Harockerce What a beautiful movie!
NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!
HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Michael Ledo In the future, after an unnamed war, Brave New World Chicago becomes a walled city nation. There are 5 factions or work groups in this tiered society. People can choose which one they want to be in, after they go through a Sorting Hat test. Beatrice Prior (Shailene Woodley) discovers she is a "divergent" i.e. someone who doesn't neatly fit into any group. Bummer about the DNA. Divergents are hunted and killed.Beatrice hides this fact and joins a group of muscle headed protectors, changes her name to Tris and gets a tattoo. She enters a unisex "Starship Troopers" dorm where she will train and either make the grade or get cut and join the factionless beggars. Much of the film centers around her training and of course she meets a boy (Theo James) who helps her along the way until things go awry.The production steals from a number of different pop culture iconic films/books. At times it was groan worthy. Having said that, I did enjoy the film, even while groaning through so many scenes. This was clearly aimed at teens, especially teen girls.The film is worth seeing as a wannabe iconic production.
Johnghl Even though the thoughts written here are relevant at any age of dating and the outcome being the same too that a relationship is not formed or even once the next best thing being in person sex for however long even if long term is the thought I must remember I'm over 60 years of age with some decreased looks and out of shape baggage that goes with it. If I think of twenty things to get someone to do something and even mention one outlet for her not to do so if that one is her wish even with only a 51 to 49 % advantage she'll probably just take that one outlet if she replies at all. This leads to a quick next thought. Not once in any fashion have I ever gotten a direct reply trying to intro or not much next after thoughts with electronic communication to the girl. Some responses of any kind have been detected by me but those ways currently are next to impossible for me to detect. Dating services of any fashion lead nowhere. I did get one response once about 7 years before the Internet existed joining a $700 plus dating service giving a in person application that lead to a car drive and a bar date. That was about the last time I think I had a date. Previous to that I had my share but this letter isn't a review of my life. The number one rule nowadays is that the girl must be lifetime money self sufficient living anywhere. That leads just about everyone out. Only 1 in 1000 are that way and the actresses of any fashion be it over twenty of them who weren't one of the 1 in 1000 used slut entertainment thoughts involving me to be a 1 in a 1000 self money sufficient person but the sad movie or singer concept to that is none of those girls thought that sharing their wealth with me was a requirement or even a intro one in person date let alone my preferred minimun requirement thought of 25 dates. So it's understood outthinking their thoughts of what is best for them or what they want or what they are willing to do is at least in my case impossible to outthink or even partially persuade. I'll just say the difference between me and you girl (any girl) is if the girl approached me by mail or in person giving her contact number she'd have to say next to nothing for me to reply if she was attractive and money self sufficient. But for those that weed out hundreds of suitors per day I've never known any of them to focus and when they focus their focus leads nowhere however public popular. I was going to write about 20 reasons why girls are into idiots but this email is already too long. You can though in the immediate future reach me at johniverson4@peoplepc.com There's my contact. Need I say again the difference between me and you girl (any girl). The sad fact is 9 out 10 movie concepts are light years from this letter style with many much more so than others yet those sort that yet detect me feel there is some sort of invite to them when there isn't. I could write pages about how mentally ill I would get getting involved with them. But this letter concept is not looking for dismissal with me and IMDb. I sort of had Ashley Judd in mind when writing this being more positive than negative but more or less focus writing to a star is banned here. Personally it's been decades when getting annoyed by people it's by those you can't find however immediate the interpretation and with I don't even know if they qualify for I wouldn't want to know you or them even if I did. Biggest mistake in writing these emails is if you know that any response if at all will lead you to get mentally ill if I involve myself hundreds of times over with them and not much else especially in money concept or marriage dating then why try at all from the get go. Even at the best if a romantic attitude is established it will probably only be done in some group thought fashion and will having nothing to do with being a couple. That's about the only way current Hollywood fashion stays in fashion. I current thought about Ashley is I'm over 50% positive on my approach to her but there is too she'd have to really a lot kiss my over a long time in person for me to really fall. She with me has a current personality interpretation of that ain't going to happen. It's more her charm with me doesn't much get past bye bye soon enough. I'm not looking for either for the girl with I'm not bluffing but I'm gorgeous attitude and she expects me to sex her big time a half hour minimum everyday. Those types only have a place in my life on paid for out of state DVD XXX delivery for I'm not into intensive in person long girl selfish sex or even quickie looking just for a daddy type girl. I did consider rhyming divergent with Queen machine laundry detergent but doesn't that seem corny?
gomeslukete 9/10. A film based in a book will never get a perfect 10 for me.... In my mind the chars and the environment, and everything is sooo better (but Christina I imagined exactly the way she is represented in the movie).... But this film, and the history of the whole trilogy, is great. The special effects, the screenplay...
cinemajesty Summit Entertainments LLC presents in Spring 2014 the first ""Divergent" movie directed by Neil Burger, who had been a solid choice for this franchise establishment in the shadow of a largely successful "Hunger Games" Series awaiting its split in two third installment for an November release of the same year. Even by putting the "Divergent" movies as far from releasing third and fourth "Hunger Games" movies, the success could not be match by producer duo Douglas Wick & Lucy Fisher, too complex had become the load of characters involved of creating the story around Beatrice aka Tris, portrayed by Shailene Woodley steady raising since Alexander Payne's "The Descendants" (2011), who has become the chosen one to train full-contact combat and weaponry in one of the five factions of a dystopian Chicago city behind walls as novelty written by twenty-something year old Veronica Roth.Director Neil Burger, responsible for Part 1 "Divergent" did well by restraining his cinematographer Alwin H. Kuchler to establish the characters furthermore Tris nemesis Jeanine, performed in freezing powerhouse mode by Kate Winslet, who puts the character of Tris in the first two movies of the series in imprisoned situation, starting put from conference room, to fighting Tris love interest the character of Four aka Tibirius in a corporate hallway before coming full circle in Director Robert Schwentke's Part 2 called "Insurgent", where a developed dreamscape serum gets used to confront inner fear challenges towards the ultimate core of Tris' existence, marvelously paced character intergrations in dissolving urban CGI environment, which raised the bar for the entire production in part 3 called "Allegiant".Director Neil Burger had been able to restrain himself of focusing the mass of characters surrounding Tris in the hand-to-hand combat environment of "Divergent", keeping the coverage steady in a classic approach of three to four angles per scene with an occasional finesse of dutch angles, character-emphasizing color forces, but mainly neglecting connecting dolly-shots to deny "Divergent" being a visual feast as reference films, starting out from "The Matrix" (1999) over "Equilibrium" (2002) to the all-to-well known "Inception" (2010).A fact Director Robert Schwentke used as alibi to let cinematographer move the Digital Camera Alexa manufactured by Arri in Munich, Germany with all gadgets from cranes, jibs, dolly and Steadicam actions, justifying a 220 Million U.S. Dollars budget for two movies in one production. Nevertheless through all the technical directions, Robert Schwentke were able to use, he could not convince actress Shailene Woodley to create a breakout performance in the role of Tris, coming out of her skin in one of the many action scenes to share at least one mind-blowing confrontation, preferably with left-alone potential of actor Miles Teller, who had not once the chance to explore the dark side of the character of Peter in order to become the most hostile beast in part 3 "Allegiant" after the character of Jeanine gets shot in cold blood, keeping it movie historically speaking between Naomi Watts & Kate Winslet before the credits roll.The "Divergent" Series could have been more then just 2nd rate Science-Fiction in the years to come. The two involved Directors had been competent and researched enough to concentrate on a solid cast ready-to-go beyond the ordinary then dealing all-day long with demanding special effect departments, which in the case of Robert Schwentke made the conclusion sequence of "Allegiant" look like a unforgiving, draining flush of everything what had been built carefully out-going by Director Neil Burger's novel-translated character arcs for Tris, Four and Peter, which must have needed ultimately the inner core of a new generation clash between Shailene Woodley fighting off menacing Miles Teller and final second hit-rescuing Theo James to an surprisingly deep darkening score by Joseph Trapanese.© 2017 Felix Alexander Dausend (Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC)
