They call it Divergent.


Lunch with friends
Worked out Graduation Requirements today and had lunch with a few friends.

After lunch, my thesis groupmate and I went window shopping and ended up watching Divergent (we had planned watching this a month ago and nearly forgot about it). I was into the movie since I knew Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley will be there. I'd been a fan of John Green's The Fault in Our stars where they will be playing Gus and Hazel Grace in the movie adaptation which will be out on June.



So... We bought our tickets at this specific schedule and had less than five minutes before we can get in and watch the trailers before the movie starts.

We dropped by the comfort room before getting in it was crazy. She handed me her file of requirements before getting in the comfort room while i stayed and watched at my reflection at the mirror, holding my blue shoulder bag and my mobile phone wherein I inserted our tickets.

Our tickets

When this lady went out of the cubicle, I decided to do my waste so I won't have to excuse myself in the climax of the movie to answer nature's call. After my waste, I went out with this pal waiting for me just outside my cubicle. I handed her her requirements files as I reached for the tickets inserted in my phone, which I had slipped inside my bag as I was doing nature's call. I was surprised to hear my pal worried on something that might've belonged to her that she had dropped.

"How silly of me to drop this," she bent and picked it up near the cubicle she was from. "We could've wasted our money if we lost this!" She said as she showed me what she picked up.

It was a Divergent ticket for two. It felt wrong because I was so sure that I had it inserted in my mobile phone. "No," I shot back. "I had the ticket."

Still she couldn't believe what had she done and didn't mind me disagreeing. "I forgot I was holding our ticket."

I didn't know what to do. My heart was running like a horse. She felt so sorry on herself that she had almost lost our ticket and she didn't have time to listen to me so I dragged her outside the comfort room and showed her the tickets that we had bought.

"So," she said in amazement, not knowing how to feel like I did. "Who owns this?"

"We have two sets of tickets!"

Tickets we found

"What should we do?"

"We should be in that theater right NOW or else we won't have to see the trailers anymore."

We hurried to the theater right away and searched for our seats. By the time we were seated, I still couldn't believe what just happened. I pity the owner of those tickets. I thought how could we report a lost ticket when Divergent is all eyes of every moviegoer? What if someone would claim its hers when it really isn't? You can't even prove that the claimer really is the owner.

I pitied the owner really until the movie started. I didn't like the start that much. Maybe because I still feel pity to the owner; or maybe because it was too "harsh".  The pity feeling faded the moment I saw Ansel Elgort. I was OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!

So, Ansel Elgort was Caleb, Trish's brother (older or younger, doesn't matter as of now). Theo's character was good. The way he reaches for Trish reminds me of how Prince Maxon reaches for Lady America.

Overall, the movie was great. I never bothered to read the books. I still don't know if I'm up for the books. Divergent is way tooooooo better than Hunger Games. I think Veronica Roth is the genius for fantasy movies set for the future (and Kiera Cass for "Princessy" movies set in the future).
