this term we read a book called the giver, and once we finished the novel we got to watch the movie remake, when we watched the movie remake we all sat in a row of chairs and got to watch the giver, I think the movie was worse than the book since they removed a lot of stuff that I really liked in the book.
the movie did help to answer some of my questions like what did the place looked like and what the characters looked like and what time it was based on.
the story of the giver was about a utopia that was very controlling until a kid named Jhoseph gets a job called the memorie ricevier a job where he gets good and horible past memories then after seeing somthing horible he escapes with this baby called Gaybriel, and I really liked the movie and book so I recmend you go read it.
Kia ora Koda!
ReplyDeleteThis is Chris from the Summer Learning Journey. I really like this discussion you’ve posted here. I’ve not seen, or read, The Giver. But I can definitely relate to the feeling of being disappointed by a film because of how much of the book was removed. This is a constant problem that doesn’t seem to go away!
Did the place and characters look the way you expected them to? There’s another film called Minority Report that deals with similar ideas, from what I can see in your review, that you might enjoy!
