Divergent: movie description
The events in the film take place in post-war Chicago. Now the population is divided into five fractions: “Renunciation”, “Friendliness”, “Fearlessness”, “Sincerity” and “Erudite”. Every child at 16 years of age must decide what society he will fall into. In order for this choice to be justified, a test is carried out, but the teenager has the right to decide for himself.
The main character, whose name is Beatrice Prior, during the test, understands that she belongs to three factions at once. This can be, but very rarely, and such people are called divergents. In life they are persecuted and killed, because they think outside the box and are not able to obey. At the initiation, Beatrice is tormented by doubts about what to choose, but stops at Fearlessness.
In the new team, the girl introduces herself as Tris. Getting started is very difficult. After losing a couple of fights, she drops out of the faction. But at the last moment, he still achieves the respect of the coaches and comes back. Surprisingly, the girl copes better than the others, which begins to alert Faur. In fact, as the actors of the film "Divergent" admitted, this part of the film was given to them the most difficult.
One day, when Tris was returning home to the faction, several people decided to beat her and dump her in the Pit. However, the trainer appears on time and saves her. Fore, realizing that she is a divergent, offers to practice before the last test and learn to overcome his fears, as fearless.
At the final test, all the wards are implanted not with a tracking sensor, but with a modeling serum, with which it is easy to manage people. Tris is a divergent, so this solution had no effect on it. As it turned out later, Faure also pretended to be controlled.
The girl and the coach tried to free themselves, but as a result, the heroine is ordered to eliminate, and the guy is taken away. Beatrice is saved thanks to her mother, who is subsequently killed.
Having made her way to the center, which controlled all fearless, the girl finds Fora, who was under the serum. After several fights, the guy nevertheless comes to his senses and helps to neutralize the guard. The simulation program has been erased, and everyone comes to their senses.
Universe
“Divergent” is a film (actors and roles are presented below) in which all people are divided into fractions in order to do what they really do. Each of them is assigned its own specific function, there are also outcasts - those people who either did not fit a single fraction, or failed to cope with their duties and dropped out.
- "Erudition". A faction that specializes in intelligence and knowledge. Strongly competes with the “Renunciation”. A blue item must be present in the clothing.
- "Sincerity or Belief." The main tones of the fraction are black and white. Due to the fact that they consider the members of "Friendliness" duplicitous, compete with them.
- "Fearlessness or Dashing." This fraction is for those who are not afraid of their fears and who can overcome their cowardice. They wear mostly black clothes, get tattoos and do piercings.
