I have to commend the production crew it was an extremely difficult setting to make. The setting of the movie perfectly creates the soul world the caves were exactly as I imagined when reading the book. She convinces Wanderer to go on a journey to try and find her brother and Jared, who she believes are in her uncle’s hideout in the desert, also known as the caves. But Melanie does not giving up yet, although she can’t control her actions, she has not totally lost herself yet and can talk to Wanderer through her thoughts. Melanie did not die and she was implanted with a soul named Wanderer. Her last action may have saved Jared and Jamie, but she could not save herself. Melanie, in desperation to save her loved ones, jumps out of a window hoping to die before getting implanted and creates a diversion for Jared and Jamie to get away. One night, while hiding out at an old hotel, Melanie sacrifices herself in order for her brother and Jared not to be found by the Seekers who found where they were hiding out. Melanie Stryder, a main character, is one who escaped with her younger brother, Jamie, and is eventually joined with Jared Howe. They are labeled as Seekers, and the humans are forced to go in hiding because of them. Assigned souls hunt for those who have escaped and sent out to implant them. Almost all of the humans have been implanted except for those few who were able to escape. Our bodies have been implanted by a foreign species that believe it’s helping us, but in the process we lose control of who we are, our own thoughts and our own actions. In the both the novel and the movie, the world is peaceful, there is no war, poverty or hate, but it is not our world anymore.
With fans awaiting the next Stephenie Meyer production, we can’t help but question: Will the movie stray from the written plot line or will it stick to the novel? When the answer was revealed, I was disappointed.
The book was published in May 2008 and was then released as a movie on March 29, 2013. After releasing the multi-million dollar book series, The Twilight Saga, Stephenie Meyer has continued her career going to a science-fictional love story, The Host.
