The Giver Movie Vs Book

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.

One major change is that Fiona was interested in working at the Nurturing Center instead of the House of Old. If in the movie Fiona had been a carer for the old instead of a Nurturer the whole ending would have had to be different. Then she wouldn’t have been able to help Jonas when he tried to take Gabriel

Finally there are lots of differences between the book and the movie. They also show that the movie was a lot weaker then then the book. I can see the movies aren't always better than the books. The books go more into detail than the movie. I enjoined the movie because it is more visual. The book was a little

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 book had so many scenes that were described with amazing detail, but I thought the movie was lacking. Many scenes that were important in the book were completely cut out during the movie. They basically summed up the first part when Johnny got jumped in the movie instead of going into the detailed event like the book. They also cut out most of the end with the court, and the whole problem with Sandy and Soda.

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.

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

mean there are only small little things that are different in the book and movie.

Another change that I think is negative is that the whole film is very rushed. The movie is only about 1 hour and 40 minutes long, and they had to fit a lot of events in that short amount of time. In doing this, I feel like they rushed along many important parts of the book. Within the first couple minutes of the movie, Jonas was already at the Ceremony being assigned a career, with very little explanation beforehand. The movie doesn't really take the time to emphasize the important message of the story.

The novel and the movie were both very suspenseful. The main characters are both the same in the book and in the movie but are a little bit different then their counter partners in the novel/movie. In both the movie and

The characters are also shown differently in the movie than you might expect, which takes away some from the overall effect the original book had. Finally, the book does a better job of showing the setting and

A reason why I didn't see any deviation from the events in the movie and the book was because even the competition itself toward the end you could get the same emotion from the explanation the book gives and the visuals the movie gives. Another reason why I didn't see any deviation of events from the book to the movie was because there were no names that all of a sudden changed or gone away in the movie. The third and final reason why both

The book and movie are completely different. It 's like comparing apples and oranges. (I 'm assuming that you used the newest version with Guy Pierce). The biggest difference is probably the ommision of Haydee and Maximillien and Valentine (three of the main character) and the addition of Jacapo. Jacapo does is in the book, but he is never a large character.

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.

Fiona is shown more so in the film being brave and breaking away from her stereotype of ‘pretty princess’. I prefer the characters in the film because it gives me a visual of what they look like. I feel as though the casting was very good and that they all looked like there characters were described in the novel in the film all the characters are explored a little more especially with Robyn being shown more with her fight with murder and religion. In the both stories I do feel that Lee was just created to be Ellie’s love
