Several years ago I read the Newberry Award winning book The Giver, by Lois Lowry. My stepdaughter was reading it for her Catholic school class, and I wanted to know what she was reading. I found myself engrossed in the story, which centers on a futuristic society, post-“Ruin”, in which a group of Elders govern the passive “sheeple.”
Lowry published the book in the early 1990s, and twenty years later it finally has come to the big screen. When I heard recently that the story had been made into a movie, I was eager to see it. It opened this past Thursday in theaters, and I made my way to see it yesterday ( Saturday).
Let me start by immediately saying that this movie is a must-see for all Conservatives. But the same is true for Liberals. In fact, the movie is distributed by Harvey Weinstein, the notoriously über-liberal movie producer, and it stars Meryl Streep, who also shares a passion for liberal causes. The question for me in all of this is why liberals would contribute to a story that–in my mind–is so damning of the liberal-progressive way of life. The only answer that makes sense is that they do not see the story as I do. Rather, they must see it as an indictment of conservative values. Why else would they star in and distribute this movie?
