can't stand

The newly released Divergent 2, aside from its wonderfully pale graphics, is as bad as ever. The heroine's performance should have been a highlight. It's a good thing to be transformed into a proletarian revolutionary fighter, but in the end, there was nothing left except for a few unsuccessful crying scenes. I can only say that as an audience, I resonated very much. strenuous.
To buy a bad movie for good money, it can only be handsome guys and beauties, cool shots, and topical discussions. There is no denying that there are really all. Dystopia is an interesting topic of the work itself in this teen-aged film.

What is dystopia? That is, human beings are very spiritually empty after material development, and then they do not want to live and want to destroy human beings. Usually the society is very peaceful on the surface, but there are all kinds of ugly behind the scenes. In fact, in a word, when you have money, you want to be self-willed. The representative work can only be the famous "1984".

Looking back at the society in the movie, erudite, friendly, fearless, selfless, honest, the society is divided into five factions. Even for the sake of showing it to young people, you can't lower your IQ. Five highly generalized concepts have no substance. As long as they have ideals and beliefs, they are a party, what the hell. Then there will be a revolution for those who disagree, and then those who disagree will be oppressed in various ways, and then a group of people will make a revolution with those who disagree with their IQ, ahem, the male protagonist said that I was actually for a woman. The female protagonist is a disagreement. In the end, unfortunately, she becomes an experimental subject and has to pass the test of the five factions. I think the female protagonist is not an honest person, but she still passed the honest test easily, which makes me very disgusted. What disgusts me the most is that five concepts can wipe out human nature, and people are completely controlled by strange thoughts. All I can say is that this setting is really a mess, so what I can say about it, it can't compare to the same theme of The Hunger Games.

At the end of the story, the "proletariat" successfully entered the stage, a successful revolution. In order to avoid the question of how to design a better ruling system and who should govern, the film finally said that all this was just an experiment, in order to choose Create a divergence and open a new map. . . . . . This answer implies yet another metaphor of a brain in a vat. But whatever the answer is, the brain in a vat is just there to deny "reality", the reality you experience. So emotionally speaking, I don't like it very much, and logically, there are reasons for it, so let's do it.

Since the fundamental interest of the group that holds the power of distribution is to maintain its own dominance, no matter what appeal it has in form, its final result will run counter to its basic appeal to maintain social justice. In fact, this is what I want to say. In the society in the movie, no matter who is in power, the result will be the same. Totalitarianism will inevitably bring resistance.
