After the plot organized
by Jeanine Matthews all the members of Abnegation and Dauntless run
to Amity looking for help. Amity told them that they can
stay as long as they keep the peace. To Tris’ ears arrives the
information that the Erudite attacked Abnegation because they want
some secret information that they had. Tobias's mom (Evelyn)
apparently isn't dead after all, she ran away from Abnegation. In a
private conversation between Evelyn and Tris, Evelyn calls her a
"temporary fixture" in Tobias' life, while she his family.
Tobias's mom tells her son her plans for a factionless revolution.
Tris
wants discover what is the secret that Abnegation hide and why
Jeanine wants it. She also doesn’t like Evelyn’s plan to control
the factions, she thinks that Evelyn is a bit like Jeanine.
The
Erudite attack the divergent people and start to experiment with
them, and so with our protagonist, Tris.
With
the factionless’ help Tobias is able to rescue Tris from Erudite
and with her help they show to all the people the secret that
Abnegation got. This makes an amazing change in the society.
Insurgent
is a book full of action that you will love at the moment you start
reading it. The end of the book shows a new shocking reality of the
world where Tris and Four have been living. The Divergent saga is a
series of books that definitely you get caught instantly.
Well, now it´s time to
talk a little about the movie.

Firstly,
this cannot be called a “book adaptation” I may call it a “movie
that is based on a book” as long as it is
a very very loose adaptation of Veronica
Roth's
novel, which contains a vastly different plot.
There
are drastic changes in the movie that shouldn´t have taken place,
one that all the book fans have notice on the trailer before the film
came out is the fact that in the book, Tris is unable to hold a gun
in her hands because of what happened to Will (she had to kill him on
self defense) but in the film she uses them confidently. This can
seem to have nothing to change but it does, it changes the essence of
the character, her principles and her inner thoughts.
Other
changes that were criticized on the social media where: the box with
the message that only Divergents can open through simulations ,
neither the box or the simulations are featured in the book, instead
the message is found on Jeanine's computer, which is hard to access.
The absence of important characters like Zeke Pedrad (Uriah´s older
brother) who has a very important role and the changes of the places
where relevant things occur.
But,
if you go to the theaters to watch the movie just as a movie not as
an adaptation you will find a thrilling science fiction movie with a
non-stop action movement around the dystopian Chicago where our
principal characters have to deal with the civil war they´re getting
into and all the new information they are finding, all with a
soundtrack that, personally, made me had goosebumps at some parts of
the movie.
