There are more and more teenage fantasy movies, but the Divergent series gives the author a feeling that the better the film is, probably because the starting point is too low.
The Harry Potter series is best seen in the first four episodes. The Hunger Games is the most exciting in the second episode. Maze Runner, Twilight and Percy Jackson are the first and most amazing. If you've seen all of the above, then watching the Divergent series must have a strange feeling, am I watching a movie or a parody show. The division of factions in the first part is exactly the same as that of the new Harry Potter branch, the second part is a revolution and anti-power is like the possession of the Hunger Games, and the third part escapes the wall and enters the wasteland to encounter a mysterious organization as if moving a labyrinth and reviving the soul. Even the female protagonist Triss has the same bad habit of overthrowing the ruler in the same place as the Mockingjay cousin.
Simply put, the Divergent series is an integration and concentrated display of existing routines and patterns. As teen movies matured and mass-produced, the Divergent series only got better. It's just that you can't see much novelty from it. Utopian experiments under the control of advanced institutions, encountering protagonists with strong rebellious consciousness, passers-by have demonstrated the advantages and disadvantages of various political systems for us. Applying these old settings to any teen utopian movie wouldn't be too far off.
Let's take a closer look at this better and better Divergent 3. Its role is similar to that of Maze Runner 2 or The Hunger Games 3. However, compared to the Hunger 3, which is just for transition, this film is obviously more complete. Of course, it doesn't mean that there is no pit for the next part of Divergent 4 at the end, but at least this film is not a long trailer shot for the sequel, but has a complete story line from beginning to end and ending at the end.
From escaping from the city to returning to the city, the protagonists have grown up, understood their mission, and established their leadership among the people. In addition, after breaking the multi-faction parliamentary system and dictatorship, this film accidentally formed a two-party dispute, but it was also ended by Trisi, who returned from fleeing and saw the truth, forming a "people's democratic dictatorship". under the leadership of Silk. A scene of people's trial, much like the trial court led by scarecrows in the Dark Knight, shows the ugliness of human nature and politics.
Divergent 3 greatly increases the use of special effects, but the texture of the picture is the same as that of the movies 20 years ago, and it is a match for the special effects movies of the scumbags of the Celestial Dynasty, which really affects the look and feel. Background textures and CG modeling are worn in minutes. Fortunately, the red tone of the Blood Wasteland looks like that of Mad Max 4. The high-tech equipment of the Gene Welfare Bureau is not unconventional, especially the portable drone combined with the gun battle design, and the amnesic serum spray. It's the highlight of the movie.
The soundtrack is more rapid, more able to drive the atmosphere, and the action scenes have also been greatly increased, and the overall rhythm of the film has improved compared to the previous work. Love scenes are no longer the place where everyone complains. The triangular relationship and the dog-blood relationship have finally disappeared, and the love in the Divergent series is relatively simple and normal. The fourth child and Triss are in each other's hands most of the time, even if they are in trouble, it is not because the three are interfering, but because the two have different views on some things, and they will get back together when they understand each other. Such an ordinary and plain feeling, but in the crisis-ridden world constructed by the film, convincingly brings a little touch, and simplicity is true.
As the older generation of movie stars and queens gradually fade out, the new generation is rising strongly, and it is the general trend that the protagonists will become teenagers. But now such mass-produced teen movies are like tasteless, all tasteless, even if the film company does not consider the feelings of the audience, it should also consider its own benefits.
