being that Jonas had a ster, Lily. One of the more important likenesses that Jonas had ten to see the release of the baby, because if he didn’t he wouldn’t have realized what release , and he would never have saved Gabe. Another that alike between the movie and the book that Jonas friends with Fiona and Asher, and he has an affection for Fiona. Also, Jonas stopped taking h pills, which meant he no longer prevented from feeling emotions. And the similarity that in Jonas’s first memory (the sled ride) he always felt that there some at the bottom of the hill, he never to it, at the end of the book and the movie, he saw that destination and started
