Inside and outside the city walls, self-awareness

I walked into the theater with great anticipation to watch the third installment of the "Divergent" series, and then walked out of the theater slightly disappointed. Perhaps this feeling coincides with the protagonist Triss - why didn't she escape from the wall with anticipation, and then go to save the world inside the wall full of wounds?

The five most attractive factions in the original series followed the plot of the second part and collapsed overnight. When the leader of the friendly faction also revolted with guns, there were indescribable five flavors in the heart. In times of peace, people of every faction can respect their own choices with heart, but at this moment their hearts are surrounded by hatred, which makes people sigh.

I have to say that Triss and the fourth child are so "despicable" when they choose to leave at this moment. The source of the chaos is caused by them. However, if you think about it carefully, they are not big children in the film, how can they be blamed? After all, if it wasn't for their "the world is so big, I want to see it", how could we get a glimpse of the world beyond the wall?

So, let’s talk about the world beyond the walls now. I like this kind of setting very much: highly polluted land, genetic research institute like a pure oasis in the desert, purification technology that can no longer be high-tech... Every elegant scene is extremely in line with what a dystopian movie should be. presented.

However, that's all, apart from the perfect experience given by the special effects, I seem to have watched an absurd farce - I spent most of the time watching a bad guy with candy coaxing a conceited and naive little girl, She was abducted away. Oh no, the girl conceited that she was going to "save the world".

When the dream was broken, the girl woke up crying, and then she left home, her face drooping and full of tears, and decided to return to her parents. Just like Triss in the play, she returned to the wall again, remembering that that was where she was born.

I was once obsessed with stories about teenagers saving the world, but this time I have a bit of disgust for Triss. Perhaps, studying hard is a serious thing, at least, it can give you more experience in knowing people when you are in the world.
