Trends films
adapted from novels Young Adult is not a new thing. Franchise. Harry Potter for
example, has been around since 2001. However, this trend is starting to get
really noticed by Hollywood since the advent of Twilight in the 2008 first (as
Harry Potter in the early books geared more for children than adolescents).
Twilight is a big success spliced with The Hunger Games makes the Hollywood
studios directly adapting a wide range of Young Adult novels to the big screen.
Unfortunately most of them failed in the market because it is considered merely
as a copycat of the two novels above and because their fanbase is not up to
Twilight and The Hunger Games.It's different things for Divergent. Because distributed by Lionsgate studios (already acquired studio Summit) is responsible for two hit Young Adult, they knew exactly how the right marketing. With social media, using the artist which was rising (Shailene Woodley), Divergent changes than just an adaptation of Young Adult else to be the next The Hunger Games to look forward to. How did it go?
Each child will
be born in every clan but in adulthood may choose to clan where they will go.
And Beatrice is Abegnation a troubled child. Upset because he will soon choose
his new clan destination. During this time he never felt suited to live in
Abegnation clan. Beatrice is desired by moving to another clan but he is also
afraid of leaving parents and sister. Understandably, if you have selected
another clan you can not freely go back to your old clan anytime. When tested,
however Tris get a surprise that he was not human.Please visit here
If the common
man has a strong nature, Beatrice has three. He is a special category called
Divergent. Since it is considered an abnormal and can not be controlled (read:
new world order harm) Beatrice his life as Divergent. He chose to enter into a
Dauntless and meet handsome instructor named Four (with whom he quickly falls
in love with him). Is Beatrice could find its place in the social order of this
world?
Before watching
this movie I've read the novel Divergent and tend to vote for granted. The
concept is quite unique (not original) divides people based on five properties
but the execution is written by Veronica Roth weak. You know the four basic
human nature: sangguin, melancholy, kolerik, and plegmatik? Do you know why now
it's human nature difficult to wear even been abandoned? That's because humans
basically can not be categorized in one nature. They impose only have one trait
will only make them become stressed and will eventually burst the rage. In
other words: the concept of keeping the peace by dividing human nature in the
categories they have first one because basically every human being is a
Divergent.
My second
problem in the novel is the nature of the Dauntless. Mentioned that they are
not afraid of the brave clan but what they do throughout the novel is more
precisely called sloppy and stupid. There is a dividing line being reckless and
stupid or being brave and Dauntless repeatedly pass through the barrier, making
them more like a clan whose life is spent watching Jackass movie and then
replicate it in real life.
Neil Burger not
new in the world of sci-fi because it never used to direct a film Limitless.
Burger proves that he does have the capacity to direct a blockbuster movie
where he successfully turn the dystopian atmosphere in this film. The world is
occupied by Beatrice may seem safe in it but the occasional burger and
highlight interesting camera distance - the human ignorance of what lies beyond
their residence. Residence of the Dauntless also has its own characteristics
different from the residence of the other clans. Given this new book, the first
of three new factions are unearthed, but others will follow factions dug in
next.
Shailene Woodley
could become the next Jennifer Lawrence. By selecting kejeliannya alternating
between dramatic roles and blockbusters like he has the potential to be the
teen idol. Woodley appearance here is similar to how I imagine Tris from his
novel. Woodley is good again for he could mendownplay Tris several properties
that sucks from his novel. Theo James as the partner unfortunately less able to
compensate. He may not appear bad but he spent almost the entire first movie
brooding (snatch and ass cool). I think teenage girl may like a look like that.
I do not know.
Two other actors
who appeared as a supporting character that is important in this film is Jai
Courtney and Miles Teller. Courtney apparently on the rise. Many times he was
involved in a high profile project after the first breakout at Jack Reacher in
2012 ago. Unfortunately the human acting is so-so only. He fits in well appear
to be an actor who sucks with no depth of emotion. On the other hand surprised
Miles Teller as Woodley. Both duet drain my emotions in The Spectacular Now and
ability Teller changed from being a sympathetic figure who is super annoying
surprise. I wait for later transformation into Mr. Fantastic in Fantastic Four
reboot.
One disappointing thing for me is
how Divergent wasted senior casting this film. Starting from Kate Winslet,
Maggie Q, until Ashley Judd all wasted by appearance only piecemeal. Winslet is
very disappointing mainly because even though his performance is greater than
the other senior artists he failed to present himself as a memorable figure.
When compared with Donald Sutherland or Phillip Seymour-Hoffman in The Hunger
Games it is indeed still far.
So my conclusion is ... apart
from slight weakness Divergent movie is actually one of the best adapt of Young
Adult novels that I watched on the big screen. Unfortunately ordinary novel
itself so that the results I was watching on the screen can not be more than
just good ... but not exceptional.
