Insurgent Divergent 2: The Jedi Strikes Back (2015)

To be honest, I didn't really feel anything special when I watched Divergent (Divergent: Awakening of Aliens) last year. Maybe it's because I read too many stories of the same type, and Divergent wasn't that prominent. So when the second Insurgent (Divergent 2: The Jedi Strikes Back) was released, and everyone said that Insurgent was not good-looking, the plan to watch this movie was indeed put on hold for a long time, until recently, I finally watched it in my spare time. For the movie Insurgent, I personally think that the story of the second film is stronger than the first one. Why don't you like it? Why is the rating lower than the first one? Is it really because the short-haired heroine Shailene Woodley looks too much like Guo MM... 囧!

Continuing the story of the last Divergent, Tris (Shailene Woodley) and Four (Theo James) escaped to the friendly colony, only to be chased by erudite leaders Jeanine (Kate Winslet) and the Dreadnoughts. Killing, on the other hand, Jeanine is also catching divergents and conducting experiments with unknown purposes, and the future of Tris and Four becomes even more unclear.

The first Divergent made me feel more like pretending to be a family wine. The heroine Tris always looked innocent and was always protected by the hero Four; while the second Insurgent made me feel more real, with the difference between the hero and heroine. The interaction between them became more natural, and the female protagonist Tris' doubts and fears about herself also gave me a deeper understanding of the role of Tris and the theme of the story.

"This is what happens to people that get close to me. They get hurt or they die. I can't forgive myself." -Insurgent, 2015

"I'm not brave, Mom. I pretend that I am. I want people to think that I am, but I'm not. I'm really, really scared and... Maybe we are, actually, what's wrong in this world. Divergents. I never wanted any of this. You and dad and Caleb and Four. I can't help but think that if I was normal. We would all still be together. Mom, I don't want to be Divergent anymore. I just want to feel safe again."——Insurgent, 2015 After

watching Insurgent, I have more expectations for the third Allegiant. After searching the Internet for the introduction of the original novel, the plot of the third part seems to have turned again, and the story seems to have a tangled ending. Looking forward to seeing what surprises I have with Allegiant: Part 1 and Part 2 scheduled for release in 2016 and 2017.

The Divergent Series: Insurgent quotes

  • Tris: Our parents would be ashamed of you.

    Caleb: Well, maybe not. I mean, I am willing to sacrifice you, the only family I have left, the only person I love, in order to preserve what's best for everyone else. What's more selfless than that?

  • Tris: What are you doing here?

    Four: You die, I die.

    Peter: Oh. Okay, guys, come on. Let's go, seriously. We can do that later.
