The big question that popped in my head after watching Divergent - is life expectancy that bad in Dauntless faction? Why? It's because I didn't see any old people in Dauntless throughout the movie, while there are older people in other factions, just except Dauntless. I know fear is arguably what keeping us alive, keeping us away from all sort potential dangers. Being fearless can cost your life. May be that is why nobody lives beyond 40 years old in Dauntless.
Anyway at start, I had not much confidence in this movie. Judging by the not-so-appealing trailer, this is yet another film adaptation from teen book, just like Hunger Games, Twilight and Harry Potter. But after watching a few good reviews about it on Youtube, it seemed to be not so bad.
In fact, it is actually not so bad afterall. It doesn't mean it's superbe or anything, it's just an above-average movie. For me, the fact that Shailene Woodley is playing the protagonist gives a slight edge to the movie. She is also another reason why I wanted to watch Divergent, and also Ansel Ergort, and Miles Teller. She had a great chemistry with Miles Teller in Spectacular Now, a really good movie. She is also going to play Hazel with Ansel as Augustus in the coming soon TFIOS, and I am a big fan of TFIOS book. Too bad, both Ansel and Miles only have relatively small roles in Divergent.
By now, you can say that I am a fan of Shailene. Probably quite true. Among the current "goddesses" of internet, I mean Emma Watson, Jennifer Lawrence, etc., I really prefer seeing Shailene on screen. She has a nice smile, very cheerful with a slight touch of shyness. I don't know whether my description is correct, but her smile certainly makes me want to smile too.
So far, all the movies she acted in have been decently good. Hope that she rocks the role of Hazel.
