The Giver & The Maze Runner

In this post I'm goingo to share with my thougths on The Giver and The Maze Runner trailers that came out last week! I've read both of the books so I was serioulsy eager and nervous to see the first footage.

- The Giver

Book synopsis: Jonas' world is perfect. Everything is under control. There is no war or fear or pain. There are no choices. Every person is assigned a role in the Community. When Jonas turns twelve, he is singled out to receive special training from The Giver. The Giver alone holds the memories of the true pain and pleasure of life. Now, it is time for Jonas to receive the truth. There is no turning back.

After watching this my first thought was: What about the black & white world? I mean, I always thought we would all understand the story way better if there was only color after Jonas receives the fisrt memories. And he receives the memories from lying down and the giver putting his hands on Jonas's back. Plus it's not injections, it's pills! And the fact that Jonas's 17 and not 12? (we already knew that but still).  I was not ok with any of this, but this is a book to movie adaptation and those are never perfect *coughs*except catching fire*coughs*, and I couldn't possibly understant the movie industry the way professionals do. So we just have to wait, and wait, and see if the movie's going to really burn the book or not. 

- The Maze Runner

Book synopsis: "If you ain't scared, you ain't human." When Thomas wakes up in the lift, the only thing he can remember is his name. He's surrounded by strangers--boys whose memories are also gone. Outside the towering stone walls that surround the Glade is a limitless, ever-changing maze. It's the only way out--and no one's ever made it through alive. Then a girl arrives. The first girl ever. And the message she delivers is terrifying.

I love everything about this trailer! We waited so long but it was worth it. *Omg Dylan*. I couldn't be anymore pleased with this, I think they did a really great job.  I absolutely loved when Thomas arrived to the Glades - it was intense. And the Maze looks just beyond awesome. The boys' language is there, the terrifying monsters are there, Thomas Brodie-Sangster's accent is there (yeyyyy for this), the intensity and the seriousness of the book is there, nothing's missing. The final scene when Thomas gets out to the Maze at the last second is just amazing. I can't wait to see the movie! Only 6 more months greenies!
