Janine, the leader of scholars, declares divergences to be dangerous criminals. Having organized a hunt for them, she is looking for the strongest in order to discover an artifact that was left by the founders of the colony. He can shed light not only on the past, but also explain where the divergences came from, why and how to build a bright future.
The director of “The Time Traveler’s Wife” and “The Illusion of Flight” knows exactly what the female half of the audience of cinemas needs, while he is able to twist 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 take the story from a different angle and further enhance the impact of cinema on the franchise.
The scriptwriters did not rewrite the chapters, but completely changed the concept. If in the book Janine is looking for divergences to create a weapon that no one can resist, then in the scenario the artifact took the main place. A favorite trick of filmmakers, when all the attention and the main plot is based on a riddle that is hidden, no matter what. The scriptwriters managed to simplify the plot with the help of this and at the same time complicate the construction of the story (thanks to which, the film has more vivid, memorable scenes). Also, thanks to the changes in the plot, the picture has become dramatically more balanced and complete. And the main character reflects less and takes up arms without consequences. True, despite all the efforts, the scriptwriters could not move away from the stereotyped and standard dialogues and scenes inherent in the genre.
Shailene Woodley and Theo James feel better about Tris and Four. They want to believe, although the chemistry between the characters is no longer there.
But Miles Teller, after his remarks about the first picture, decided to apologize and corrected himself. He plays well, and together with Ansel Elgort they occupy the whole humorous niche of the picture.
Ansel Elgortom, after the success of The Fault in the Stars, came to the liking of the producers and they gave him much more screen time in Insurgen than in the first part. They are strenuously trying to show him more domesticated and cultured than Four, but in the end he will have to enter the battle too.
Florian Ballhaus expanded the world that Alvin H. Kühler, operator of Divergent, opened to the audience. Ballhaus had to trick and show each faction in his own way, the creators paid great attention to detail, which makes the world of divergences even more real.
Joseph Trapanese wrote a breathtaking soundtrack that does not leave the audience until the end credits and amplifies all the emotional episodes at times.
Despite the fact that the second picture is very slightly inferior in duration to the first, it looks many times easier and calmer.
“Insurgent” is a picture that shows how the creators can carry out (if desired) work on errors, while leaving the field for continuation. When the film turns a very mediocre work by Veronica Roth into a blockbuster that will be of interest not only to fans of the divergent world, but also to those who just love to watch exciting stories on the big screen.
