Divergent Review

Divergent is a movie which is based on the book which was written by Veronica Roth. The movie captures the books details as is goes through Beatrice’s perspective and experience in the five factions which each represent a person’s characteristics. The film is packed with various stunts and heart-warming moments which widens the target audience: romance and adventure. The thing about this particular movie is that you barely see any intimate moments between any of the characters which can connote a sort of coldness between them. This coldness has been able to build as the movie builds from the experiences Beatrice and the other characters around her have gone through from sitting at a family table eating a meal to holding a gun and defending herself. Beatrice goes through the changing of factions and ends up in a brutal one. This change taught her bravery and strength as much as confidence which can reflect upon the audience giving them each a message that life can change only if you take the risks; many people can get different messages from the movie depending on how they see it but Tris, as she then called herself wanted to change her life, so she leaped and took risks. The word ‘Divergent’ means that a person doesn’t only have one faction in their characteristics but is all-inclusive which many saw as dangerous which is what this movie is about. It’s a phenomenal storyline that should catch us all.
