![]() ![]() And while I think the absence of Peter’s storyline makes the movie less interesting than the book, it, like these other cuts, also makes it easier for the filmmakers to say that their movie has nothing do with the unfortunate politics of Orson Scott Card.Īlso read Dana Stevens’ review of Ender’s Game. And it’s quite possible the filmmakers omitted all this out of concern for the movie’s running time. Ultimately, it’s more complicated than that: While Peter succeeds, he also matures, and does not become the vicious dictator he seems destined to become. He is explicitly compared to Hitler, and bears a passing resemblance to Card’s later visions of Barack Obama the scenario in general evokes Card’s longstanding fears of a “ new world order.” The Enders Game series (often referred to as the Ender saga and also the Enderverse) is a series of science fiction books written by American author Orson Scott Card. writing Ender's Game I deliberately avoided all the little literary games and gimmicks that make fine writing so impenetrable to the general audience. There’s a major storyline about the efforts of Ender’s sadistic brother, Peter, to capitalize on those political tensions and take over the world. Enders Game wonderfully encompasses the premise of a smart Sci-Fi epic that doesnt insult the audience with cheap quips and puns meant to please studio execs. Much is made in the book of the uneasy, Cold War-like détente that the threat of alien invasion has created. ![]()
