Re: Did they think

[mekkio]

The Giver should have really been an indie movie. It's a quiet book. That's what is so disturbing about it. There's no major villain. There are no epic chases with the army on your trail. It's just the story of a boy who learns how his society actually functions and is shocked and terrified by it. And he is the only one. Even The Giver, for the most part is, "Meh. It works." And that's what is so damn creepy. The adults know but because society is so well maintain and no one goes hungry or forgotten and everyone is given a purpose, they go along with it. No one wants to upset the applecart.

That's what I want to see in The Giver. A quiet society that seems almost hippy like perfect but only to reveal how apathetic it really is. Apathy is the true enemy in the book.

Exactly! The entire book felt so small, so quiet. Low tech, the calm ever so slightly unnerving. I want to see the movie of that book.

And exactly how deep the wrongness goes creeps up on you. Hell, you don't even find out that nobody can see color until almost halfway through the book.
