Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Giver is a 2014 science fiction film directed by Phillip Noyce. It is an adaptation of Lois Lowry's bestselling young adult novel of the same name, starring Brenton Thwaites as Jonas, Meryl Streep as the Chief Elder, Jeff Bridges as The Giver, Odeya Rush as Fiona, and Katie Holmes and Alexander Skarsgård as Jonas's parents.In the future, humanity has managed to eliminate all warfare, pain, illness, and suffering and has created a perfect society ruled by the nearly-omniscient Elders — but at the cost of removing any disruptive memories from the collective consciousness. Instead, these memories are passed on to the Receiver of Memory, whose job is to advise the Elders on any matter beyond their experience. When eighteen-year-old Jonas is chosen to become the next Receiver of Memory and unearths the secrets of Sameness under the watchful eye of his mentor, the current Receiver (called "Giver" by Jonas), the two of them conspire to change their society forever.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
| The Giver / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The film mentions The Ruin, although that wouldn't be discussed in the books until Gathering Blue. The mechanism on how Jonas's memories are shared with the community when he leaves is handwaved as being a technological force field he has to pass to release the memories, where in the book, it just happens with no real explanation. | |

| The Giver / int_a4414a05 | comment |
Adaptation Dye-Job: The blue eyes linked to seeing beyond are not mentioned in the film, and the indicator is instead a Birthmark of Destiny. Although Taylor Swift and the babies who play Gabe retain their paler eyes, Jonas has brown eyes instead of blue. | |

| The Giver / int_accd97de | comment |
Actionized Adaptation: In the book Jonas's escape from the Community, while hastily-planned, went off without much incident. The film adaptation had him be discovered and added action sequences of him having to quickly escape with Gabriel, Fiona covering for him, and Asher searching for him with a drone plane. | |
