The cast that portrayed the characters are indeed perfect in their roles. It gave the movie more interesting to watch because of the correct casting. Like the leading actress which is Shailene Woodley (Tris) Her innocence face and at the same time her aggressive acting gave a lot of factor in portraying as the Divergent. Even the leading actor, Theo James (Four) His sense of being wild and a fighter compromise his role as protagonist not like the other one, Jai Courtney (Eric) who is also perfect for his role as a antagonist.
5 FACTIONS
Well, when I first watched the movie, Automatically the first thing that comes from my mind is, it is a Hunger Games look a like movie. The concept from the first is kind of same, The ambiance, people's face and people's clothes especially in Abnegation.
But when I realized those Factions roles, it suddenly pops to me the interest I must put to appreciation in watching the movie, Those 5 Factions has played the whole plot, My interest is on it and I've put my expectations in the movie. It didn't disappoint me, even though they didn't show all of it, Indeed its great. for you to have a summarize and view about those factions, I'll state the 5 Factions. Here it is ~

Abnegation are people who are selfless and ready to give a hand to other people who needs help.
Amity are those people who have a light and joyful heart, they live in harmonious and peace world
Candor are the Honest one, Importance of justice is what they compromise.
Dauntless in other hand, the one who bravely serve the new society with their strength.
Erudite are those people who has a higher intellect and wider explanation to things.
It's good to see this different kind of Factions, for me it doesn't only represents the movie itself but also the life we have today. Because I believe this Factions are the choices we have in our life, may be in being someone you wish you could be or someone people just want you to be and YOU was represents by Tris.

I think I learned in Divergent is the capability of each and everyone of us to define our own factions in our life, Test can't decide who we truly are, It is just a guide (like what it says in the movie) At the end, the options will live in our hands and we are the only one who can tell (Like what Tris did)
Tori: You have to trust yourself.

I've watched all these series but never read it before, If I would only have the chance I would read it. Its like Past, Present, Future path of life. One Choice can Transform you which is in the past, One choice can destroy you which is in the present and One choice will define you which is in the future.
ALL IN ALL
The movie is a must watch and of course is a must share, It doesn't only shows a fiction type of story but also the story that we have in our real life which can help those people who have struggle in believing what they want to be.
Either of the following factions, Remember to be who you are ~
We're like the Factionless now. We've left everything behind, but we found ourselves and each other. Tomorrow we may have to fight again, but for now we'll ride the train to the end of the line. And then, we'll jump.
