Divergent Movie / Book


As you know yesterday was the premiere of Divergent movie at LA.
The Veronica Roth's book is a hit and everyone want a piece of it.
So let go look a synopsis of all of it, just we?

In Tris' world (still referred to as Chicago), the government maintains the peace by forcing 16-year-olds to choose to live in one of five communities based on their personalities. The smartest cultivate their talents in the Erudites, for example. Well, let's just list them all: The brave Dauntless group police the city; the Abnegation are selfless; the Amity group are peaceful; and the Candors are honest. Each teen is born into one particular "faction," but must still take a placement test that's intended to nudge them in the right direction. Factionless? Then prepare to live in blue-collar, low-income hell.
But during Tris' test, she learns that she is uniquely Divergent: She fits into more than one group because she's a non-conformist. A threat to the world order, her technician (Maggie Q) warns her that she can't tell a soul about her secret. Not her parents (Ashley Judd and Tony Goldwyn, members of the Abnegation). Not her brother (a new Erudite member). And certainly not the villainous Jeanine Matthews (Kate Winslet), the Erudite leader who greets Tris at the Choosing Ceremony with a warmly cold smile and barely masks her contempt for any free thinker. Ah no, the symbolism isn't subtle. That's OK.
The annual Choosing Ceremony is supposed to be highly dramatic, with each teen solemnly picking a faction by cutting themselves with a blade and squeezing a few drops of blood in one of five bowls. But what's the point of the placement test if the teens can overrule the results anyway? And if everyone is able to choose their factions, why are all the parents in anguish? Why don't their kids just tell them in advance? And why don't the kids just stay with their parents? For that matter, aren't selflessness and peacefulness a little too similar?
So you really need to read the book or go to the nearest movie theatre next to you to see what's going on.

By the way ... Shailene Woodley wore ELIE SAAB Haute Couture to the premiere of 'Divergent' wasn't she stunning?
I just loved her look ... From toe to hair.
