ENGLISH FOR ACADEMIC AND PROFESSIONAL PURPOSES

In the distant future, Chicago, a society cut off from the rest of America, is strictly
divided into five factions based on character traits. The Amity are happy, hippie farmers who
dress in shades of sorbet. The Candor run the judicial system and value truth about all else.
The Erudite are the serious-minded scholars who wear conservative, dark blue. The
Abnegation are known for their selflessness and modesty. And the pierced-and-tatted
Dauntless are the brave soldiers who protect the city. Beatrice “Tris” Prior (Shailene
Woodley), a sixteen year-old Abnegation-born, lives with her brother, Caleb (Ansel Elgort),
and their parents (Ashley Judd and Tony Goldwyn).
It is a regulation in their society that as each person enters adulthood, he or she must
undergo a government-sponsored personality test, choose a faction and commit to it for life.
Tris’ personality test reveals that she is a DIVERGENT which means that she doesn’t fit into
just one faction. After choosing to join Dauntless, Tris must survive a brutal and bloody
initiation process under the tutelage of her handsome, mysterious instructor Tobias “Four”
Eaton (Theo James) who is also a DIVERGENT. Together they discover that the Erudite, led by
Jeanine Matthews (Kate Winslet), plan to kill all Divergents and take control of the
government—unless Tris and Four can stop them.

Storyline= 10/10
Divergent revolves around
factions and how it is
created to stop the war
between people. This has
the same idea in Marxist
Communist where Max
stated that by eliminating
competition and inequality,
conflict would be prevented.
But the movie tells
otherwise because this
shows that there will always
be someone who will
transcend and those are the
DIVERGENTS.
Script=9/10
The overall script of the movie is well written and closely follows the
book; however, there are some lines that are so exaggerated and some
line in the movie doesn’t get much attention unlike in the book.
Editing=9/10
The editing and visual
effects are really cool. It
gives off a mystery and
exciting vibes to the
viewers. One of the best
editing scenes is the
scene where Tris’
thought came off the
screen while performing
the personality aptitude
test. The transitions are
so great that you would
be confused at a second
and then eventually get
the whole idea.
Cinematography=10/10
The camera angle doesn’t always follow the protagonist unlike the
other movie which is so cliché. It shows fascinating and interesting
view that the viewer can focuses and make them visually engaged.

Messages and Lessons=10/10
The movie taught us that we should always make decisions for
ourselves rather than letting the society dictate us. This movie shows
that being different means being brave. It will open the viewer’s mind
to the fact that we doesn’t always need to fit in the society.
