MAJOR Spoilers for the movie (aka some of the stupid changes the movie made)

[kaijinscendre]

Again MAJOR Spoilers for the movie and book

From this article: http://www.slate.com/blogs/browbeat/2014/08/18/the_giver_movie_s_differences_from_the_book_how_it_compares_to_the_lois.html

But here are some highlights.

-There is also a weird clap they do in the movie where they bang their left hands on their left thighs and keep their right hands in a fist on their right thighs. In the book they clap like regular people.
-His father is compassionate in both the movie and the book, but in the movie his mother seems like the enemy. This is not the case in the book.
-In the movie, on the other hand, he [Asher, Jonas' friend] is a serious, unsmiling busybody who is selected as a drone pilot and later begins to suspect Jonas of breaking the community’s rules.
-The scene where Rosemary plays the piano is not in the book—Jonas refuses to accept a memory of music from the Giver, because he wants the Giver to be able to keep it—and was presumably added so that Taylor Swift could have more screen time. (Similarly, the role of the Chief Elder, a minor one in the book, was expanded for Meryl Streep.)
-The movie’s makeshift sled ride, kissing scene, and everything involving her [Fiona. Jonas' friend in the book] near the end of the film are new.
-In both book and movie, Jonas leaves the community with Gabriel. But in nearly every other respect the endings diverge.

ASHER WAS MY FAVORITE CHARACTER. There was enough conflict in the fact that Jonas had to deal with his friends not understanding what he was going through-- like the scene where Asher is playing "war" and Jonas gets mad that he doesn't understand why it's not a fun game to play. WHY DOES JONAS HAVE TO PUNCH HIM!?

The fist is saved for later unnecessary punching.

Probably them trying to create a knock-off Hunger Games salute.
