Why see The Giver?
A World With No Pain, No Desire, No Choice.
To Jonas, The Sameness has always been part of life in the community. Long ago, man found a way to eradicate pain and sadness and emotions no longer rule people like they once did, giving way a life devoid of color, terrain or climate, but ultimately one of contentment. But is this utopian world really as serene as it feels? When Jonas turns 11 he begins to prepare for his job assignment. Jonas is to become the Receiver of Memory, a task that will open a doorway to the past that is not easily closed...
Adapted from Lois Lowry's award-winning Young Adult novel of the same name by Eric Cable, The Giver is a compelling look at conformity and erasure of the past. Sure, we could live without pain, but what about happiness or freedom?
