Evaluating The Movie 'Divergent'

All in all there were many things different about the book compared to the movie.

For instance, in the book Joppy knew Albright; Albright knew Todd Carter; Todd Carter knew Richard McGee as well as Matthew Terrell whereas in the movie every character denied knowing each other except Albright and Joppy. Another noticeable difference is that in the book Frank Green, Daphne’s brother ends up murdered and in the movie he lives and they both end up moving. The third noticeable difference is a character name change from the book to the movie; Matthew Teran in the book is Matthew Terrell in the movie and he ends up being murdered in the book whereas at the end of the movie he’s running for mayor. A fourth noticeable difference is the pier scene. In the book Albright and Easy meet at the Santa Monica pier and in the movie it is the Malibu pier. And the last most noticeable difference between the book and the movie is that Mouse knows Daphne Monet or shall we call her by her real name Ruby Hanks; however, in the movie the audience never finds that out. In the movie the only true thing you get to know about Daphne is that she is both black and white. Therefore, due to the many differences between the book and the movie it is confusing to the audience since it is almost like dealing with two different stories because of the plot inconsistencies.

Divergent is a dystopian novel that takes place in a futuristic Chicago. The setting also looks like a perfect Utopia, but as you go on reading you find out that it has a lot of problems. In the novel there was a war that was caused by differences in people's ideologies. The war caused Chicago to be divided into five factions. Each faction has a virtue which they value and cultivate. The five factions are Abnegation, Amity, Candor, Dauntless, and Erudite. The Abnegation faction values selflessness, the Amity peace, the Candor honesty, the Dauntless bravery, and the Erudite intelligence. Throughout the novel the main character is Tris which was born in Abnegation and chose to go to the Dauntless faction. Chicago in the novel is governed by a group of people from

Despite having many differences the film remains faithful in capturing the novel and putting on film. While one may not get everything from the movie as from the book, the majority of it is there. So for die hard fans of the book there is no need for disappointment. All the main parts of the book are there, the characters, the plot, the setting

My two novels, Divergent and The Maze Runner, have many similarities that I would like to discuss. Firstly, both novels focused on being thrust into a brand new world that the characters were not used to. Thomas(The Maze Runner protagonist)started off the book with him waking up inside of a cargo box, traveling upwards at an incredibly high speed, and with only the memory of his name. When Tris decided to join the Dauntless, she immediately had to adapt and change, from jumping from trains and buildings to fighting someone until submission or decommission. To add onto that, despite being both unfamiliar with their new lives, they were able to adapt fairly quickly with Tris being first in the second and third round of initiation, and

The actual production of the Divergent movie and the book are very different, but also similar. After a book goes through its process of writing, editing, and publishing, all you need to do is to have book stores sell your books. When producing a movie, you need to write a script, cast the actors in the movie, give them time to read over the script, and then finally start shooting. Although, both always have a connection with the author of the book. When a director wants to produce a movie, the author is somehow weaved into the process of the movie.

Finally there are lots of differences between the book and the movie. They also show that the movie was a lot weaker then then the book. I can see the movies aren't always better than the books. The books go more into detail than the movie. I enjoined the movie because it is more visual. The book was a little

In the movie Divergent, there are three major themes that really stick out to people. Those three themes are; identity, social conformity, and love. There are some detailed reasons as to why these three specific things are the themes. Tris, the main character, goes through quite the hard times throughout both the book and the movie and she learns quite a lot about all three of these things, where as it could teach these things to the audience too, if you put yourself in Tris's place or compared it to your own life.

One of the hardest things for a director to do is to turn a book into a movie. There is a fine line between keeping the movie just like the book, and by barely crossing that line you can end up making a completely different vision than the book has set out for you. There are also many viewers out there that will completely hate the movie if it is nothing like the book that they read originally. The director has to realize that although there are many different types of audiences to please, that it still has to be a great movie that people cannot stop talking about.

The setting of Divergent is future Chicago, Illinois. The city is split into five factions, Abnegation, Candor, Amity, Erudite and Dauntless. The setting does impact the characters in their choices. Due to the city being split up, factions fight each other for power. This creates the conflict, but, thanks to Beatrice and Tobias, they saved almost everybody. The setting did not impact the resolution compared to the conflict.

When Ender was playing the giants game, many key aspects were missing such as the wolf children and the playground. These messed up the storyline a bit because when Ender at the end was going to find the real castle, none of these aspects were included. Another very drastic change was how long Ender was at battle school. The whole training took around 7 months as opposed to 5 years in the book. Also, because they left all of this time out, Ender skipped many armies. Therefore, we were never introduced to Rose the Nose. At the end of the book, the bugger queen talked straight to Ender which never happened in the book. Speaker of the Dead was mentioned once by Mazer Rackham in the movie, where in the book there was much more explained about it. One of the biggest differences was what they called the buggers in the movie. In the movie, the buggers were called formics instead. Locke and Demontheses were never featured in the movie at all, which is a large missing detail that should've been in the movie. These missing details made me think twice about what was happening in the movie as opposed to the

We see in the movie that the directors had to make many changes. The changes usually included cutting non important scenes, for the book was to long to keep everything in. I feel that they picked correctly with most of the scenes, but I do think that some scenes were important enough to get in. While dropping some scenes they also dropped some important characters and themes, some I believe were essential in the book.

The main character in the book Divergent is a girl named Beatrice. Beatrice is developed throughout the book by having to do things that push her out of her comfort zone. Beatrice was born in the faction of Abnegation, where everything is simple and alike. Abnegation values selflessness, but Beatrice doesn’t feel like she is selfless. She decides to change to the faction of Dauntless, who values courage. Beatrice has to do things like jump off trains, and fight people to show she is courageous. She decides to start going byTris, because Beatrice won’t fit in with the dauntless. When Beatrice makes the decision to be a dauntless she says “My fathers eyes burn into mine with a look of accusation’. This is because it was selfish of

Harry Potter has lots of differences between the movies and books. Even if they may appear similar on the surface, they are very dissimilar once you look beyond the outer similarities. The best movie/book to contrast is the first movie of the deathly hallows and the book, mainly because it has the greatest similarities between the book and the movies. The possible reason why the movie has the least amount of major differences is because, It was split into two parts which allowed it to remain more loyal to the original text. There are ten differences between them but there are some noticeable differences which do not contract very much from the overall quality of the movie.

In this movie, they take out many parts from the book. This does not necessarily change a lot of the initial concepts but it has an effect. When something is taken out, like a suicide attempt, it takes the intensity out of the movie that was received from the book. Though the movie teaches the lesson that the book does, it does not have the strength it did as in the book. That connect people get from reading
