The Giver

Pleasantville if someone remembers. A boy in a conformist, affectless colony is chosen as the next Receiver of Memories, a role that exposes him to the richness and trauma of history. He learns the elders have suppressed the wider spectrum of human experience. Jeff Bridges brings his weathered gravitas to the cryptic mentor role.
