Step inside the Pitch Meeting that led to the original Divergent!
Subscribe for more Pitch Meetings: / @pitchmeetings
With movies based on YA novels like The Hunger Games, The Maze Runner, Twilight and Harry Potter doing great at the box office for years, you can’t really blame Lionsgate for trying to recapture that magic with Divergent. Did they success? Hey, no.
Divergent definitely raises some questions. Like what’s with the big weird age gap between Tris and Four? What happens is Four gets scared of something new? What’s with the whole testing ceremony? Why eliminate people if you’re just trying to build a mind-controlled army? How exactly does that mind control stuff work anyway?
To answer all these questions, check out the pitch meeting that led to Divergent!

The books are supposed to be a general reflection on the interconnection of evil and its solution. Tris isn't actually special, she is biologically a normal girl. (To us.) Divergence is actually regular brain chemistry. The "regular" population of the series had their D.N.A. altered so that they had a proclivity towards ONE type of solution to life's problems. The serum can suspend upper level mental functions because Dauntless minds all share the same mental architecture. Tris uses chemical love as a way to rewire Four's mental architecture so that the serum no longer works. Also, it's a Y.A. novel.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA If he already loved her, then his brain would already have changed. She telling HIM that SHE loves him, wouldn't change HIS brain "architecture". You should have started and stopped at " it's a Y.A. novel".

@Skyhigh91100 2 ай бұрын

@@92brunodyes that’s the unrealistic part, not the original “they rewired everyone’s brains to work differently” thing. It’s fiction, not science fiction. The goal is to tell a story, not create a realistic alternate reality. The explanation provided above at least keeps the internal logic of the story consistent, so that’s enough of an explanation for the story to function.

@VitaminCBable 2 ай бұрын

@92brunod it's quite difficult to prove that there is no chemical change within another person due to experience- but that's not the argument I was making. Mental architecture is the process through which a brain experiences and builds itself to accommodate the world around us. Theoretically, the technology in Divergent COULD exist as long as we could map predictable routes within the human mind. (Serums) Rereading my comment, I can understand why you seem confused. The study of the development of the human mind is quite complex, to say the least.

In Divergent, people play a video game at age 16 to do a little magazine personality quiz that tells them what cult to hang out with for the rest of their lives: choices are Hippie, Fraternity, Laws?, Amish, and Supervillain. Because all the nerds are in Supervillain, frat bros punching nerds is unquestionably morally correct. No one knows how to repair buildings but neuroscience has advanced to the point that Scarecrow's fear toxin is mass-distributed for basically recreational purposes. Also for some reason guns are wildly unpredictable the closer two combatants are to each other.

About Tris breaking the curse. I haven't read the books so what I took from that scene was that Four thought he was in simulation, he mentions how he has to look away when he kills an inoccent girl during the test. When they were in simulation instead of a random girl he for a moment sees Tris. So, when she puts a gun to herself and Four starts to look away she forces him to look at her, tells him she loves him and touches his face the same way she did during the kiss, so he realises its reality. I remember it so vividly because I genuinly thought it was very clever how they executed it.

Okay it's hard to find faults in the pitch meetings, but the reason why the tests take place was explained in the movies as well, it's so that the characters know what they are good at - it's similar to an aptitutude test before choosing your career, you know your strengths but you may follow something you are genuinely interested about, or are responsbible for following, regardless of the test results.

1:12 I think this might (and it's a very big might) be the one place where the movie makes sense. The faction test is merely a strong suggestion, not a decree, and your placement is where they think you'll most likely succeed in training.
