There’s a lot of talk about a movie called “Divergent.” To me, it looks like a movie that would have the same audience as Hunger Games, but what do I know? I never read the books or saw that movie either.
Divergent is the story of a girl named Tris Prior. She learns she’s different and won’t ever fit in with the rest of society. There is a plot to kill her and the others who are categorized with others as being “Divergent”.
This futuristic scifi story shows society divided into five factions, each of which represents a different virtues. Teens, for example, must decide whether its best to stay in that faction or change, but if they do change, there’s no looking back.
Tris Prior undergoes some special and intence physical and psychological tests where she and others discover that she is in fact a Divergent, which means she doesn’t fit into one of the five categories.
Prior has a tough decision to make in regards as to whether or not to reveal her secret, but if she does so at the wrong time and place, it could mean the end of her family.
She is played by Shailene Woodley. Other stars appearing in the movie are Theo James, Kate Winslet, Ray Stevenson, Ashley Judd, Casimere Jollette and others.
