Plot

edit

In a futuristicdystopianChicago,society has been divided into fivefactions:Abnegation (the selfless), Amity (the kind), Candor (the honest), Dauntless (the brave), and Erudite (the intelligent). The remaining population, called the Factionless, have no status or privilege. Upon turning sixteen, children undergo aserum-inducedpsychologicalaptitudetest, which informs them of their best-suited faction, but can choose any as their permanent group at the subsequent Choosing Ceremony.

Sixteen-year-old Beatrice Prior was born and raised into Abnegation, which runs the government. Her father, Andrew, serves on the ruling council along with Abnegation's leader, Marcus Eaton. After her test results show equal attributes of multiple factions- Abnegation, Erudite, and Dauntless- making her Divergent, herproctorTori Wu, a Dauntless woman, records her results as Abnegation. She warns her to conceal her true results; as Divergents can think independently and sense any serums injected into them, the government feels they threaten the existing social order.

The next day, at the Choosing Ceremony, Beatrice's brother Caleb chooses Erudite, while, after some hesitation, she chooses Dauntless. Afterwards, she meets Christina, Al, and Will, three other faction transfers to Dauntless. Christina and Al are from Candor, and Will is from Erudite.

Eric Coulter, a brutal Dauntless leader, reminds the initiates that anyone not meeting the faction's high expectations of commitment and fearlessness will become Factionless. Beatrice volunteers to jump from a tall building into a dark hole and lands into a net. When Four, a transfer initiates' instructor, asks her name, she shortens it to "Tris", shedding her earlier identity.

Tris initially struggles in Dauntless training and ranks far below the cutoff after the first evaluation, but with Four's help, she slowly improves. Eric matches her against her nemesis, Candor transfer Peter Hayes, in a fight, which ends with Tris' defeat and recovery in the infirmary.

Unwilling to miss the most important test, Capture the Flag, she leaves the infirmary, joins the other initiates, secures her team's victory, and makes the final cut. In the next phase of training, the initiates face their worst fears in psychological simulations. Tris's divergence allows her to creatively solve the tests, but Four warns her to hide her abilities and solve them as a normal Dauntless would.

Tris visits Caleb, who tells her that Erudite plans to overthrow Abnegation. When she returns, Al, Peter, and their fellow Candor transfer Drew attack her, but Four rescues her. The next day, Al begs Tris to forgive him but she refuses and calls him a coward. He later kills himself by jumping into "The Pit", rather than live with the shame.

To prepare her for the final test, Four takes Tris into his own fear simulations, where she learns he is Tobias Eaton, and his father Marcus used to beat him as a child. Tris then passes her test and officially joins Dauntless. The Dauntless recruits are injected with a serum from Erudite, supposedly for tracking but actually formind control.

The next morning, the Dauntless prepare to execute Abnegation under Erudite's orders. As the serum fails on Divergents, Tris must blend in to avoid suspicion. She finds Four, who reveals himself to also be Divergent. When the Dauntless move to raid Abnegation, they separate from the group and attempt to locate Tris's parents. However, Eric realizes Four is not under control so captures both of them, taking Four into custody and ordering Tris'sexecution.Her mother Natalie, who reveals herself to be a former Dauntless, appears and saves her but is shot and killed later on as they attempt to escape.

Tris finds her father hiding with Caleb, Marcus, and several Abnegation members. The group sneaks into Dauntless headquarters, where Tris encounters Peter and forces him to lead them to Erudite's control center. Her father sacrifices himself in ashootout,so Tris goes in alone to find Four, who is now under stronger mind control designed for Divergents.

Knowing Four's fears, Tris manages to wake him from the mind control, and both enter the central control room, where Erudite's leader Jeanine Matthews has Dauntless execute nearly the entire Abnegation faction. Tris uses a sample of the mind control serum on her to force her to cancel the program. The group escapes the compound and boards a train out of the complex.

Production

edit

Pre-production

edit

In March 2011,Summit Entertainmentpicked up the rights forDivergentwithDouglas Wickand Lucy Fisher's production company Red Wagon Entertainment.[12]Neil Burgerwas announced as the director on August 23, 2012.[13]Evan Daugherty,who co-wrote the screenplay withVanessa Taylor,said, "I get hung up on the toughness of the movie but of equal importance is the love story between Tris and Four. It's inherently and inextricably linked to Tris's character journey. There will be plenty of sexual tension and chemistry, but it's important that all of that stuff doesn't just feel like it's thrown in, but that it all helps Tris grow as a character."[14]

Daugherty further added, "It's tricky because the book is a very packed read with a lot of big ideas. So, distilling that into a cool, faithful two-hour movie is challenging. Not only do you have to establish five factions, but you have to acknowledge that there's a sixth entity, which is the divergent, and you also have the factionless. So there's a world that really has to be built out for the big screen... the movie is going to do it a little more efficiently."[15]AuthorVeronica Rothsaid about script of the film, "Reading a script is a really interesting experience. I'd never read a script before. I was really impressed by how closely it stuck to the general plot line of the book."[16]

Initially, the budget of the film was $40 million butLionsgatelater increased it to $80 million (which finally changed to $85 million) due to the success ofThe Hunger Games.Analyst Ben Mogil said, "Divergent is more similar toHunger Gamesin that the company owns the underlying economics (i.e. production) and the budget (at $80[million]) is more manageable. "[17]

Casting

edit

On October 22, 2012, it was announced thatShailene Woodleyhad landed the lead role of Beatrice "Tris" Prior.[18]Lucas Till,Jack Reynor,Jeremy Irvine,Alex Pettyfer,Brenton Thwaites,Alexander LudwigandLuke Braceywere all considered for the role of Tobias "Four" Eaton.[19][20]On March 15, 2013, it was announced thatTheo Jameshad been cast as Four.[21]

Although James was 10 years older than his character when cast, Roth praised his casting: "I was sure within seconds: this was 'Four', no question. Theo is able to capture 'Four's' authority and strength, as well as his depth and sensitivity." She also mentions the chemistry between him and Shailene: "He is a perfect match for Shailene's incredibly strong presence as Tris. I'm thrilled!"[22]The producers said about his casting: "We took our time to find the right actor to fill the role of Four, and Theo is definitely the perfect fit. Veronica has crafted a truly iconic character in Four and we cannot wait to begin production and bring him and this story to life for millions of fans around the world."[21]

On March 11, 2013, it was announced that the roles of Tori, Christina, and Caleb had gone toMaggie Q,Zoë Kravitz,andAnsel Elgortrespectively.[23]Ray Stevenson,Jai CourtneyandAaron Eckhartwere announced to be in talks to join the cast on March 15, 2013.[24]Stevenson and Courtney joined the cast as Marcus Eaton and Eric.[25]That same day,Miles Tellerwas cast as Peter.[26]Kate Winsletwas announced to be in talks on January 24, 2013.[27]Later, it was confirmed that she would portray Jeanine Matthews.[28]

Talking about playing the negative character for the first time, Winslet said, "I'm no idiot. The idea went through my head that I have never played a baddie before, I was almost kind of surprised." Since Winslet joined filming late, she used that distance from her co-stars to appear aloof on the first day of her shoot. "I wanted to break it and say, 'It's OK, I'm really fun. I promise.' But I thought, just for today, I'd let them think that I am a complete bitch."[29]

Winslet was five months pregnant during the shooting of the film and her pregnancy was concealed using various props. According to Burger, "We had to be very strategic in the way that we shot her. She always had some sort of file or case in her hand that was sort of protecting, you know, her bump."[30]On March 25, 2013,Ben Lambwas cast as Edward,Ben Lloyd-Hughesas Will, andChristian Madsenas Al.[31]In April 2013,Ashley JuddandTony Goldwynjoined the cast as Natalie and Andrew Prior, Beatrice's parents.[32][33]

Critical response

edit

Divergentreceived mixed reviews from critics. Review aggregatorRotten Tomatoesgives the film an approval rating of 41% based on 238 reviews, with an average rating of 5.40/10. The site's critical consensus reads, "With an adherence to YA formula that undercuts its individualistic message,Divergentopens its planned trilogy in disappointingly predictable fashion. "[87]Metacriticgives the film a score of 48 out of 100, based on 38 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[88]Audiences surveyed by CinemaScore were more receptive to the film, giving it a CinemaScore grade of "A". The survey group was 69% female, and half was over 25.[89][90]

The main criticisms of the film were its generic execution and predictable plot.[91][92]Bruce Diones ofThe New Yorkercalled it "barely diverting",[93]and Jordan Adler ofWe Got This Coveredsaid it was a "plodding and generic dystopian drama".[94]Several critics have compared the film unfavorably with otheryoung adult fictionadaptations such asHarry Potterand, predominantly,The Hunger Games.Andrew Barker ofVarietysaid, "Unlike theHarry Potterseries' tangible, fully dimensional Hogwarts orThe Hunger Games'colorfully variegated districts,Divergent's vision of new Chicago doesn't have much to distinguish it from a standard-issue post-apocalyptic pic. "[95]Peter TraversofRolling Stonewrote that, "At leastThe Hunger Gamesspawned two terrific movies and a breakthrough star inJennifer Lawrence.Onscreen,Divergentignites only indifference. "[96]

Peter Debruge ofVarietyconsidered it a much better adaptation writing that, "[although] it shares a fair amount of DNA in common withThe Hunger Games,it ranks as far superior ".[97]According to Todd Gilchrist ofThe Playlist,"Woodley makes for more than uncertain enough of a hero to add detail and meaning to the implosion of this world", adding that "there's little artifice to her performance, and the mundane honesty of her reactions create a believability that the world would otherwise lack." About James's performance, Gilchrist adds that he "manages the considerable accomplishment of seeming like a real grown-up man" and that he "makes the character's transformation from hardass to collaborator seem natural, if inevitable".[98]Drew McWeeny atHitFixsaid, "it helps that [they] got Woodley and James in the leads. [Woodley's] like a walking empathy battery, wide-open emotionally, easy to read and enormously appealing", also adding that James is "incredibly natural onscreen".[99]

Andrew Osmond ofSFXmagazine was more receptive to the film, calling it "an often entertaining, and sometimes very interesting, piece of teen SF".[100]Orlando Weekly's Sam Allard gave the film a 3/5 rating, praising Shailene Woodley's performance by saying she "rescues and then raises up a film that could have been an utter disaster".[101]Christy Lemire ofRogerEbertagreed with this sentiment, writing, "the performances—namely from stars Shailene Woodley and Theo James and Kate Winslet in a juicy supporting role—always make the movie watchable and often quite engaging".[102]

Michael O'Sullivan ofThe Washington Postfelt that the film surpassed its source material, feeling that "it's rare that a movie is as good as the book on which it's based. It's even more unusual when it's better."[103]Leigh Paatsch of theHerald Sundubbed the film a "solid first-up effort for theDivergentfranchise ",[104]and Margaret Pomeranz ofAt the Moviesgave praise to director Neil Burger, stating that he "handles the action with aplomb".[105]

The Playlist's Todd Gilchrist gave it a mixed review saying that it has "great ideas... and some terrific character work, but it's given such uneven attention, alternately languished upon and glossed over".[98]IGN's Matt Patches gave it 5.8 out of 10, citing its similarities to other young adult films and contrived Dauntless plot line. He praised lead actors Theo James and Shailene Woodley's performances, judging that they "add personality and physicality to the limp script they're acting out".[106]Scott Mendelson ofForbesmagazine echoed these sentiments, arguing that despite Woodley's excellent performance, "the generic story reduced a large portion of the mythology to irrelevancy". Mendelson believed that the film would please the novel's fanbase.[107]
