The "different" with the potential of multiple factions is said to be the enemy of the entire city. Whenever similar signs appear, they must be resolutely culled like a hamster. Therefore, there are several disagreement people with low IQ around Trace It just died unclearly. As a potential character who has something to do with the title, it is lighter than a feather to die like this.

"Divergent: Alien Awakening" Dystopia is a common subject in science fiction movies. Generally speaking, this kind of subject matter is nothing more than setting up various artificial rules and enclosing living people into various shackles in a cold frame, and then there must be representatives of the protagonist in the crowd who are unwilling to be restrained. Or actively or passively attack the restraints around him, and then discover more truth. The "Divergent" series is a typical example of such movies.  "Divergent: Alien Awakening" is the first in the entire "Divergent" series. Like most trilogy movies, the first one is responsible for describing and setting the basic framework of science fiction, step by step showing the most brain-burning rules of the audience: the crowds gathered in the tattered Chicago city are treated according to their genetic potential. They are divided into five factions that transcend family relationships. They are imprisoned by high walls. The people of each faction have a clear division of labor, and they work together to perform their duties, like five interlocking gears, to maintain the operation of the entire city. Of course, this setting is specifically designed to suppress free humanity and run counter to the complex human mind consciousness. So the heroine Tracey naturally discovered that she has multiple factions, so she concealed it and joined it. One of them, the Fearless faction, is training and preparing to participate in the security work of the city. However, the "different" who has the potential of multiple factions is said to be the enemy of the entire city. Whenever similar signs appear, they must be resolutely culled like a gopher. Therefore, there are several disagreements with low IQ around Tracey. The masses of people died unexplainably. As a potential character who has something to do with the title, it is lighter than a feather to die like this.  The male protagonist, Xiaosi, is a cold-faced young man with no special features from beginning to end, and his childhood abuse experience does not seem to have much to do with the theme of the film. After falling in love with the heroine, it was still a green leaf. He accidentally lost his nature like a gourd baby and found it again. It seems that the only purpose of his existence is to make up for the lack of female subject power. Heroine. Among the several positive roles, only one young man's natural youth and vigor supports them to resist the shackles of the rules, so they appear rather thin.  The test of the fearless party for newcomers is complicated and dangerous, but any action in the dream that does not meet the standard answer will be eliminated immediately, the lucky street becomes homeless and unaffiliated, and the bad luck will lose his life. The film spent a considerable length of time describing how Tracey and Xiaosi concealed and even took a mock exam in advance to try to pass the final assessment. However, after passing the thrilling and difficult to distinguish between the real and the reality, Ying What came to them was "accused": the strong soldiers of the fearless faction were suddenly controlled by the drugs of the villain behind the scenes, and they began to attack and slaughter other factions, and the setting of Triss and others as the disagreement finally played a magical role. . That’s right, as an alien that the entire city has been destroying, they can be uncontrollable, so they become the only force that can resist and expose the villain’s conspiracy. The two sides staged a decisive battle. In the end, the evil was overwhelming. Come.  I have to say that the plot arrangement in the second half of the film is relatively old-fashioned, and there must be a very ambitious villain on top of the mechanically operated society, who yearns for the expansion of power and the satisfaction of controlling everything, like Zuo Lengchan of the Five Mountains Sword School The same attempted to unify the other four factions, but I dominate, and the wording is similar to "I am for the good of everyone." Although such ambitions can create strong contradictions in a small environment like Chicago, this contradiction is as natural as a whirlpool in an unplugged bathtub, and it is not surprising.  Looking at the overall situation, the five major factions are the core and most brilliant settings in the whole movie. Unfortunately, like examination room composition is not suitable for writing long stories, due to the limited space of the movie, the five major factions only show the most basic social division of labor. Its characteristics, conflicts, etc. have not been deeply revealed, and have become the background for general mention. Moreover, the qualities shown by each main character do not meet the premise of belonging to only one faction, like the old lie of the honest school, fearlessness The faction can't give up family affection. In short, anyone who has a bit of drama seems to not buy the account divided by faction. As for the metaphorical roles of the five major factions in the real society, the benevolent sees the benevolent and the wise sees the wisdom: the five colors, the five elements, the five small strong, the workers, peasants, business, students, heart, liver, spleen, stomach and kidney, and even the United Nations Five Normals are not immune.  In terms of scenes and performance techniques, the film is particularly impressive in two aspects: First, Tracey conceals the attributes of the disagreement. After she resolutely chooses the Fearless Faction, all the newcomers who join the Fearless Faction rush out of the hall and run indulgently on the street. They climbed onto the railway bridge, ran along the tracks, jumped on the coming old train, and drove to the far end of the wall. In the accompaniment music, the unchanging monotonous drum beats and metal percussions repeated in a short changing rhythm, simple but The ruggedness strongly highlights the semi-optimistic and semi-blind atmosphere of young people leaving their families and officially walking towards the cruel reality without knowing it. The second is that Tracey took a high-altitude steel cable across Chicago. While overlooking the city, she spread her arms as she shuttled between the buildings, watching her shadow reflected in the skyscraper walls next to her.  At the end of the film, I thought it was a happy ending with the disagreement and a stand-over serf as the master. However, after a vain shot, Tracey and Xiao Si chose to hide their merit and fame and climbed onto the car that once brought them into the Fearless Faction. The dilapidated train fled to the edge of the city. It is understandable that even if the careerists who are trying to eliminate other factions are subdued, the strict division of factions still exists. As long as the leaders of the various factions still hold their positions, the disagreements will still be incompatible with the working people in this city. Roles. To truly change this city, perhaps you can only wait for the next sequel.  In the sound of the rumbling train, the hero and the heroine embraced each other deeply, while monologues, while gradually widening their vision. The camera passes over the dilapidated city, over the golden field, flying towards the huge wall at the end of the city in the sunset, jumping over the barbed wire fence of the strong barrier, and revealing a whole new world outside the city. ——The film comes to an abrupt end here, leaving the audience an unstoppable guess: what is it outside the city? Can the dissidents get out of Chicago and touch the world outside the city? They have broken the old rules and have been unable to hide themselves peacefully among the five major factions. How do they choose the way behind?  The film did not answer this series of questions. There is only one thing that can be determined. Young people still have a long way to go. Above the broken rules, there are higher-level rules that silently control everything. The wall is the proof.
