The Giver

The Giver

Mankind has always dreamed of an ideal society in which there is no pain or disappointment, no strength or weakness. Only few people know at what price this is obtained and what such a society will have to live with. It is in such a world that Jonas lives, a teenager whom the Supreme Council awards to become the Keeper of Memory. This position is important, but not easy, because when a teenager begins to learn the basics from his teacher, it turns out that the reality around the boy is completely different. A conflict arises inside Jonas that he cannot contain. Is this happiness? Read more Based on the first of Lois Lowry's quadrology of books, the film "The Secret One" has an interesting backstory. Jeff Bridges, who plays the role of a person who carries the burden of Memory in the film, has long fought over the film adaptation. This was the case until 2007, when the film studio Warner Bros. did not buy the rights herself, but gave the actor the opportunity to produce the film and perform a role in it. Bridges plays the character that his father, Lloyd Bridges, had envisioned for him. The singer Taylor Swift, who played Rosemary, got the role unexpectedly. The girl was informed that she was ready to take on one of the roles a week after her performance in Los Angeles. The decision was made by one of the creators of the film, who was present at the performance in the audience box. Brenton Tuets was 24 at the time of the film, making him twice the age of his character. The filming took about six months. Starting on October 17, 2013, they ended in February 2014. The location of the film crew was Johannesburg, Cape Town and, a little, England. At the time when scenes were being filmed in South Africa, Nelson Mandela, the first black president of South Africa, died. In honor of his merits and respect for him, the creators specially included his image in "Vatayemnycheny".
