Review of The Giver

Brenton Thwaites is really making a name for himself in the film industry having only just started making films in 2013 (at least in my books). I also think the cast is a pretty good selection, although, I haven't read the book to actually confirm that the choices are spot on. I do think it's weird that Taylor Swift is in this, but I think everyone deserves a shot to try something different. I admire the look and feel of the film. It's nice to see some black and white in this day and age. It's interesting to see how color can effect the look and atmosphere of a film. It kind of compares to Divergent or the opposite of The Hunger Games. There is always a twist to living in a perfect society. The truth is the perfect society can never really exist. People may theorize of ways to reduce the clashes of society, but reducing is the only thing that is actually possible. Taylor Swift didn't have much she had to do so it worked just fine. It was well executed and well acted. Jeff Bridges really knows how to pick the right roles. Mankind needs emotion in my opinion. The ending was interesting, but a little cliche to be honest. I was a little annoyed when they constantly said the equivalent to watch your language. I felt something was missing though. It could have used some tweaks and also replaced Katie Holmes. Anyways it's a good watch.
