Let the truth set you free. I watched the film at the press screening in the cinema "Karo 11 October".
We are not a problem but a solution (c)
The head of polymaths Janine declares divergents dangerous criminals. After organizing a hunt for them, she searches for the strongest to discover an artifact that was left behind by the founders of the colony. It can shed light not only on the past, but also explain where the divergents came from, why and how to build a brighter future.
The director of “Wives of a Time Traveler” and “Illusions of Flight” knows exactly what the female half of the theater audience needs, while he is able to spin it and present it so that the male half can be safely taken into the hall. Robert Schwentke, unlike his predecessor, Neil Berger, could afford not to dwell on the introduction for a long time and not to reshoot the book page by page. The producers allowed him and a group of new writers to present the story from a different angle and further strengthen the influence of cinema on the franchise.
The authors of the script did not rewrite the chapters, but completely changed the concept. If in the book, Janine is looking for divergents to create weapons that no one can resist, then in the script, the artifact took the main place. Favorite filmmakers trick, when all attention and the main plot is built on a mystery that is hidden, no matter what. The writers managed to simplify the plot and at the same time complicate the construction of the story (thanks to what, the picture became more vivid, memorable scenes). Also, thanks to changes in the plot, the picture has become dramatically more verified and whole. And the main character is less reflective and without consequences takes up arms. However, despite all the efforts, from the template and standard dialogues and scenes inherent in the genre, the scriptwriters could not depart.
Shailene Woodley and Theo James began to feel more like Tris and Four. They want to believe, although the chemistry between the characters has ceased.
But Miles Teller, after his statements about the first picture, decided to apologize and corrected himself. He plays perfectly, and together with Ansel Elgort, they occupy the entire humorous niche of the picture.
Ansel Elgortom after the success of “The Fault in the Stars” fell to the taste of the producers and they gave him in “Insurgent” much more screen time than in the first part. They are trying hard to show him more domesticated and cultured than the Four, but in the end he will have to enter the fight.
Florian Ballahouse expanded the world that Alvin H. Küchler, the cameraman of Divergent, opened to viewers. Ballahaus had to trick and show each faction in their own way, the creators paid great attention to detail, which makes the world of divergents even more real.
Joseph Trapanese wrote an exciting soundtrack that does not leave the audience until the final credits and at times enhances all emotional episodes.
Despite the fact that the second picture is slightly inferior in duration to the first, it looks much easier and calmer.
“Insurgent” is a picture that shows how creators can (if desired) work on errors, while leaving the field of activity for continuations. When the film turns a very mediocre work of Veronica Roth into a blockbuster, which will be interesting not only for fans of the divergent world, but also for those who just like to watch exciting stories on the big screen.
