Science Fiction

The Giver is part of the Science Fiction genre. A friend of mine has said that true science fiction is when the setting is the main character and not the story line.

So, based on that assumption, which of the following movies is science fiction and which is not: The Matrix and Star Wars -- why?

As you read The Giver, try to think about whether the characters are the focus or the setting and whether YOU think it is science fiction or not.

I can't remember these movies much, but i think The matrix is a true science fiction movie. Star Wars is about saving the city.
