[Divergent 2] There are also small complaints about small bugs and small questions, about the ending

Lolita 2022-03-20 09:01:32

First let me state that I haven't read the book. And I haven't had time to watch the third part.
When I saw the ending, in fact, to be honest, I did not understand it the first time, and then I pulled the progress bar forward again and pondered it.
Let’s talk about my understanding of the ending: there was a war on the earth, which is the so-called end of the world. Why, because of all the misdeeds of human beings (that is, there are too many bad aspects in the character), so, surviving The descendants decided to cultivate people with absolutely beautiful characters (at least covering friendly, erudite, selfless, fearless, and honest), so they opened a plot of land, surrounded it with walls, and conducted an experiment that lasted for two hundred years. . The purpose of dividing human beings into five factions is to avoid chaos in the experiment like the outside world, and each of them can maintain order for at least a period of time.
So how do you know that this Divergent has been cultivated? That is to say, if there really is a disagreement, he must have multiple personalities and characteristics, and he will not be able to obey the established order, and he will definitely devote himself to breaking the order. Excluded, wanted, and will eventually complete the test of five factions, and the truth will be revealed to the public.
In other words, the human beings outside come to find a person through the erudite school, and this person, this person who disagrees, that is, the representative of the truth, goodness and beauty of mankind, also shoulders the responsibility of revitalizing mankind and returning the world to beauty in my understanding.
Then I will talk about some of my understandings and incomprehensions:
1. Why did the faction test in Divergent 1 measure that Tris was fearless, selfless and erudite, but in Divergent 2 she could pass the five faction tests?
2. When the little girl was tested with that instrument, she was a 40% disagreeer, that is to say, she has many different personalities, so is she considered a disagreement?
I have also thought about the above two points. Maybe everyone has many personalities. Even if they are divided into factions, it cannot be guaranteed that everyone does not have any one or more of the other four personalities. The faction test should also look at Find out which of the five personalities of this person has the highest proportion. In this case, everyone should be a disagreement, which is obviously not true. That is to say, in fact, the fearless are not without wisdom, and the friendly people are not completely timid, but the condition of being able to belong to either faction is that you have only one character that reaches a certain percentage (that is, you can There are other characters, but if it is less than that set percentage, it can be ignored and will not pose a threat to the faction system).
And in this way, it can be understood that what the real erudite is looking for, and what people outside the wall are looking for, is a "super-divergist" (not that he has the characteristics of five factions, but that he can belong to any a faction, the two are essentially different).
3. Divergents can no longer survive in the faction system, and the same is true for non-sectarians. What is the difference between them?
In my opinion, the divergent person has the characteristics of any faction. Since the total is only 100%, each faction is divided into one point, and each faction does not have much left on average. That is to say, he is not a specialization, such as Triss, she will naturally have a very difficult time completing the assessment of Fearless. There is a problem. According to Divergent 1, in the fearless faction assessment, those who are in the bottom stream will be beaten to the Wu faction others. That is to say, this assessment can only distinguish between the fearless faction and the fearless faction. , does not distinguish between those who disagree and those who do not.
In my opinion, people without factions do not possess the characteristics of any faction (or have them, but they do not reach the level of specialization, that is, below a certain percentage, which is not enough to support them to complete the special assessment), on the contrary, He may have flaws that are diametrically opposed to factions, such as ignorance, cowardice, selfishness, hypocrisy, and unkindness.
4. The question arises again, why for polymaths (or for the whole faction system), only those who disagree are destructive and those who are not sectarians are despised or even not noticed?
Perhaps it is because the non-sectarians are easy to screen and distinguish from various factions, and they are easy to be controlled, while the divergent ones have strong adaptability and strong ability, and can disguise themselves to survive.
Or, it can be understood that such a setting is established by "people outside the wall", and they must know that non-sectarians (people without the five good qualities) cannot pose a threat to the entire faction system alone, which is to instill It is such a vulgar theme that people who achieve great things must have good morals.
5. Where did that box come from? Why at Tris's mom? Has it ever been opened? If it has not been opened, why is it important to know it, and if it has been opened, why has the secret not been released?
The box should have been prepared in advance by someone outside the wall and stored with the Selfless faction. As for why it is in the selfless faction, it should be well understood, because probably only the selfless faction can truly take in or hide a dissident (the erudite faction cannot always play tricks, the friendly faction does not like to kill, even if it accepts it, it will not protect it, honesty The faction in charge of the court and order will not allow anyone who violates the order to appear, and the fearless are mostly soldiers who are used by the erudite to govern the rebels). However, the most surprising thing is that the selfless people may not have any scheming and tricks. The initial setting of people outside the wall handing over the city to the selfless faction has also been destroyed. The safe-keeping box also fell into the hands of the erudite.
I speculate that this box has never been opened, because if it had been opened, the secret would have been announced long ago. Even if it was opened and she didn’t want people to know about this terrible thing, then she could actually choose to destroy the box, but from From the perspective of Divergent 1, the selfless mother Triss also has the characteristics of fearless, and the reasonable explanation is that she is not a so-called "Super Divergent".
6. Then why does Mother Tris know that what is inside is so important and even willing to sacrifice for it, and when she knows that her daughter is a disagreement, why not let her daughter open it?
The plausible explanation is that she did not know that Tris was the "super-divergist", and that the wrong subject could have caused his death.

I don't want to tangle any further about the box and Mama Triss. . .

7. What will happen if this divergent person is found?
According to the words in the box, it means that you can join the people outside the wall. Because the purpose of the experiment is to find those who disagree, and Triss has been found, which means that the experiment is over, and the mission of the experimented people has been completed.
8. Does this confluence refer to everyone in this experiment, or just this divergent?
If it were all people, it would not be in line with the purpose of the experiment, and what was wanted was the divergent ones, but there would be a lot of ordinary human beings, which would make the human base bigger, and there would be more troublesome things to do. This seems clearly not to hold.
There is an explanation that the war is still going on outside, and the mission of these people as experimental mice has ended, but they can also be reused as soldiers.
If it's just this divider, is there really a war that one person can stop? I just thought that I wanted to cultivate a "super divergent person" and use him as the seed of the human world. When human beings are ruled by evil forces or they are almost wiped out by their own bad deeds, there will be some truth, goodness and beauty. people can exist forever. However, it is very strange, can one person shoulder the mission of reproducing offspring? I don't believe it anyway! Even two "super-diversity", judged by the law of genetic segregation and free combination, can guarantee that their children are exactly the same as their genes? This seems to be clearly not established.
There is only one explanation. This "super divergent person" has the ability to lead an absolutely complete human race. (I mean under his jurisdiction, human beings can live in harmony without wars in an orderly manner)

Well, hopefully I'm thinking too much.

9. Since this experiment was designed by people outside the wall, they should also be able to monitor the trend of the development of the experiment, that is, they should know about the usurpation of power by the erudite faction, and the appearance of people who are suspected of "super divergent people", then why not take it? Measures or protects Tris?
The reasonable explanation I can think of is, (although I have not done any similar experiments), the experiment may be to have such a state, uncontrollability is the norm, and external intervention cannot always be required. The result, which has nothing to do with subjective will, is more in line with the principle of experiment. Even if the erudite usurpation could lead to a series of consequences, even if the only hope that Triss might be tossed to death might be dashed, but experiments are always like this, and interference will affect its own operation in the future. At the same time, it is also to avoid the reality that the experimented people perceive that they are being experimented.
10. Where did these subjects come from? Are they human? Can human beings really be divided into such factions?
At this time, I thought of a classic movie "Escape from the Clone Island". The clones in it also didn't know that they were cloned objects, and the experimenters also kept this secret in order not to cause a disturbance. But obviously this phenomenon does not exist in Divergent, and as you can see from the end of the film, when the truth is advertised on the big screen, no one has any overreaction (except for the erudite leader who shakes his head and wants to kill someone) other than), they can accept the fact that they are the subjects.
In this way, they should be human, not something like clones in a human-dominated or human-like appendage.
That is to say, some of the people at that time were selected for the experiment. They had to keep a secret about the outside world. After being divided into factions (at that time, there should be no "super divergent people" like Tris who gathered all the truth, the good and the beautiful without any shortcomings) , multiply, conceal, until the third generation (two hundred years later), this person appeared.

In fact, I still have to complain in the end. I have high expectations for this film, because I really liked it when I watched Divergent 1. Foreign movies are so unconventional, these very novel things that go beyond current cognition will be very popular. my likes. But it may be that the freshness of the first film has passed, and the second film has been procrastinated and not very ups and downs in the early stage. The biggest selling point, the ultimate mystery, is solved at the end of the two-hour movie, and only said Such a thing then came to an abrupt end. There really is a feeling of being cheated! Weakly asked, was the second film abandoned by the director and screenwriter? Even if it is a film that connects the previous and the next, it shouldn't be so watery, right? All ruined the first brand!

Hey, maybe this kind of movie with a sequel will be procrastinated like this. Since it will procrastinate, why not make a season show like Sherlock, or re-divide the episodes into a TV series. A movie is called a movie, isn't it just about streamlining it? If a book is adapted into a movie, then it's better to change it. Keep it simple. If the content in the book is good enough and there are many things that can't be discarded, then why make it into a movie? Of course, I exclude those big productions such as Mission Impossible, at least the relationship between each movie is really small, and you can understand it without watching it from the beginning. Well, I understand that too, but why not learn from The Hunger Games anyway. People do it more successfully.

As for The Hunger Games, the selling point is also a story that is out of reality, but each game has its climax and highlights (and not at the end!!!), the first one is a Hunger Games fight, and the second one is hungry anyway. In the game scene, even if the third part is the link between the previous and the next, it also has bright spots and selling points (because I have read the original book), the most anticipated song about the hanging tree at least came out, and it sings quite ethereally, and it is a hero. Being on TV is also very novel and very unexpected, at least the tone has changed and it is not an old woman's footbinding.

Moreover, the heroine, in fact, sincerely, is not suitable for short hair! And, mistress, when undressing, the muscles near the shoulder blades really scared me. Of course, the heroine's skills are still remarkable, especially when she is extremely panic-stricken, the lines are read out in an angry or hoarse voice, which is still very reductive and immersive. Moreover, the male lead is also very handsome!

Still looking forward to the third part, although I complain, I will still watch it.
