The Giver (Essential Modern Classics) | Lois Lowry

I never heard about this book or movie. Sci-fi, and especially Dystopian stories, rarely interest me.

We had an opportunity to watch the movie this week...and I wasn't surprised to learn that the book has faced bans.

Is this what Little t and his administration aspires to transform Our America into?

This movie is both beautiful and horrifying.

AnnCrystal It centers on a world without love, empathy, independence, music, color, faith, hope, nor anything that causes feeling or stirs your senses.

Jonas is chosen to become the next Receiver of Memory. Each day he receive the history of humanity from the Giver in an exclusive library at the very edge of the community.

AnnCrystal Jonas quickly learns that in order to learn history, he must experience empathy. But Jonas was born to be more than just the next Receiver of Memory, and the Giver has been waiting for him.

AnnCrystal In my opinion, this story is only an issue for those seeking to oppress democracy.

Amiable A world without love, empathy, independence, hope, compassion or history is exactly where we are headed. 😖 3w

TieDyeDude I highly recommend the book. It has been a constant re-read for me since middle school. The movie was an admirable attempt (Jeff Bridges wanted for years to make it with his dad Lloyd, but it didn't come to pass, and he made it with some concessions during the YA dystopia craze), but the book is on a whole other level, IMO. The graphic novel was also well done. 3w

AnnCrystal Truth 🫂 @Amiable 😢 oh gosh, that's exactly what my mom and I just talking about. We really need to encourage empathy, teach it in any way we can ✊🏼🦅✌🏼💝. 3w

AnnCrystal Thank You @TieDyeDude 👏🏼🤩 there's even a graphic novel! Where have I been...thanks, I will be sure to keep a lookout for these book versions.

It would have been a lovely father and son duo film if Jeff Bridges would have been able to convince this film to be made sooner 🎬💫.

This is a treasure...that feels like a terrifying warning 🤔✊🏼🌞📚🎬💫. 3w
