The sender is a proof, if necessary, that the obsession with Hollywood adaptations of teen romance novels and science fiction is not going away soon. This time we have a utopian society, war, hunger and diseases have been eradicated, with the color, emotion and free thinking. It's a world waiting for a brave young man who comes and buck the system of independent dangerous ideas. This character is in the form of Brenton Thwaites Jonas, who is assigned as their new role in society at the age of 18, the mysterious position of Keeper of Secrets. Here it is in the care of the mysterious donor (Jeff Bridges) and is defined by their time together, learns that not all rosy in the garden of Eden, futuristic.
Although it is very easy to make fun of the genre for its pot and exaggerated sense of the protagonists importance, there was a vision, that is, the first hunger games and the last 30 minutes of twilight fee end there is a bit of fun you had. Unfortunately, the joy and fun of all kinds in this perfect community were banned, seems Phillip Noyce have introduced policies during production. Despite nods Orwell's 1984 with its repressive, all-seeing gentlemen, there is too excited to get little here. In fact, all his best pieces; Namely, the principle and the use of color, which were all done often.
This is not a complete remission. All that could be with Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep never. The first is almost on autopilot as gruff sensei is a tragic loss, while the cold, calculating behavior that much needed excitement hides in addition. Breathe only so much life in proceedings to obtain the film alive, but they can not afford the huge potholes. Why so dead set society to forget the past, even the trouble of an uncomfortable position Delete guardian of secrets? Or why Jonas crossing an invisible border magic again the collective memory of the entire population?
Probably Lowry things are covered in the source material. The few lines of exposure you receive as equivalent to a shrug and a here "this is a movie." It is commendable that the director did his best to keep it closed with a running time of 90 minutes, if, since it is possible (also resist the temptation to divide the movie in two parts!), But a little more time spent to explain these problems have come a long way. It does not help if the romantic leads (Thwaites and Odeya noise) had a softness that the average mumbly Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson in Twilight seem like Bogart and Bacall makes in comparison. Then ironic that a film about the importance of remembering the past is pretty much forgotten. Give'r a lady.
