Sometimes, thinking differently can be a hero. Those who fight against power are in their youth.

The world is set to follow the perfect mechanism operation system under the principle of "selflessness, fearlessness, knowledgeable, honest, and friendly". Any explosion of human nature that breaks through simple factions will be regarded as heterogeneous and divergent and killed. American youth literature and youth films share the commonality of mutual singing, and have always emphasized the individuality of the characters. The film is based on the 23-year-old female writer Veronica Rose's best-selling novel of the same name, and makes no secret of her insistence on self and opposition to the obliteration of human nature by rights. Values. And this work, which was sent to take over "The Hunger Games", naturally has its own ideas and beliefs.

For film creators, the "five major factions" constructed by the film can be regarded as a setting of "soft science fiction". The rationality of its background is not the focus of their attention, but occurs under this setting. The contradictions and conflicts are worthy of discussion. In the established pattern of corruption, a brave and rebellious soul is added. Young people who want to break through their own barriers and complete the confusion about personal identity verification during adolescence are bound to challenge authority. Youth movies basically use this as a contradiction. The multi-faceted entanglement and collision of the characters determine the charm of the drama. In "Dystopian" movies like "Divergent", this confusion is more combined with innovation. This is an important sign of its as a growing film.

For domestic audiences, the biggest attraction of those imported youth films may be that we finally see that not every 16-year-old is destined to cry in love, and 16-year-olds are also faced with choices about life and faith. There is a saying that the country never shoots future-themed movies because it is impossible to determine whether our party will correctly lead the whole people to prosperity in the future. It is illusory to imagine the future. Today’s youth movies in China still remain in love with the children of "You hurt me and laughed away". Even a typical popcorn movie like "The Divergent" is still ahead in concept. Yes, this is really fortunate or unfortunate.

    Standard drama trend, but for the hero's figure and appearance, it must be four stars~

    The latter part is too rushed, and the details of the plot cannot withstand scrutiny. This kind of dystopian movie with girls as the protagonist also reflects a certain demand of the new generation in the United States. Shailene Woodley and Ansel Elgort are brothers and sisters in this film, and they are couples in The Fault in Our Stars. This is a resource for providing gifs to fandom on tumblr.
