The Giver is a story about choices that started as a book by Lois Lowry. In twenty-fourteen, a movie adaption was made of the beloved story. While maintaining the same theme, the movie differs from the book. Today, we are here to talk about the differences in the movie and the book, as well as the similarities. What will the movie have that the book doesn’t? Read on and discover what is the same and what is different regarding, The Giver.
Let’s start off with the similarities between the movie and novel. A significant similarity is that both the movie and novel have the ceremony of 12’s, along with the event of every newborn receiving a comfort object. Going on,,Gabe, (the child that never really grew to the standards of the community) is scheduled for release in the movie and novel. Last but not least,, when Jonas and Gabe are nearing the end of their long trek to Elsewhere, Jonas experiences an odd feeling (joy) that leaves the story on a cliffhanger. All in all, many similarities can be found within the book and movie, leaving us left with the general idea of the plot.

First off, an African-American woman is shown in the movie, while in the book it is claimed that differing skin colors were removed when the world was converted to sameness. Second, in the movie, Fiona has pale eyes, but Jonas has brown eyes, the complete opposite of the book. (Pale eyes signify you can see beyond). Counter to the book, the movie shows that Asher is assigned to drone pilot, whereas in the book he is assigned to be the recreation director. Also, in the movie families get injections when they go out of the house, when in the book the families get pills. Overall, the movie and book may have differences, but they both mostly stay true to the original
Comparing the book to the movie you can clearly tell what certain things are different. For example, Sydelle Pulaski worked for Mr. Westing in the movie but only talked over the intercom. This not only caused a lot of drama but more depth to the plot. Also, Crow didn’t go to jail but they did talk about most of the consequences of her going to jail. This made a little bit more serious and emotional instead of just letting it go.
After reading The Giver I had high expectations for the movie to be just like the book. I was hoping that the ending would be better explained. . Don't get me wrong, Lois Lowry did an amazing job, I just feel that the ending happened too quickly and it was not detailed enough. Concerned with the ending of her book I thought that watching Phillip Noyce movie The Giver would clearly thing up. I was obviously wrong, it was too serious, I mean for the most parts it was OK, but the book was a little more chill. Another thing that bothered me was the chief elder, she only appeared in the book like twice, but in the movie she was like in every other scene. Really it was like they were trying to put her everywhere and make her like one of the main
This essay is about comparing the Giver book and movie. The Giver is a story about a boy named Jonas who was chosen to be the community’s next Receiver of Memory. He lived in a community where everything was chosen for the citizens, and everything was perfect. During Jonas' training, he realized that the community was missing something and that there was more in the world. Jonas wanted the everybody to know that. The Giver book was then made into a movie. Though the two were based on the same story, there are three important differences that could've made them two separate stories. The three main differences between the book and the movie are Asher and Fiona's Assignments, the similarity all Receivers had and the Chief Elder's role.
Some things are different in the book and movie. Like Sunset Towers and Money in both versions. Sunset towers is luxurious in the book but a bad place to live downtown. The money the will was worth 200 million but in the movie it is worth 20 million. Another difference is that the Wexlers moved to Sunset Towers because they had no money, but in the book they moved because they had money. In the movie Jake Wexler is paying off his debt though they have money in the book. Jake Wexler is a
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
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.
Both the novel and the film share indistinguishable qualities. For example,They both have the same places as the novel.There were the DX,Tasty Freeze,the lot,the church,and the characters houses.Since they had the same places the same things happened.They have the same places so,they have the same scenes.However,they seem identical, they have a lot of differences.
A huge difference between the two is that Hannah is old enough to drive in the movie, but in the book she is only thirteen years old. This change makes her a little more bossy with her personality. One of the biggest changes is that in the movie Grace is not a character, but in the book she has a strong influence on Hannah. There are also only two people that are Hannah's age in the movie, but in the book Hannah meets four people that are her age. One major thing the movie changed is that Hannah starts to have a love life with another person. In the when Hannah returns to her normal world she wakes up in a bed, but in the book when she returns she is standing and closing the
The Giver is a dystopian book written by Lois Lowry, that has recently been adapted into a film. If you have read the book, and are a fan of it, like me, then you should definitely spend the money to go and watch the film.
Lois Lowry wrote a science fiction novel called The Giver which was turned into a movie directed by Phillip Noyce. The novel The Giver is about A twelve year old boy named Jonas who lives in a world that is utopia (everything is the same). Until Jonas is selected to be the new receiver of memory and gets memories like color,love,and pain that know one else can see or feel. Until one day when he wants to bring change to his utopian world. In the novel/movie The Giver by Lois Lowry takes away memories and things in characters like Jonas that make us human which in the way the movie portrays it is more remarkable in similar and different ways between movie/book.
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.
The Giver, a book by Lois Lowry, and The Giver, the movie version, have more differences than similarities. The movie changes some details to fit into the new themes and expectations of the film. There are some similarities between the two, such as the general idea of a community based off of Sameness and order. However, there are many differences in things like the themes, the plot, the symbols, and the characters that just cannot be neglected. The movie is more different to the book than similar because it removes important details, such as Jonas’ pale eyes, limiting exposure to themes like government surveillance, and changing the ending of the movie to being more literal.
There are many differences and similarities between the book and the movie. One of these differences is how the characters were portrayed in my head. Another difference is that the book was more suspenseful than the movie in my opinion. One more difference is the movie was a little more difficult to understand. One similarity is that the characters are the same. Another similarity is that the settings are the same.
but I find it is better than the book in my very own opinion. The movie is a sci-fi /fantasy for teens and adults. The movie is a visual of the book but very different at the same time. The Giver movie is about a boy named Jonas who is chosen to be the receiver of a memory.
The giver revolves around sameness. All the girls have the same haircut and all the boys have the same hair cut. Everything is black and white because they don't want them to see color. There cloths are the same and there lifestyle.(Lowry) Reality is everything is in color and you can dress however you want and have whatever haircut you want.
