The
haunting story of The Giver centers on Jonas (Brenton Thwaites), a young
man who lives in a seemingly ideal, if colorless, world of conformity
and contentment. Yet as he
begins to spend time with The Giver (Jeff Bridges), who is the sole
keeper of all the community’s memories, Jonas quickly begins to discover
the dark and deadly truths of his community’s secret past. With this
newfound power of knowledge, he realizes that
the stakes are higher than imagined – a matter of life and death for
himself and those he loves most. At extreme odds, Jonas knows that
he must escape their world to protect them all – a challenge that no one
has ever succeeded at before. THE GIVER is based
on Lois Lowry’s beloved young adult novel of the same name, which was
the winner the 1994 Newbery Medal and has sold over 10 million copies
worldwide.
The movie is directed by Phillip Noyce. The cast includes: Jeff Bridges, Meryl Streep, Brenton Thwaites, Alexander Skarsgard, Katie Holmes, Taylor Swift, Carmeron Monahan and Odeya Rush.
