The Giver: Modern Brave New World or Cautionary Tale?selfnews Post High-powered actors Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep give face to the ongoing battle between individual freedom and top-down centralized control. In the second trailer, the emphasis is on the tech solutions that are to be offered in order to bring about the harmonious community sought by the technocratic elite headed up by Streeps character. Its a world of limits real and metaphysical which Bridges Morpheus-like character of The Giver seeks to undermine. The symbolism of the red pill of knowledge is offered in this film through a restoration of color beginning with red into a grey, emotionless, manufactured world. The red apple appears to symbolize that knowledge is power; or, if Streeps character is correct, that when people have the freedom to choose, they choose wrong, that same red apple becomes symbolic of original sin and evil from her perspective. What do you think? Looks interesting, but has serious corollaries with Brave New World. Predictive programming or social commentary? Come on. Its made by the Weinstein Company. Only a very small number of the ruling class would have very deep understanding of the wide conspiratorial nature of the system. Predictive programming is real but some people take it way too far, thinking that every movie is intentional predictive programming. Conspiracy theory is more popular than ever and hollywood is reflecting that. It looks more like a critical commentary to me. TOP QUALITY MARIJUANA AVAILABLE RIGHT HERE
